    Hi all,

    Ive been meaning to get a scooter for a few years now and heed some advise on where to go, what to look out for etc. I really would prefer a secondhand model in around the 1,000 - 1,300 mark. Ive looked around online and the styles I like are the

    VMoto Milan
    Vespa LX 50

    Anyone offer me some advise please.

    Many thanks

    O

    Get a common one, so parts etc are easy to come by

    Don't carry people on the back often cos it wears don't the scooter tons

    You need a full licence to carry a passenger legally, doesn't sound like the OP has one, now does it!

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Certainly not. But I wouldn't like any newcomer here to get the idea it's ok, or tolerated. It puts up the price of my insurance, and yours.

    Dragster 125 is sloow and heavy, why not buy a vespa PX200 with 4 gears and sit your Full "A" test on that and pass!
