My wife and I like to pull our travel trailer around the country. I was thinking about a scooter or smallish bike for those trips. I could put any size bike in the back of the truck, but smaller would be more convenient. I have to admit a 125 soumds like a lot of fun. 520 was the dry weight of a bike with no fairing, bags or any aftermarket accessories. All that stuff adds up fast. The bike was air cooled and had an oil cooler. Liquid colling might have added 30 lbs or so. The weight of a fairing would have been easily offset by the fuel savings on the highway. These days I much prefer to be behind a windscreen.
