So, yes I want to get a scooter. It may sound funny to some people, but I think it will be great.
I stopped driving, and I'm finding it a pain in the arse to get to places especially work and the bank, which are the only places I'm going to now because of this.
I considered using the bus, but the bus system here isn't very good because our city isn't that large population wise. Unfortunately, everything in our city is also separated, and being on the outskirts isn't helping much either. Another down side to the bus pass is that it is also expensive. The cost of the bus pass will cover the insurance on the scooter.
I can go back to driving a car, but I rather not. Better for the environment and better for my wallet.
Anyways, check out the scooters I'm looking at:

They are all about the same price, only the Honda is above like by $400.
I looked around for used ones, but I couldn't find any good ones. Also, I have to make sure the old bike can be insured. If it's not listed, it will probably cost more, so I want to avoid that.
In Ontario we must insure scooters now, and get a motorcycle license which I will do soon.
I hope to be on one by the end of MAY!
The savings in insurance and gas will pay for this scooter itself!
Anyways, which bike is your favourite?
Note: There are other models, but they are "extreme" (a.k.a. "ugly") looking and storage space.
