And non-scooter owners who wanna get in on the opinion action, please feel free.

I stopped by the bike store down the street at lunch and they have a Kymco People 250: http://www.strmotorsports.com/showroom/scooters/people250/index.html  I want to get a mid-sized scoot that can handle the highway and they had one of these.  Any other thoughts/ideas?  They won't let me test drive anything.  Anything AMERICAN I could get (please do not suggest a Harley unless they make a scooter)?  Considerations in buying?  I found this: http://www.bike2go.com/2007-BALI-MC-13-250-250cc-Luxury-Moped-with-Comfortable-Foam-Ergonomic-Seat12-aluminium-rim-Free-Shipping-p-305-fn-6.html  I'm not confuzed yet but I can tell I soon will be.

Why a scooter you ask?  Because I'm afraid if I get a real motorcycle I'll end up dead or in jail - I like to go fast and I think the scooter will curb that a bit.  They're more comfortable and easier in my old age as well.
