You bet, I'd ride one. I like the look of the older ones too.
Quick story. A pipefitter friend of mine has been riding since childhood (he's 57 now). His wife died 16 years ago and her insurance got him out of debt. Since her passing, he works 4 months a year and rides 8 months, everywhere in North America on his BMW, GoldWing and Ultra. He bought a Burgman 650 cheap from a guy hard up for cash. After riding the Suzuki scooter around Jasper, Alabama a few weeks, he was called to go to Dallas, Texas on a sprinkler job. He rode the Burgman out there just to check it out. He came home and sold his HD and Gold Wing, then ordered a new Burgman 650. He said it's the best touring bike he's ever ridden. That's a testimony. But like someone said in Georgia a couple weeks ago, "It's still a scooter".
I'd like to have one of those or a SilverWing, just to have one.
Should this be in "Other Scooters"?
Yes, it should be in "Other Scooters". 
Seriously, tho, one of the North Alabama fellows that joins us in group charity rides here has some kind of Yamaha 400 or 500 cc scooter and he has absolutely no problem maintaining his position with the HDs or any of the rest of us, or ripping through the twisties (much to the chagrin of the HD riders). It's not my favorite "look" but it's a ride on two wheels and I gotta respect that. Plus, he's ridden "The Dragon" on it and I have yet to make the trip 
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
