I met a retired doctor who is 83 years old. He bought a Yamaha Vino 50 cc off Craigslist for about $800 with less than 1,000 miles. He knows nothing at all about it other than it works and works and works and gets nearly 100 mpg. He is the guy who got me thinking that I should get a scooter too.
I second this with one proviso. You might also look at scooters from Taiwan like Kymco or SYM. You might be able to pick up a more current model and the parts will be slightly cheaper if any are needed. These companies build amazingly reliable scooters on improved GY6 technology.
