I know most of the HD dogs don't get it but the clearance shown is because they have adjustable air ride suspensions and they set them on their belly pans or actually some knobs to rest.

No kickstand needed and most of these anemic scooters can light up the rear tires some are turbo'd and put out 3 times what your sportster can manage.

And as far as handling with the modern suspension's on some of them not to mention the power to drift getting around in a parking lot shouldn't pose any problems.

Really two wheels are two wheels and the ground and cages hurt just as much no matter what you are sitting on at the time show some respect!

PLEASE, PLEASE! Do any of you guys have any short term memory?? It has been said three or four times in this post that these scooters have airbag suspensions which raise the scooter up to ride and drops down to park. Quit rehashing the fact that they sit low when parked! I have also spent a few years in Japan. They take their rides VERY seriously. It doesn't matter if it is a 200 cc modified scooter, or a 2000 CC modified Toyota. At the end of the week, they are polished, running at top performance and cruising the neighborhood. For those old enough to remember, we USED to do that here in the States. Friday night cruising in our prettied up GTX's and SS Novas. Didn't matter if it was a Duster, or a Fairlane. What ever happened to the tolerance for others that we used to have? No wonder the world hates us (but I digress). Please take this for what is is: These units show great workmanship and pride; something sorely lacking around here; where customization equals some random tape stripe down the side of a gargantuan SUV

Scooters are slow? not all Sivv. A turbocharged Honda Silverwing, a tuned Italjet Dragster or Gilera Runner "scooter" will out run a lot and i mean "a lot" of "cool and bad ass" poser Harleys you know and love. But hey how would you know right....

Scooters are like fat chicks.... They're fun to ride. You just don't want your friends to know... Or is that the other way around ?
