Im looking at getting 150cc scooter i bought a 50 cc a year ago but the roads on my way to work reach 35 to 40 and i would barley hit 30, so it felt dangerous when cars would speed past me, so i want something quicker so i sold it,

just wondering what scooters you guys have, where you bought it, how much, and if youve had any problems

ive been looking at the lance powersports either the f4 interceptor, or the gsr150

not looking to pay more than 1800 with shipping

I've had a Kymco People S200 (

http://www.kymcousa.com/showroom/sco...200/index.html ) that i've gone about 3000 miles on. I've had absolutely no problems and it holds up very well with traffic. This particular scooter has a top speed of about 70mph but goes 65 comfortably. I've had a few scooters before this Kymco one and my advice is to absolutely stay way from Chinese manufacturers. Nearly all of them mix and match their parts and the scooters generally have terrible worksmanship. Moreso, if any parts need to be replaced, it becomes ridiculously difficult to find the proper replacement parts. The companies that make reliable scooters are Yamaha, Honda, Vespa, and Kymco. Although other riders may talk about how their chinese made scooter is holding up, i'd highly recommend sticking with those companies. However, the Chinese scooters are about half the price and therefore they are very enticing. So I recommend that if you do go with any of the off-brand companies, be sure to purchase it from a location that will be willing to honor the warranty on it.

Id suggest spending a little more money and buying a Yamaha or Honda. Those little Korean/Chinese scooters are cheap and wont hold up nearly as well as a Yamaha/Honda will.
Id strongly recommend the Yamaha Vino 125 or Zuma 125.

I too would go with a bigger company along the lines of Yamaha and Honda, Suzuki might even have a gas scooter. But I havent personally had any experience with scooters but have had 13 years of dirtbikes.

Those are both definitely solid scooters.

I also did a little looking around and I believe that those "Lance" scooters are made buy a Chinese company that goes by the name Znen ( http://znenusa.com/ ). A typical thing that companies do in America is import the scooters for a cheap price, and then just slap on whatever name they want. You can go with that company...the scooter will technically work. However, it will likely be prone to breaking down. Also, finding parts for them will likely be very difficult. If you are in need of a scooter and purchasing a $3200 scooter is out of the question, be sure that the seller will honor the warranty for both parts and labor.

Yea definitely. At least in Florida, you need a motorcycle endorsement to ride anything over 50cc anyways. But if buying a motorcycle isn't out of the question and you have some time to save up...you'd have much better time with the better motorcycle. A scooter certainly isn't just a smaller version of a motorcycle. Aside from speed and acceleration, there are very clear handling and other performance features that'll make the riding experience notably safer and more fun.

I think you're talking about the FZ6R....either way...i'd take any new starter bike over any scooter.
