Scooter recommendations?

Mar 09, 2009 13:08

I'm thinking of getting a scooter to have this summer. 49cc, no more than $1000, will buy used.

Any recommendations? I know nothing about scooter brands except that a new Vespa is probably more than I want to spend.

Whatever you do, don't buy ANY Chinese scooters. Buy a used Yamaha of any kind, they're great. I had a 125cc Yamaha Vino and it was a hoot. An old Zuma would be a good pick.

Basically stay away from Korean/Chinese scooters, they're very poorly made with no support network in the states.

so true. I had a Geely for 2 years till it got stolen, but it was so falling apart by then whoever took it probably killed themselves on it.

I HAVE heard decent things about the People, however, and my friend has a Honda Metropolitan that she adores, but the shop says it's a bitch to work on.
