As Far As Weather goes, its either hot as heck, or cold. lol We dont get much snow really, I know riding a scooter in the snow isnt really an option, but its literally maybe 1 week a year that we have nasty roads due to ice/snow.

Most of my commute , will be back roads. I live out in the country, but most jobs will head into town. I dont have a job nailed down yet, but most locations I will not be traveling anywhere near a Highway. At Worst case Scenario, i might have to cross over one, but thats not really an issue.

Im looking at 1000$ dollars, if that is a reasonable price range. (if its far fetched, then let me know, i wont be affended)

I know a larger CC is really prefered (more like 125cc) However, just due to the fact of everything I would need in order to be "OK" to drive legally is #1. A Headache. #2. Time Consuming. #3. Add more cost yearly.

Ive never owned a bike/scooter before, so i honestly dont wanna jump right into something bigger anyways. I know this 50cc will be slower, take more time to wear im getting, and im good with that (Seriously, im that guy who drives the truck down backroads going 45mph lol my gf is always like Speed up!!! pshaw)

Heres on im looking at. Puma Romea 50CC http://scooterboymd.com/scooters/hello-world/ I like this one because #1. Price is right. #2. I really like the "vespa style" most. #3. Reviews ive read about puma say that its a decent chinese scooter.

Thanks for the replies! looking to hear more

Make sure you leave some money in the budget for riding gear

You may want to look at 2 t scoots as well as they have more power and speed then a 4 t scoot
