OK, it may be plastic bolted onto a steel frame but it’s not all bad. The scooter I purchased was a new AJS Modena 125, basically a re-badged Lexmoto Milano. I kept trying to twist the left handlebar to change gear and stamp my right foot on the floorboards to try and activate the rear brake - but once I’d got used to these oddities it quickly became fun to ride. So, two years ago I did the unthinkable as a traditional scooterist and owner of a 1961 Vespa 125, I purchased an automatic scooter for the daily commute, to save my pride and joy from the rigours of the English winter. Believe me, as a Vespa owner and rider for more than 30 years I’ve done my fair share of that! There’s never been a better time to ride a ‘retro’ styled scooter - without having to resort to oily fingers and roadside maintenance on a damp Monday night on the way home from work.
