Sticky, that is one cool skooter. I see you are already picking up the babes. ;)  My question is, do you counter steer that skoot in the corners?

LOL thanks I will tell her :)  Oh yeah countersteerings just like any two wheeler.  the two front wheels lean to 40deg.  Looks kinda like a downhill skier.  Here is a promo video from 2006 when they first hit the states. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zJwRbQHCZU

They have a 250  and 400cc models that look similar and a 500cc model that looks mean lol

Yeah it really is.  Hoping they come out with an 850cc model in the future but not holding my breath.  Will probably move up to the 400 or 500 eventually as the 250 lacks the power to pass in many situations on a two-lane but for now, using it as a commuter here in flat Florida, it fits my needs.
