I had this discussion elsewhere on the virtues of a Suzuki GW-250 ($4000) vs. a Vespa GT300 ($7000+). It mainly comes down to this. If you want a scooter, a bike isn't on your radar screen. If you want a bike, you buy a bike. A scooter isn't on your radar.

Not to start a riot but it comes down to, do you like to shift or not, are you into the feeling each gives you and what kind of person do you see yourself as? Based on those things you buy what makes you feel good not on what it costs.
