Honestly why spend the money on a scooter.  They are VERY VERY limited in use.  Most of the 50cc models only do about 35-50mph tops and really look dorky ridden by a dude.  ANd when ya get into the bigger engined models ya may as well get a small cc bike for cheaper that goes faster handles better and looks better and gets just as good fuel milage.

The only people around here I see on scooters are older, fat guys. I assume their wives thought bikes were to dangerous but scooters are just sooo cute.

This isn't to buy, I wouldn't put that kind of money into it. I wanted to rock one in Europe at least once but the gf is a spaz on anything with 2 wheels and wasn't feeling it, so it didn't happen. Now we're going to Victoria at some point this summer and I just had some friends there that rode around on those, and they were quite cheap, so I'm considering it. They also have dirtbikes and more, but I believe you have to be licensed:

You definately seem like the kind of person to ride a scooter.

Scooters are awesome. My brother used one because he went to UCSC, where all the class are spread throught different "colleges" on campus. Costs about 8 bucks to fill up too.

They still offer NO benifit over small CC real bikes. 

AS for the license thing.  I dont know bout anywere else but here you need motorcycle license for anything over 50cc and event he 50cc have their own license needed.

If its for the auto deal well you really should learn to shift cause its really easy and save a TON of maintence.  The V-Belts and Variators of the CVT are REG wear items lasting at most 20,000kms.  A bikes cluch is pretty much the only wear item and the one on my old bike is still good with 60,000kms.

I ride a Yamaha 1100 V-Star.  I commute on the bike as well as take trips and cruise around.  So far its netting me an average of 49mpg.   But if i were to get a strictly commuter bike id probly opt for a Yamaha WR250X.  That bike get 80mpg is very low maintence. Make enuff power to out run traffic when needed can carry my fat ass to over 140km/hr and is a fun little scoot that can double as a trail bike too.

If you can drive a standard car, but not shift on a bike, something is wrong with you. I found shifting easy as pie, maxed my friends little bike out first time on it no problem. Only got up to 50 MPH (80 kmph) but it was still a blast. UGH I wish I could afford one.
