Hello, everyone. I will be buying my first scooter soon, so I have lots of questions about brands, dealers, difficult repairs, etc. Hopefully I'll be around for a long time to come and I look forward to meeting each of you. I don't know much about this subject, so any knowledge you can share will be much appreciated.  |

[replyingto=scott]scott[/replyingto]Welcome aboard, Scott! I can't possibly get into all the brands here because there are just so many to choose from and it all depends on what you're looking for. I myself ride a Bashan Peace Sports, but I hear Puma cycles are top knotch when it comes to Chinese. Kymco is another good one. If you don't want Chinese then Tomos, Vespa (obviously), Aprilia, etc. are all good brands. The guys are saying my old thread is full of good info so you might want to check it out: itistheride.boards.net/index.cgi?board=50ac&action=display&thread=2223 Do you plan on getting your motorcycle license and getting a 150cc? Unless you want to do a lot of performance tweaks to a 50cc then that's the route I'd recommend. Good luck!  |

[replyingto=lykos23]lykos23[/replyingto]Yes, I'm going to buy a 150cc. I live in Mississippi and I don't think it's hard to get a motorcycle license here. I'll have to take a written test and a short driving test. Not much to it.
I looked at a Kymco at one of the dealers here and I would have bought it, but I couldn't get financing, even with a good down payment. It's difficult to get a loan nowadays anyway, and I've never financed anything before.
I'm so looking forward to getting my new scoot. I'm more excited about this than I've been about anything in a long time.
Thanks for the link. There's a ton of good information in there. I know it's going to come in handy. I've been reading as much as I can on the subject, but still have lots to learn. Thanks for the welcome.

[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]Will do. You'll probably get sick of hearing me talk about it before it's all over with.
