"Here in NY (the vampire state) what is the minimum scooter to travel legally on the interstate highways, such as 86 (the old rt 17)?"

That question involves many factors. I won't lie. I have a 50cc motorcycle that I took on Rt. 17. It's capable of 50 mph on level ground. Was I watching my rear view mirrors the whole time? Absolutely. Plus I was on a section with a 55 mph speed limit. Would I do that all the way to Horseheads? No way. Parts are 65 mph and wide open.

There are many 200cc scooters capable of riding on a 65 mph road, but to be safe you should have at least 250cc under you.
