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. | |||
Front and rear disc brakes mean braking couldn't be easier, while the BV's 16" wheels and dual shock absorbers make for the smoothest ride in scootering. The BV carries you and a passenger with comfort and style. Underneath the plush, split-level seat is a lockable storage compartment. | |||
Add on an optional top case and side compartments and you'll have more than enough storage for urban errand-running or longdistance travels. | |||
Highlights: | |||

* Large 16" wheels | |||

* Optional top case and side compartments | |||
