Damn its hard to find a cheap scooter in this town!!! anytime I see one in the paper for cheap it sells the first day.

The only thing can say is you can buy an old rental scooter from SG Power on Hillside road for $800. but be carefull, a 5 year old rental has as much wear and tear as a 10 year old scooter. - Tue, 25 May 2004 3:52pm

if it's a standard 50cc or under moped or scooter you'll be good with a regular license. - Thu, 27 May 2004 4:56am

My scooter costs $150 a year to insure. if it 50cc or less engine you can ride it with a regular drivers licence, if its over 50cc than you need a motorcycle licence. For this reason most companies stopped making scooters over 50cc's 15 years ago. Getting a motorcycle licence is a pain in the ass. - Thu, 27 May 2004 3:16pm

Ah, Legally for the 100 one needs a class five licence, but it's too small to interest the olde slow po, so I've got away with riding it illegally for over a year now, it's not too much money to get a class five though, and insurance is still only like $100 a year, for a price, gee, I don't know... make an offer; what you want to spend. Cheers. - Thu, 27 May 2004 3:40pm

you can drivew anything 50cc's and under with a class seven n. and insurance will cost you around 175-200. you might pay 500-1000 for a used scooter. and mopeds are hard to come by. - Thu, 27 May 2004 4:35pm

From what I recall if you get caught doing anything illegal when you have the "N" you lose your licence for 2 years. I agree most cops have no idea which scooters are 50cc and which are bigger but it is written on thew registration papers and if they pull you over you could be fucked. I would ride the 100cc without the proper licence but I'd only get a fine if I get caught. You, however, have more to risk. - Fri, 28 May 2004 5:33am

Yeah, looking for a bit more than that for the 100, but for cheaper you could pick up my 750cc Suzuki GS in parts, every thing is there, no title, might be hot, haven't looked for numbers... Cheers, Jimmy - Sun, 30 May 2004 12:26pm

Is that 100cc scooter 2 stroke or 4 stroke and what year is it?

I know a guy who might be interested. - Sun, 30 May 2004 1:09pm

It's a two-stroke, but with oil injection, so the benefit of more power and sounding like a chain-saw on steroids, without having to measure oil and mix. It's a '78, 34,000 kilometers, but honestly, dead reliable, it's a two stroke so there's only so much that can go wrong. Cheers! - Mon, 31 May 2004 4:03pm

A scooter is like a fat chick... it's only fun until your friends see you riding one.
