Wanting to try something different, always had motorcycles -never really had a scooter except for a few project/fixers that I didn't hold onto for long, like that Elite 150 years ago. Mainly looking for city/around town- BUT need ability to jump on the interstate for upto 5-10 miles, or more.
Scooter gets significant bonus points for hauling capacity- both "groceries" AND passengers-scooters have much better passenger comfort (under ~200cc range).
Of course a Craig Vetter style Ninja could have quite the hauling/storage capacity.. and if I found a GREAT deal on a honda cbr250r or sym wolf 150cc (or new-ish 200cc, a few different brands have recent models) - I might not be able to resist
I don't think I would get an automatic motorcycle, personally the argument towards scooter is not about shifting. Nothing against automatics, I'm sure they have a place- I just haven't been too impressed w/ examples I've experienced so far = vintage 400cc hondamatic or a newer Chinese cheapo-125-'sportsbike'
