Limited Edition...Max Appeal? Should you tick the sticker pack option on your new scooter?

Many would argue an essential part of being a scooterist is standing out from the crowd and riding a machine that declares your passion! With a classic Vespa or Lambretta you can add bling with crash bars, top boxes, screens and lots of chrome, but what about the plethora of sports and commuter scooters? Enter the sticker pack! 

With MotoGP and other categories having global appeal and the attention and participation of many scooter manufacturers, a race replica can add extra spice to an enthusiasts daily ride. But should that extend to a scooter? Do stickers add a layer of cool. or do they spell decal disaster? 

I am in the former, how groovy does this Suzuki Address look! This too is not the first, don’t forget the uber cool Peugeot Speedfight II 206 WRC, and of course the Yamaha Aerox Max Biaggi special edition! These are future classics and spell success for any future race replica scooters!

So what about this example? Whilst not a specific ‘race’ edition the stickers do add appeal, let you know the machine has been cared for, and with the addition of a sports exhaust, it should have the traffic light performance to match its looks! Being a Suzuki it should be unbreakable, and it has all the features of your regular commuter! 

But is it a Scooter Scrooge bargain?? Well no...you should be able to pick up a new example for a similar or even smaller price, but it is a lesson in making you think about the options box very carefully when buying new...what will add future value? I guarantee this machine will not remain in the classifieds for long!
