 Hello Zackie here. I am new to the site and new to scootz. As I don't even have a scootie yet would love to get one but don't know even how to start looking hehe. What i'm looking for is 50cc that i can if i want build up quite for fun mainly hehe. I will be riding around the city mainly flat and sometimes (pretty rarely) grass/dirt roads. (suspension isn't really much of an issue for me as it is for the Scootzie) On a budget to o so something i'd be shooting for would be around 1500 or so, so not looking for new really unless its a good deal... I am 5'11' or so and about 165lbs give or take. I do like pep a lot. I would like to be able to go 40+ with a good punch heh. Styles don't matter much at all. Just pretty much a peppy fun scooter that can take abuse (not to much though) and that i can slap some stellar mods on to.  Thanks in advance and yo! Zackie...

$1500 will get ya a lot more than a 50cc, unless youre trying to skirt ins and licence.
Get at least a 150 or 250
A good used Honda would be best.
But, if you like tinkering check out what others are gonna suggest
I'm biased so dont listen to me

Screw that all take any advise! hehe.. Yeah wouldn't mind not getting any body involved in my riding around how i want to ride other than me. 50 cc would be the Eye goal but wouldn't mind pushin it to a 80cc or something.  1500 is just my Top Limits so i could get a Scoot for 900 and put a few Bills into more pep and what haves  |

50's are too slow unless you put some mods on it. Get a 150 (o)

(Street Legal) The main Speed Limit around my Area is 45mp (all in Springfield MO) So i don't need to go 50+ all the time. I would just like to be able to keep up with traffic and move through and around and all that jazz. ;D I do plan on Moding it out a bit as i have access to a bike shop |

Wouldn't mind increasing CC's if at all possible on what ever i decide to get. But 49cc/50 would have to be what it would have to be and not "BE" at the same time. Make sense? If i have to get Insur and "ID" then i'd just get a Sport Bike/Cafe Cruiser .  |

Very cool! Wouldn't mind something not crazy loud too! but i guess that intake/engine/exhaust related. Just looking for a Juicy Ratty Scooter that has cheap part around easy to work on and runs strong. I plan on having it for a while as main source of ...scooting around town...But will not be main source of trans.

Hmmm I've looked at some reviews but what can you tell me about the base feel of this Scoot? Take off Top End handling its breaking points all of that. Looking for something that wont just break a part after a week or two of riding all over. I do like to have fun with my toys... Keep that in mind lol.
