In my case, I purchased a Schwinn Valo 150. I us it for driving back and forth to work. My round trip is just over 20 miles and I stick to the residental streets. This is my first scooter I have ever purchased or driven. I'm a novice like you and still learning the ropes as it were. I originally practiced driving it in a very large parking lot at a local school. Have been lucky enough to say I have not spilled it.

Handles well, good take off from a stop,and plenty of storage under the seat.Plus you can add a trunk box if you need extra storage space. It's averaged about 62 mpg,after the initial break in. It will do highway speeds, but I wouldn't recommend that type of use because it's only about 400 lbs. and the wind would blow you all over. I'm over 200lbs and the scooter will move out fast and get me ahead of the traffic with no problems. I have been riding a 750cc motorcycle for the last 10 years, and the Xciting 250 is by far much easier to ride on around town. KYMCO used to make Honda parts and from all the research I've come across, it seems to be a good brand that cost less than the name brands. The Xciting is water cooled, which is a great thing if you get stuck in some traffic on a hot day, because you won't cook the engine. Only problem I could see for someone is the seat height is pretty tall. I've got a 34" inseam and can touch down both feet comfortably, much shorter than 32" you will be on your toes at a stop. The believe the new EFI version has a slightly shorter seat height.This scooter comes with a 2 year warranty and some dealers will sell you an extended.<br><b>References : </b><br> I've been riding a 2007 KYMCO Xciting 250 for the past 4 weeks and it's great.

A 9mm will keep people from stealing them but a .45 works better or a good lock.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://c3rider.com//index.php Yamaha C3 by far, Best gas mileage.

Any cycle can be stolen by 4 guys and two 4 x 4's. Use a simple hidden audible motion detector ( hidden). The modern scooter is a work of art. I love the Suzuki Burgman 400 but it is a little pricey @$5500ish new. At 3K there are several 250s to choose from. Pick from a major brand, do not go near the new cheap stuff. Cheap is cheap, period; then you;re stuck with it. Vespa is excellent but a little pricey ( u get what u pay for). Now a cycle - I think you'll do better on a 250 cycle even though you will have to learn to shift. Big deal, take a riders course. I think you'll be able to recoup some of your money easier from a used cycle than a used scooter (bigger market).<br><b>References : </b><br> I would prefer a cycle to a scooter.

While it may be ugly, the Yamaha C3 is a great choice as it has a lot of storage area, 9 gallons of storage! Plus it being so ugly the chances of it being stolen is less. Use common sense when parking any motorbike, kids love to play on them and idiots will hurt themselves. They are easy to drive but I HIGHLY recommend you take a MSF course for scooters, or motorcycles. The scooter course will be easier for you but will not prepare you for motorcycles. Do one of these courses! Good Luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Well if you are just going to do round the neighborhood scooting, then either the Yamaha or the Honda will do the job for you.
