Even though these expos are primarily for motorcycles they don't forget about scooters either.

Vespa was there:

But what was a big thing at the show was scooters being seized for copy catting:

Sounds like the Chinese and Koreans are going to have to get it together?

Also look at Yamaha's newest idea:

At the AIM expo there was a long list of participants and if you scroll down the list you'll see a familiar face of one of our sponsors and members here:
