Hey, how ya'll doing? As you can see by my user name, I drive a truck,
and I am looking for my first scooter. I have been doing a lot of research and it's been a fun learning experience. I know I want a scooter than can
get up and go. I like pep. I don't have any interest in riding on the freeways, however. I want something that can maintain 50 MPH on moderate hills. I am thinking a 150-200 is my perfect engine size.
I test-drove the 09 Genuine Buddy 150 and loveed it. It is so small and fun,
quick too. I also loved the Sym 200 HD. I would chose the SYM 200 HD over
the People S200 because of the SYMs higher horsepower. I would chose the
Aprilia Scarabeo 200 over the SYM 200 HD because the former has
liquid cooled technology, and a more impressive name brand. (better engine?) I recently stumbled upon a new entry: the Vespa GT200L. There is one for sale
by a private seller for $3500. It is a 2006 with 1200 miles on it (it also has "stabilizer bars" installed on it ??) How
does the GT200L match up with other 150-200 scooters? Are there any better choices
than the GT200L within my engine range? I dont' want to spend anymore than $3500, though. I will buy new or used, depending on circumstances. Your help is much apprecited.
