FWIW, I picked up a new Yamaha Vino yesterday. The silver paint looks phenomenal, and I keep doing double-takes to be sure I'm not seeing a Vespa before me. This bike seems to testify that Yamaha, at least, if not other Japanese bikes, are incredibly adept at derivative styling of European originals..that must be old news here, though.
A couple of post-delivery adjustments that I don't know how to fix:
1. The high beam pattern is up in the trees, though the low is just where it should be...since it is a single bulb design, is there a set of adjustments for internal headlamp reflectors?
2. The throttle has 1/2 lateral play..is there a simple way to tighten it?
3. Where can one buy the utilitarian cargo baskets? My dealer said they aren't being shipped?
The bike rides great, more comfort than sport. Once I get through the break in period, I'll probably modify the exhaust (washer removal).
I hope I get better reliability out of this motor than my 1978 Magnum MK2 (Puch) or Motobecayne.
Cheers,
John
