I also did the same thing but found my Kymco. I'm glad I did.

I really 2nd this. I've had my scooter for 2 weeks and am already dreaming into the future about having a motorcycle. The main reason i got a scooter was for cheap entry into the 2 wheeled world just to try it out. It really makes sense now why so many people are in love with them.

I've personally spent a whole life afraid of them. I rode 1 time when i was 6 on the back of someone else and have had nothing but fear since. I'm pushing 30 now and just overcoming it. I'll thank newegg.com for sending me an email advert for a scooter under $1000
