If you're able to break 60 mph on a scooter that only weighs 220, that's got to feel pretty fast right? Or do you feel like man, I wish this thing had another 15 mph in it? And as far as stop and go driving goes, it sucks in a car because it's a lot of wasted energy and wear and tear on the car. But on a scooter you probably don't mind stop and go traffic as much. It's probably fun getting to accelerate. Again, I'm only asking this because the 150 won't be taken on freeways.
Well, my 150cc is perfect for my commute, about 8 miles to work for me. It costs me about $6 a week to get to work in the summer. Been scooting to work for 5 years now. Not for freeway, highway ok. I only think about getting something like a 250cc when I get the cruise bug in me. More recreational, more distance, more power. I can travel at 55mph comfortably. Most of the roads I ride to work are 45mph. The 50cc I rode for 1 year, was not as comfortable around agressive drivers as the 150. Need Motorcycle endorsement, but worth the extra effort if you don't have it yet. Interesting mod/retro cross design on that scooter.
