Which to get? 200cc Enduro or 150cc Scooter
Got my mind wrapped around the idea of a gas saving cycle. Just can't decide on which one to get. A 200cc Enduro with road tires installed or a 150cc (maybe 250cc) scooter. Already have my motorcycle license. Whatever's bought will be licensed and titled as such. Don't want a full sized cycle. Only looking to spend @$1500. Found 2 - 3 suitable matches.
First is a 150cc scooter that is bigger and looks comfortable enough to seat 2. Top speed with 2 may only be 50-60 mph. Possibly 60-65 mph with just me at 160lbs. May need it to go faster depending on where I drive it to such as the interstate or highway. Just gas and brake, no shifting. $1595
Second is a 200cc Enduro. Has road tires on instead of nobbies. Sits up higher with taller tires and a bigger suspension. Could seat 2. Top speed with 2 people, 70-75 mph. With just me 80. Has a hand clutch and the foot gear selector. Like the idea of being able to switch gears as needed. $1500
Third is a 150cc scooter that's smaller and not as 2 person friendly. Suits me fine and I'm sure 60mph should be obtainable. Price is right at $995.
MPG is important as I'm trying to go on a gas diet. Top speed is important but not critical. Don't want to get ran over going slow. May only occationally need 60-65 mph speeds on the interstate for short distances. Most speeds will be 45-50 mph for my work commute. So, which to get? Will let you all know which I get and some pics.
