they can go up to 60 mph, and get about 80 mpg. So pretty much $5 a month.

What's the purpose of buying this vehicle. Is it to impress others, or is it a means to save money on transportation? Anyway, why should you care what others think?
Also, I used to have a motorcycle, but I came to my senses and sold it after a few close calls with idiot drivers. In short, motorcycles are extremly dangerous...I'd advise not getting one.

yeah, motorcycles, do you think this would be any safer. I do want to save gas money.

Re: moped or motorcycle?

I would say a motorcycle would be safer than motor-scooter only because motorcycles have is more manuverability and acceleration. With that said, there really is not much of a difference. On a motorcycle, your whole body is exposed and there is nothing protecting you which can be a major problem when encountering ground that is moving 60mph below you.
Bottom line advise: buy a small economical car (or take public transpotation ).

Get a sportsbike man. I haw a Kawi Ninja 636, it insanly fun! But if you enjoy life and want to live a long time get a moped... even though people will think you are gay.

Man the bike i have is a chick magnet!, and its so fun to show off... everysingle eye is on you! Once you learn to do wheelies and ride without hands, you will have the time of your life.

But insurance is too high, and its way more expensive than a moped 3kvs 10k
but its what you like.

But good luck in picking up girls on a moped, or even enjoying the ride!.

Re: moped or motorcycle?

I personally don't like any sort of motorcycle but if you want one, I would say:

Moped for shot commutes that are street only.
Motorcycle for longer and freeway commutes.

But is it "embarassing" to drive a moped? Why would it be? They have their purpose and sometimes they are the best solution. A lot of college students for example use mopeds to get around. It depends on the university (like you wan't see as many in LA) but that's mainly because commutes in LA are usually on the really long side But if you go visit some college towns, you'll see tons of mopeds zooming around. They are also very popular in European big cities (like Rome for example).
