Before you get in your car on Monday morning, ask yourself this: Are you looking forward to your commute? Get yourself a BV and you will. Twist the throttle and traffic disappears behind you. Powered by a Piaggio single cylinder, four-stroke engine with an automatic transmission, the BV is the ideal vehicle for stop-and-go situations.
