gotta lok at it this way, you save 60 bucks a week, but how much more are you putting out a month in insurance and payments on the scooter? and when it rains the scooter is quite useless. i wana buy a bike next year but i dont wanna get into payments. because the mone im gonna save on gas evey month im gonna put out the same or more for payments and insurance.

I was thinkin to just get some a bit older like for less than a G, arent there some that you dont need insurance to have or are those just the slow ones?

prety sure anything over 49 cc you need to have plates lights insurance and all that stuff including a license. you wont find much for uner a grand that doesnt need work. my buddy has an 80's kawasaki i think and he was asking 750 but it needs a bit of work.

very manly indeed...i remember seeing all the nonnas riding them to the grocery store in italy.
seems like you are doing nothing but trying to prove yourself on this site, with your "manly" scooter and your "japan racing performance etc etc" r32.

A lot of ppl are leaning towards this new product...

It's a mini-bike, (not a pocket bike) but bigger and has everything you need to be legal on the road. It is 150cc (one tank of gas which is 8 bucks of premium will last you 150-200 km depending on how you drive).

Only problem is I know 2 manufactures and both have the VIN as ATV (all terrain vehicle). And by-law ATV on the road has to have 4 wheels that touch the ground all the time. (you would need a new VIN, and the bike registered as a LSM (low speed motorcycle) in order to get it on the road)

I was considering it, but I have a good job/ close by so gas really isn't an issue. Besides if it was getting that bad I wouldnt mind a normal Mountain Bike (No insurance, no gas, and good exercise)

well as it is now i travel from brampton airport and mayfield to mississauga agentia and mississauga road taking backroads all the way so a scooter or moped i would need it to do about 80 to not have people ram me off the road.

Although, if I have to get a license for it I might just by a motorcycle although my fiance would kill me LOL

in holland everybody uses a bike ... but that's BECAUSE THEY CAN ... short distances in smartly designed cities and huge bicycle lanes . Other countries in western europe make it accessible as well . And the bike lanes can be used by scooters .

but crossing toronto with a scooter ... when you have -40 degrees outside ? When it snows and nobody cleans it up ? ... hmmm ...
