Ok, the French ID and The V2i seem to be the same length, and a Pro Model is only about an inch shorter than both of those.
The reason it feels like a v2i is so long is because the headtube takes up less space than on most scooters, and the brake is more compact too.
I don't have a v2i but I really want to try one. I have a V2 district, the shorter version and I like every part about it except the length, since I'm coming from riding a TSI flowmaster.
That being considered, I'd say a v2i is a better option, as it's about the same length as a French ID but also a tad lighter.
