In Chicago a 49cc can be parked in more areas and I think insurance is less costly.

Is the 49cc akin to just farting while riding your bike??!
I like the looks of the Stella better....and I'm a long warranty kind of person. But that's just me. STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLAAAAAAAAA!

P_C, you're looking at a domestically refurbished Vespa, right? Not one of the Vietnamese ones that Saigon (IIRC) warned against.

For my work commute though, I need to get either up and down Manchester, or Chippewa/Gravois. I need some semlence of power and top speed to not get ran over.Michael wrote:In Chicago a 49cc can be parked in more areas and I think insurance is less stringent.

I think you should look into getting a H2.

The factory is overseas, but here's their process, and their quality control.TabascoElvis wrote:P_C, you're looking at a domestically refurbished Vespa, right? Not one of the Vietnamese ones that Saigon (IIRC) warned against.

Re: Hipster dilemma--What scooter should P_C get?
I'd never drive or own an H2 for a myriad of reasons (primarily the cost and the fact that I have no need for something like an H2). But if I did have one, I'd make a soft-top for it out of squirrel, raccoon, and fuzzy animal pelts. If you're going to go in, go ALL in.GatewaySnayke wrote:I think you should look into getting a H2.

I think I actually like the look of the first scooter better.
