My first dirt bike. (I sound like one of the other answerers to another of your questions) Anyway, enough with the old fart stories. You have to admit that pressing a 35-year old bike, especially an air-cooled 2-stroke, into daily service might be asking a bit too much of it, regular wear items, for instance, might be a little hard to find. (Though with cdi ignition and autolube there aren't that many regular wear items. Even the spark plugs in these old 2 strokes seem to last much longer with today's unleaded fuel and synthetic 2-stroke oils.) You'll also find that the brakes were designed for another era, when there weren't so many soccer moms in suvs ready to swerve into your path... Maybe I'm just telling you this so that I can go on craiglist and buy this bike myself... The Honda scooter, on the other hand, is not very exciting but completely adequate.<br><b>References : </b><br> I'd love to get my hands on a mint 1973 f7, I dreamed of this bike when I was a kid, but I had to wait several years before I could get my hands on its little brother a blue G5 100cc.

It might simply come down to how tall you are - can you touch the ground with both feet on the Kawasaki? Myself, I'd go for the scooter 'cos you'll have more cash left.<br><b>References : </b><br> Commute = scooter, but the Kawasaki will open up a whole new world if you decide to try off-road, and that would be cool too.
