Are scooters "more fun" than motorcycles?

Maxiscoots have diminished the difference but if you like to shift gears, acceleerate fast, and go off road, motorcycles are more fun.

I traded for a scooter after I retired because my wife and daughters did not want me to buy a motorcycle. They thought a scooter might be less dangerous. I rode motorcycles for 30 years (1960-1990).

I started with a 150cc and then bought a 400cc. I now ride a 650cc Suzuki Burgman which rides much cooler than a motorcycle (engine heat is ducted under the rider), with a driver backrest it is more comfortable, and with a T-box can carry twice the load.

The step through frame makes it easier for an to mount and is almost a necessity if you have a backrest and T-box.

In the city, scooters are just as much fun and usually more comfortable and convenient.
