A scooter line / manufacturer that is poised for a favorable 2009 is Tank scooters. While they are far from the largest or most popular motor scooter line, they are small enough to be nimble, and have adopted lean manufacturing and management principles. So while Tank scooters might not make the most money in 2009, they should weather the economic storm better than most. Tank scooters are not available from the manufacturer -- so you'll need to find a local dealer or visit our partner outlet store to find a good preowned Tank scooter.
