Western NY newbie here

Hi.Been riding motorcycles since 1972. Currently ride a Harley Ultra Classic and a Suzuki GZ250. I've been thinking about replacing the little Suzuki with a scooter. For now anyway, Im just lurking around on the forum, getting ideas and seeing what experienced scooter people have to say on the different scoots available. Hope to be the owner of one before the summer gets here.

hi & welcome to scootdawg.

i'm terrilee, the unofficial greeter
{ since they wont pay me, im unofficial}

u mention u been around bikes ,
BUT do u do alot of wrenching ?
i only ask, cause i know harley guys
who cant find their battery. ;D

there are literally 1000's of diff. scooters
but basically all the same.

what size u thinking?
ima guessing 250 cc
or bigger.

u can spend BIG $ and get a great bike, u might never have to wrench on, well goota do a lil
or spend 1/4 of big $ and get
a china scoot that u have to give a lot of TLC.

so im gonna ask a pretty stupid question
{ wells seems stupid--till u think}

WHAT DO U WANNA DO WITH A SCOOT ?

ifna u wanna go 35mph around the campground or
lil 5-10 mile " dang i need milk" - trips
50cc's will prob do ya.
some states--no plates, no license, etc

ifna u wanna do 50mph,
medium size trips etc 150cc
all states require license, plates, ins, etc--im sure all 50 ?

250cc's
70-80 mph cruiser type,
and theres 300's & 400"s


so back to me being a 'blonde '

WHAT DO U WANNA DO WITH A SCOOT ?
