Rereading your original post you mentioned the 250cc scooter. The weather protection and built in storage bdesj mentioned about scooters is a plus. Riding more because it's more comfortable helps maximize the use of your choice.

The downside with scooters though is gearing is fixed. The Dual Purpose bikes, being chain driven, can usually be re-geared taller for improved highway performance and even better mileage. You can also always add a windshield and a rear trunk to a dual purpose bike.
