Already looking towards Spring and the 2009 models...

With an eye towards the latest and greatest, I decided to take a look around the internet at scooters to come, and see if there are any standouts for 2009.

My first pick for next year is stylish and similar in look to my Vino, The Aprilia Mojito 150. I tend to lean towards the retro or classic styling and the Mojito 150 seems to build on the lines the Vino has been sporting. Geez they even named it after an alcoholic drink.

At the moment The Aprilia Website does not list a price, nor do any local dealers have this scoot on their site yet. But I think its one to watch for '09.
The high-tech and environmentally friendly MOJITO is the ideal solution to all your urban mobility needs.

The beautifully finished MOJITO is easy and fun to ride, and designed to please all. With its distinctive, reassuring styling, the MOJITO is particularly appreciated by lady riders.

The MOJITO 150 is powered by a sporty yet reliable Aprilia engine. Years of experience in racing have enabled Aprilia to develop an air cooled engine that delivers excellent performance (especially in terms of acceleration) and power that is far smoother and more progressive than the competition.

A 12” front wheel and large section rear tyre guarantee great road holding. The long, broad and extremely comfortable seat is only 755 mm high for perfect control under all riding conditions.
MOJITO colour schemes are all original, lively and cheerful without being gaudy. Micalised paintwork ensures a classy, elegant finish.
