I like Vespas. They are pretty fun to ride, in that they can be relaxing and don't have the heavy noises/pull of a larger bike. Riding around Calgary though.....

Useless in the winter (obviously). Not the ideal vehicle for a busy highway. I would not hit Deerfoot on one of these, for example. If you live in a place where you have a route that doesn't require you to traverse one of the main arteries, you're probably okay. Although in Calgary, that's a pretty limited area. You're probably fine on a road like Crowchild or maybe McLeod, but wouldn't use it regularly on anything heavier.
