also, bad news. If you are thinking of getting a bigger scooter, I am being told that new Chinese scooters 200cc and bigger will not be available in the states again for a few months at least. something about government crap, i think they said. so I'm either going to have to get a 150 scooter or a larger motorcycle that I have to shift gears on. such a distraction.

but yeah, i don't think you'll be able to upgrade to a bigger (new, Chinese) scooter any time soon. :(

If you've been riding as long as I have , shifting gears is NO distraction! It is automatic I'm 73 & been riding since the age of 15. Irish

P.S. My only problem is that everything that I rode was right hand shift. It's a BITCH doing everything that is opposite to you! You automatically hit the shifter in an emergency stop.
