Did you ever notice that the shoes you purchased in the early 70's always seems to be popular again 20 years later? Scooters and mopeds are really the same way. In fact, many of these companies are playing up the trend and coming out with scooters that look retro. The Metropolitan from Honda and the GVS from Vespa actually look like a form of older versions.

When Henry Ford was busting out Model T's in Detroit, scooters were all the rage across the pond. These scooters looked a lot like what we think of as a moped today. They have definitely changed over the years, but people still long for the way they used to look. It seems like it happens in every market. Take a look a 4 great scooter brands:

Cushman --The Cushman Company produced motor scooters from 1936 to 1965 and they were most widely used during WWII. If you've ever seen some of those old WWII documentaries or films, these are most likely what the GI's are cruising around on.

Mitsubishi Motor Company -- The Silver Pigeon was one of the first scooters that was available for purchase in Japan. What's cool about the Pigeon is that is was made, even back then, from mostly recycled materials.

Vespa Motor Scooters -- If you had a scooter in Europe after WWI, it was almost certainly a Vespa. To this day, they are still one of the most popular scooters in the world.

The Honda Power-sports -- By the end of the 50's, Honda introduced the Super Cub to the world. This little scooter went on to become the best selling scooter of all-time.(worldwide) With that Honda reliablity, I wouldn't be surprised if you could find one of these running today.

When you are looking at scooter in terms of having a worldwide reach, Honda has probably been the most diverse and they have certainly had more models than any other company that makes them.

It's cool that they are bringing back the retro scooter look. Most of them are just for looks and will come with 4 stroke engines that are water cooled instead of 2 stroke engines. Fuel injection is also a key feature that has been added to the newer versions.

What is old becomes new again.
