Riding w/visor flipped-up: You won't want to do it much unless you're going Really slow. As mentioned, the wind will feel like it's pulling your helmet off. Which brings up Eye Protection- also mentioned above, but worth repeating. -Even if you must go helmet-less on a short ride, always ALWAYS wear that eye protection.
I don't know if you've ridden much; if so, you've already found that even just tooling around at 25mph will get you bugsintheeyeballitis!
I used to have -and miss- an old 70's Vespa Rally 200, which I found languishing in a shed at a garage sale. (Bought it for something like $35!) A very fun ride.
I've since kitted up a small-engined modern scooter to move! at very high revs, but admittedly, the vintage stuff had far more Soul. Enjoy it.
