Title: Almost traded the scoot in for a motorcycle...
Post by: bleys on August 18, 2015, 11:14:19 PM
So I have had my XC250 for 4 years now and have had the itch to get something a little bigger, but did not want anything heavy.  I checked out the local shops and found a Suzuki S50 and a Hyosung GV650.  Test drove both....weight was within 50 lbs of the scoot and handling was okay.  Liked them both, but then the shop could not get the GV650 ready within 2 weeks - apparently a lot of repairs needed.  As for the Suzuki, they were low-balling me on my scooter.  By the time I added a windscreen, I would still had a bike less capable than my scoot for commuting (i.e. storage, weather protection, and gas savings).  I would have gained better speed for the highway, but that was about the only positive.  In the end, I decided to stay with the scoot.  Now two weeks later, I'm not regretting it a bit.

Id love to get a small cycle but have no place to winter store it.

I wouldn't drive it on Connecticut highways though.
