There wasn't a good place to put this so here it is.

Anyone have a 150cc for sale? Or a suggestion for a good one?

What about the Alien scooters? Are they made in China? Is there a list of good brands?

Yamaha

Honda

Vespa

Piaggio

Anything else is hit or miss, If you can get ahold of one for $400, it may be worth the risk, otherwise, I'd be saving my nickels and dimes for something that you know will last a while and you can have a mechanic work on if need be.


These don't look too bad:

But for $1,000 more, you can buy this:

That's where my money would be.

I edited my last post, read about that Yamahahahaha, not a bad deal at all. Big enough of a scooter for the OCC guys to go on a multi state road trip on.

$1k more and you get a Yamaha with a factory warranty... buy the Yamaha.

Dave's mom reeks of queer too... but she gets way more trim than you do.


Scooters are fun as hell and a great way to cut down on gas prices while not risking your Driver's License.
