I am going to be starting to write a scooter column for Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly. Pretty much the same thing of what has been done in the past. Rally reviews, scooter news and maybe the new bikes that come to our shores from around the world.
It looks like Vespa introduced a new line of scooters to take over for the ET2 and ET4s. The LX line is similar in design to the GT 200 which was introduced last year. 
TGB a new scooter company to the US, probably best known for having riders race across the country in pizza delivery scooters will introduce a new scooter to go along with their pizza bike, 101s a bike that competes against the Yahama Zuma and the Laser a sporty styled bike. The new scooter, the R50X is in the sport style but has angular lines and is a 50cc. I'm sure the US spec version will have different blinkers on the front and maybe on the back. What is intersting about this model is that there is a big tachometer right in the middle with a smaller digital speedo off to one side.
hey, I've been meaning to call/email you about MMM. Glad to hear you are going to do it -- my schedule is wicked packed right now and I felt bad about ignoring the MMM column. Have fun with it and if you need anything (pictures, etc) let me know!
