I realize this is a motorcycle forum. My first experience with scooters was renting a couple of those 50cc scooters on a vacation in Boone, NC. Then we started renting them on most of our vacations. Then, my wife bought a 150cc scooter (she had ankle damage/surgery and can't work a manual shifter) and I started riding it more and more. Enough that I bought one for myself (Big Ruckus). It'll never replace my motorcycle, but they have their place. On the ass end of a motorhome is one.
Now, it'll in no way compete with a KLR (which I would like to have - and I already know how to do the doohickey mod), but for scootin' around the campground or a quick run into town, that KLR would be overkill. Especially for someone with little or no 2 wheel experience.
Now, don't confuse the scooters I'm talking about with those little smokers running around Asheville. Those are mainly the little 50cc/DWI scooters and they need to stay downtown. But some of these things have enough power to go anywhere and the handling to keep up.

And who is this Beiber fellow you speak of?
