I am looking at a used '05 Zuma, and wondering about the cost of ownership. How much of that two-stroke oil do these guys go through? Seems like that would offset the fuel cost savings, and I might be better off with a 150?

I would fill up my oil reserve in my old Honda and get around 600 miles before it needed more. Your getting more power and speed at the cost of a couple more buck's over a 4 stroke, but now that im stuck using one I miss my honda elite. This chinese bike is just to damn slow.

It's about an extra $0.75 a gallon more to run a two stroke ($0.60-$0.90) just in additional oil. Two strokes get worse gas mileage too (by 25% +/-). But, the two stroke is simpler, lighter, easier to work on and more powerful per cc. I love my Zuma, it's quality equipment.
With that being said, I just bought a Kymco 250cc four stroke scooter, and it gets better gas mileage than my hopped up Zuma, and goes faster... Good luck with your decision.
