General Comments
I bought my RV 125 4 months ago - the VanVan is my first bike. Despite the fact that I had no previous experience with motorcycles and that I am quite old (close to 30s) to start learning to drive, I found the VanVan very easy. It is ideal for short trips and equally good for down town which is very important because the roads in Athens are always very congested. I do like the appearance of the VanVan as it is very stylish.
The two problems I have noticed are - firstly the lack of extra power when you want it. Over 75 km/h it accelerates very slowly and sometimes you need it to go faster and secondly it is sometimes difficult to change gears.
Otherwise the VanVan is an excellent bike. Ideal for novice drivers and most importantly it is a very comfortable bike and you will enjoy driving it. I would recommend it to everyone!

Don't be so hard on you, I'm 36 and I'm beginning to learn to drive bikes, scooters are not counting, even so my next would be Van Van. Greetings.
