I need all the information about motor scooters?

I am 16 and i really want to buy a motor scooter… preferebly a vespa. i wouldnt mind a honda metropolitain. i know i cant get my motorcycle liscence untill later but i am apparantly allowed to drive one (in nj) if it is 49cc or less.
i dont know much about how and where to buy it, a reasonable price, or rather anything. anyone know a really good site with the more vintage looking european-style scooters for not a ridiculous price? thanksss

They are all going to be fairly expensive. You did not give a price range. I would suggest looking for a used one in your local paper or craigslist. Just ride it awhile and sell it when you are ready to move up to something bigger.

  2. Get all the information you can before you buy a scooter/moped. There is a book out called, The Complete Idiots Guide to Motor Scooters. Don't let the name of the book put you off because there is a lot of good information inside that may help you decide which one and where to buy.
    Good Luck
    Ride Safe

  3. A vespa or honda metropolitan are basically the same scooter as any no name. I would look in the paper for a local scooter dealer and you can get a brand new no name scooter that look just as good or better for around $500 here in PA. You can buy used low milleage 49cc's for anywhere around $300

    Check your regional craigslist > for sale > motorcycles for used moped values.
