Looking to ditch that gas hog of a car and pick up an economical motor scooter? You're going to return home with a model that will do nothing more than collect dust in your carport unless you follow a few simple guidelines.
Power
Motor scooters can come in a wide selection of shapes and sizes, from small, toy-like scooters to large motorcycle-like scooters. Consider your needs and how you'll be using the scooter. If it's just for corner jaunts, there are any number of small, cheap scooters that would fit the bill. Perhaps a 125 or 150 would be the largest to consider.
Fit
Many scooter shoppers choose a style, rather than purchasing a fit. This is the surest way to ensure a wasted investment. Fit becomes increasingly important as mileage increases and is one of the primary determinants of safety, so don't ignore it!
Ensure that your hands are in a good, comfortable position when riding, and that the controls, brakes, and clutch are well within reach. Finally, check the seat. While soft seats seem to be more comfortable at first, they usually result in soreness faster than firmer seats.
Style
Check out various models online before you head into a showroom where sales pressure will often result in you leaving with something you would not have purchased without pressure. There are plenty of new, sleek models, but you'll also find a wide variety of vintage models for sale.
Price
Similar to cars, motor scooters depreciate in value immediately upon leaving the lot. Exacerbating this situation is that scooters usually don't receive the same amount of yearly mileage as cars or even motorcycles, so the immediate depreciation is a harder hit. In a year, you could see a 25 percent or more decrease in resale value for a scooter that has barely been touched.
For this reason, be sure to look at more than just local dealers. There are several good resellers online who will provide you with a good selection at good prices. And you can find these motors scooters without putting up with pushy salesmen!
So remember, before you got to your local showroom and buy that flashy new model, be sure that you're clear on how you intend to use your new scooter, and then consider the power, style, fit, and cost.

When you consider the quality and reputation of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters receive much less publicity than some of the more favored names like Lambrettas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their vintage chic appeal, but for anyone looking to buy a modern scooter, it's tough to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:
1) Suzuki scooters are economical to both purchase and maintain
My initial experience with Suzuki was a dirt bike back in the 80's. It ran flawlessly, was gorgeous, and was one of the most economical bikes available, taking into account the craftsmanship of the bike. Suzuki's motor scooters are similar: you get a lot of value for your dollar.
2) They are economical to operate
Depending on the engine size you purchase, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the ones that rival motorcycles) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly fuel efficient.
3) They are expertly crafted
Suzuki scooters are built to the utmost standards of reliability, and are respected for their smooth operation, straightforward clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the convenience of a smooth clutch system, especially for new riders who might be easily distracted!
4) They are safe
Along with their excellent engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might take for granted. As an example, most Suzuki scooters have an advanced suspension system. Think that's there for comfort? If so, you'd be partially correct. It's there for both comfort and safety. By keeping the scooter wobble to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is increased.
5) There is a wide selection
Whether you're considering a small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model to fit your needs. For neighborhood riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all the power you need. But you can upgrade to a 450cc model for around $6,000, and move all the way up to a 650cc for around $9,000.
Like their full-size counterparts, Suzuki scooters are known for their characteristics of performance and reliability. If you're looking for a premium scooter at a great price, be sure to investigate a Suzuki. When you begin price shopping, you'll find that there is also a thriving second hand scooter market, so do your due diligence before purchasing!
Note: I am NOT a representative of Suzuki -- just a loyal customer who likes Suzuki's fun and cool scooters.

Help me decide a good scooter. Here's the parameters; big engine (250cc), off road capabilities and overall quality. I think that's about it.
I'd like to get a moped rugged enough to take off the beaten path from time to time. Something with up to a 250 cc engine, in the spirit of Honda Big Ruckus. Anymore suggestions?
Well first off - a moped is not going to be worth a crap off road.
The tires are to small, and when you get in sand you will fall.
Best bet is a used dirt bike. 250cc or bigger
Yamaha
Kawasaki
Honda
KTM
etc.....
