Looking to purchase a Vespa for 18 year old daughter. Maybe you are not selling but have great advice as begin our search. Looking for all helpful info on Vespa or Yamaha scooters. Live in New Mexico but she will be heading to college in San Francisco in next few months.

I know there are a few companies who offer this but the premiums seem hefty…..when the scooter is indoors or on the owner property surely its coverted in the contents & if used outdoors its a bit like a bike …..again covered by contents as a bike would be…..so is it justa frightener that they tell you to get insurance on them because you feel pretty vulnerable to start with?

I’m interested in a great price on Vespa’s best product.

Did you know that a 250cc scooter can actually go as fast as a lot of motorcycles? Well, it is true. So if you are tired of having so much pain at the pump, check into getting a scooter. They are a lot less expensive than a motorcycle and quite as scary for most people. There are many great brands to choose from, so you really can not go wrong.

250cc scooters are a great way to go. Here are some great brands to look at.

The Honda Motor Company — Although they don’t have a 2500cc scooter, the 1500 SH150i is a great alternative. It may not be quite as fast, but I think it is worth taking a look at. Honda makes more engines that anyone in the world.

The Kymco Company — If you are willing to part with about $4000 you can get your hands on a Grandista 250. It has a 4 stroke engine, but no fuel injection.

Vespa – The GTS 250 is the more affordable version ($6000) and the GVT 250 is the high end model ($7000+) because of its old school looks. Both feature a 4 stroke, liquid cooled engine with electronic fuel injection.

United Motors – At just over $2000, the Expressway 250 comes at the most affordable option in this category. It still has a 4 stroke liquid cooled engine, so if you are on a tight budget make sure you take a long hard look at the Expressway. Great deal!

Cheetah Scooters — With a price tag of $3000, the Cheetah’s Touring 250cc scooter is a great value.

Yamaha – Yamaha has a one called the Roketa MC-54-250, not exactly the best name, but a good set of wheels nonetheless. They say it tops out at 85 mph and is priced around $2000.

The price of gas is a killer. If you live in a climate that allows it, you should really take a look at a scooter. Just think, they start at about $2000 – $3000, you can get close to 100 mpg on some of them, and they actually go fast if you need them to. There is no better deal out there.

Go to the manufacturer’s website (or dealership) and look for these numbers: wet weight (or dry weight) and GVWR. Wet weight is how much the bike weighs when it’s full of gas, dry weight is how much the bike weighs when there are no fluids. GVWR is the gross vehicle weight rating, which is the maximum amount the bike’s tires/suspension/brakes can handle.
If you take the GVWR number and subtract the wet weight number, that will tell you the maximum weight capacity, or payload, for that particular bike.
Under no circumstances should you ever exceed the GVWR for any vehicle.

When you think powersports, you think motorcycles. Everybody seems to define power sports differently. Some even include go-karts in their list of powersport vehicles, while purists limit it to motorbikes. Google power sports distributor and you’re likely to find that most of them are motorcycle dealers, so for purposes of this review, we’ll stick with the bikes.

It was no surprise when we learned that the brands were all fighting for top spot on the search engines. We found Honda and Yamaha at the top of the pile, followed closely by Suzuki.

That was all fine, but since we are novices, we wanted to find an outlet that sold several brands. That’s because we wanted to get more or less objective reviews of the many brands of motorcycles there are on the market. We weren’t going to get one from a brand name, but we might from a company who distributed several.

We weren’t even dreaming of getting all our answers from the one source, but we though we could at least get an overview of many that the first time powersports motorcycle buyer might want to consider purchasing. As it turns out, there were very few of these to choose from and those that did have many brands to look at were targeting an already power sports savvy market.

Since we are not an affiliate marketer and don’t want to sound like one, we’re going to leave out the url and name of the only power sports distributor that we found that came close to meeting our criteria. We only do that if we have several for our readers to choose from.

Figuring that novices would be starting out with a 250cc motorbike, we looked for those first. This site had quite a few to choose from. There were three for under three thousand bucks. The cheapest of these was a Honda Rebel for alittle less than $2500 Next up the price scale was a Hyosung and a Suzuki. The site didn’t have an engine size category and to our mind, that was a big drawback.

Considering that this was the only distribution company we could find that sold a wide range of motorcycles, it was amazing how poorly put together it was. Even their price range category list was limited. We had seen these inexpensive 250cc bikes on page one of their website, but when we wanted to compare them to other bikes in the same price range, the closest we could find was “under $10,000.” That’s a big spread!

They sold used motorcycles at this site. This was a big plus, but that too was a disappointment, because they didn’t give you any real guidelines to go on other than year of manufacture. After that you could narrow it down some more, but not enough to do a decent comparison unless you already knew what you were looking for.

Frankly, our search for a power sports distributor was disappointing. You would think that the competition for such relatively big ticket items as powersports motorcycles would be fierce, but you wouldn’t know it from what we saw. A good site that gave solid information to first time buyers could corner the market. We’ll help you design it if you give us a free powersports motorbike in exchange!

Purchase that new toy by getting a ATV. Find the best deals you can on aScooter. Find them online now and shop for that best deal.

i have obtained a mobility scooter for my personnal use as i need to get around more, the top speed is 8mph. I am informed that the minimum speed should be at least 10mph to use it on the road 4mph on footpaths. How do people manage in rural districts where there are no such things as footpaths?

looking to make a scooter purchase and have narrowed my choices to these two bikes. i know of vespa’s history and quality but not much on the other.
