Put some fun between your legs!
Before you get in your car on Monday morning, ask yourself this: Are yourself a BV and you will. Twist the throttle and traffic disappears behind you. Powered by Piaggio single cylinder, four-strock engine with an automatic transmission, The BV is the ideal vehicle for stop-and-go situations, while its 16" wheels and dual shock absorbers make for the smoothest ride in scootering

I purchased my scooter in May of 2006 at Illini Scooter. Since that time I have over 4,500 in town miles on it. The gas mileage is excellent, at 70mpg. The scooter is fully automatic and easy to handle. I am able to keep up with todays traffic. See Dale & Frank and they will put you on one today. Thanks again
Hi, my name is Chuck McArty and I bought my Vespa from the scooter store in Champaign - Illini Scooters. Great people to work with! I have had it a little over a year now and have over 5400 miles on it. Runs great and gets 82 MPG. You just cant beat filling up at the gas pump for under $5.00!! I have three cars and last year my gas bill for them was over $700. So far, I have had two oil changes, one rear tire and added an air horn. Not bad and what a blast to ride!
Illini Scooters sell several different brands of quality scooters and will be able to help you get just the right one for whatever your needs. My money is on riding a scooter!!
Just for the record, I am 71 years old and retired! Yeah!!
