I have a Piaggio Liberty 150S. Great scooter in every way but I'm quitting riding soon and putting the Piaggio up for sale. Here are some things to consider.
Buy something you get to the dealer if needed for service. I currently haul the Piaggio 100 miles one way. It fits in my Subaru Baja but its still a hassle.
A Honda SH150 is a great scooter if you can find one.
Any KYMCO People series are nice scooters. I had the ugly 250cc first gen one. Dealers are always coming and going. Also consider a SYM HD200. Same situation with a dealer though. The SYM CityCom 300 is nice but I could NEVER get parts for mine. Paid $1000 and just drove it till it dropped and trashed it.
Honda is early releasing the ADV 150. If I wasn't hanging up my helmet I'd seriously consider one.
Any others you find refer to Motor Scooter Guide.net and Just Gotta Scoot.com
Big wheel scooters are not super popular in the USA, hence the reason I've owned a Kymco People 250 (1st gen), a SYM CityCom 300 (used for cheap) and currently a Piaggio Liberty 150. And various others "small" wheels. Owned...
Honda Elite 80. It got me into scooters.
LOVE the Honda Helix. Owned 3 of them.
Zuma 50s. Its a hobby. I currently have a 1998 going up for sale.
Zuma 125. Slow but reliable.
Hyosung Sense 2-stroke. Wife's. Loved that scooter.
2 Buddy 125's. Best value in scooters.
A PINK Buddy 50. That thing rocked for a stock 50.
Suzuki Burgman 200. Nice but a nightmare to work on.
Honda Silverwing. Wife has one. Converted to a MotoTrike. Still own.
Yamaha Majesty. Kinda miss it. Good scooter. Bought cheap.
Honda Metro. Bought cheap. Fun to ride but slow.
Let us know what you find and end up buying. Happy shopping!
