I decided to add my personal results to my cartoon blog even though this blog is mainly for software testing.
My goal today was to check-out whether the Lambretta revival V-Special is an interesting alternative
to my beloved but seriously broken Vespa. I've read the Lambretta advertisement in the news. I checked many pictures and it made me curious. The longer I googled the more excited I got, and I also checked the price which seemed reasonable to me.
The positive things I noted, was the quiet motor and the firm road holding at the speed of 80km/h. Something I wasn't used to my current Vespa. Also the design of the new Lambretta is great and contains so much of the Sixties. There is also space for the helmet under the seat which is cool.
However, less joyful is the fact, that almost everything is made out of plastic. Wouldn't it be nice if at least the wings were solid metal. If you carry a passenger, the wings will be full of scratches shortly.
In order to save fuel, you need to consider weight, but a little less of elastic material is desirable.
While on the test ride, I realized the slightly oversized LCD monitor just below the small analog speedo. Unfortunately, the LCD is so big that you can hardly read your speed in the analog display which I think is kind of dangerous, because you spend too much time looking for the needle; time that may be needed elsewhere.
Overall it looks really nice. The designers did a great job keeping as much of the Sixties as possible.The many plastic is a disappointement. I really hope they are going to change that soon.
