Which 50cc scooter would you recommend?

[chasebuzz]

I'm looking to purchase a 2 stroke, 50cc scooter and I'm not sure which make and model to purchase.

I was hoping that the experts would provide their opinions.

I will be using the scooter as my primary means of transportation while at school. I live ~3.5 miles from campus and anticipate having many errands throughout the day. I'm looking for a GREAT QUALITY scooter that will last me a long time and not require a lot of maintenance. I probably wont do too many modifications while in school, but will be looking to increase the stock speed a bit.

I have ~2k to spend and plan on buying a new scooter. I am 5'6'' and weigh ~140 pounds, so I don't my weight will be a problem. I will also be going to school in NC, so that should give you a taste of the road conditions that I will be working with.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please provide the make and model as I know that different brands offer varying ranges of quality.
