    I am not an experienced scooter rider, so I was looking for a bike that was reliable, safe, sturdy, easy to ride and easy on the eye, as well as cost-effective and speedy. Not asking too much then!

    The Piaggio Fly 125 satisfies all my requirements admirably. I did my CBT on a Vespa, and this Fly is a much more solid ride. The bike is a little bit heavier than a Vespa, which adds to stability when riding, it has larger wheels than the Vespa, and a slightly larger top box for storing all my goodies. It also costs £700 less than the Vespa LX 125cc equivalent.

    The brakes are fantastic, steering is easy, seat is VERY comfortable. Accelleration is fab - I can keep up with larger engine motorbikes easier when pulling away from traffic, yet the bike is nimble enough to filter through and around traffic when needed.

    I was concerned that I hadn't seen many Flys out on the road, so wondered if there was a reason they weren't as popular - I think it's purely down to looks. Most people who want a scooter want to scoot in style. The Fly is more like the Vespa's older, more sensible brother - considering this is my first bike, sensibility was very important to me. I also think that it is less likely to get stolen for the very same reason.

    I have never ridden a bike of any kind before; the Piaggio Fly is making it easy. I have commuted into central London on trains/tubes for 10 yrs now and the journey would take me an hr minimum each way, and my monthly travelcard would cost me £110. The journey on the Fly now takes me 30 mins, and the bike costs me £64 a month, plus about £6 a week in petrol. So I am saving an hr a day, and almost £50 a month.

    Based on my experiences with the Fly, I am surprised it isnt more popular in the UK. I highly recommend it, am very pleased with my bike, and wish I had got one years ago!

    very comfortable, handles road well, is quite fast, gets you away from cars at lights & keeps you out of trouble. This is the best scooter ive ridden so far & ive rode a few in my time. If you like scooters as i do then purchase a piaggio fly 125cc,I dont think you will be dissapointed..

    only one downfall, cold start in morning or when left for a few hours,,just twist the throttle three times & then turn her over,,she should start,i got the hang of it within two days,,apart from that little neg ...

    I am really really pleased with this bike and definately feel that it was good value for money and way better than the other 125cc out there, its safe, reliable and economical. I would buy piaggio again!
    I have had my bike for nearly a year and it has never let me down! I can go for weeks at a time without riding it and it still starts first time and although a little cold is running fine in a couple of minutes. I've taken it on some long runs and reached over 70mph in good conditions which is i ...

    I Love it and will definitely consider advancing from the 125 to a 250cc. I have had Vespa Piaggio before and i will again.

    You get a lot of scooter for your money with the fly. Comes with the tried and tested leader 125cc which has been around for ages so you know it will go the distance. Somehow the 125cc in the Fly feels stronger than in my "previous" Vespa LX 125. It also handles much better, probably due to the larger wheels and rubber. A heap of fun to ride and very predictable. This is a generous size scoot that will fit most people (short, tall, big and small) It looks sharp and smart and more expensive than ...

    After returning to 2 wheels after many many years I'm very happy with my choice. For urban use and occasional long trips or freeways this is a great little scooter. The full height windscreen has made an incredible difference to riding comfort, with minimal impact on top speed (I don't push it anyway). I find travelling on 100kph freeways not a problem - off peak there is no pressure while in the 'slow' lane, and during peak hours I pass everyone else anyway! I like the fact that the panels are ...

    Have owned a Piaggio Fly 125 for a few weeks and it is a superb machine its acceleration is great, there is no sluggishness, you can feel the torque in it. I am currently running it in so am doing only 50mph, I think it will top out at 60 though.
