I read (go ahead and make my day) article about scooters. I have two Chinese scooters and did not have any trouble getting insurance or getting a title or getting it licensed so I could ride it legally.

The scooter is a 150cc and runs fine at 50 miles per hour. I don't think I would want to go much faster on 13 inch tires no matter what the make.

I am sure there are nicer scooters on the market but not for the money. My bike rides good and the engine is quiet. I am averaqging around 75 miles to the gallon.

So far I am a happy camper. I bought the bikes on ebay and I would imagine I could find parts on ebay or go to a local dealer that sells Chinese bikes about 2 miles form my home.
