Have you ever thought about getting cycle for getting around town? If your first thought is to get a motorcycle, you're not alone. Riding a motorcycle is most definitely the "in" thing to do these days.
Riding a motorcycle is possibly one of the most pleasurable means of transportation. Getting on the motorcycle and hitting the road is like an instant vacation. The sun on your face and the wind at your back, your troubles seem to be a thing of the past. It's about the closest you'll get to heaven on earth. There's just something about being in the open air. You're closer and more in touch with nature and other people when you're riding a motorcycle. You often take the back roads, explore new paths and enjoy the day to the fullest.
Owning a motorcycle is also much less expensive than driving a car. Regardless what kind of car you drive, at the current prices, the fuel savings is significant. On the down side, motorcycles can be pricey, with some costing more than some cars. Would you ever consider a scooter instead? Scooters are a subclass of motorcycles with a different design and wheel width. They share many of the same benefits. They're not considered to be as "macho" and if you're the Harley or Gold Wing type, you're probably laughing by now.
Consider some of the benefits before you totally write off the idea of a scooter. First, they're just as much fun to ride as a motorcycle, just different. Scooters cost much less than most motorcycles, making them very affordable. You'll be able to select from many sizes and models. Finding the one that fits your style and pocketbook will not be a problem.
If you'll be taking long rides or driving on freeways, you'll want to consider a larger, more powerful scooter. If you want the extra power, there are plenty of scooter to choose from to meet your needs. A smaller scooter may be just what you want if you'll be traveling short distances in light traffic. The smaller scooters sometimes don't require a special driver's license, depending on the state. Check the regulations in your state to be certain.
Scooters can be easier to drive as well. There is no need to shift gears, as scooters have automatic engines. Getting on and off the scooter is also easier for most. There is usually storage under the seat and room for a storage container in the back as well, so there's plenty of room to pack your gear.
You will have noticed the difference in how people react to you if you've had the opportunity to ride both a motorcycle and a scooter. For some reason, even though it's probably the furthest thing from the truth, many people think of a motorcyclist as being "tough" and are sometimes intimidated by them.People react differently to a scooter rider. People generally break out in a smile and wave. Somehow, the difference in reactions doesn't seem right, but that's how it is.
All states have laws governing insurance for scooters. All motor driven cycles in most states require liability insurance for bodily injury and property damage.Scooters must carry the minimum legally mandatory liability insurance and be registered and titled.
