India’s LML Star is a scooter by many names. Here in the US it’s re-badged by Chicago’s Genuine Scooter Company as the Stella. In the UK it remains under its LML moniker. In Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, it’s the Belladonna RV150 where it is imported by NZ scooter distributor, the Retro Scooter Co.

Mechanically we’re talking about the same bike, so if you’re interested in a perspective on the scooter from our friends south of the equator, thescooterreview.com has answered the call. Wish that beautiful canary yellow paint-job was available in the States…

We’ll let you click on through for the full review, but the site gives a great definition of the idiosyncrasy of the LML Star in a modern world surrounded by twist-n-go scooters:

Summing up the Belladonna is complex…it’s like someone trying to justify why they bought a Versace shirt over say something from The Gap. They both do the same job; and in many cases The Gap product will actually be superior…however what kind of person are you? Regular; run of the mill sort of person…or are you something a little more unique…something maybe, a bit…cooler. To really nail it home; get this, the Belladonna is actually priced well too; it’s a significantly less money than the Vespa equivalent so it’s not really rocket science, if retro’s your style…the Belladonna RV150 is definitely your bag…baby.
