Motorbikes are 100 times more popular than scooters for a ride out of town.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

Fat old men ride motorbikes. You know it's true.

So do skinny young ones and even women! Just do it. I started off on a scooter. Have a bike now. Do I miss the scooter? Yes if its license kurfew and I want to have another beer and hang out for another 2 hours or if I'm lazy and just need to go to the shops. Most other times I grab the bike.

Scooters are ok round town, and can be fun on the open road, if your not wanting speed. Go with whatever you want, and enjoy.

But, it's still classified as a scooter...That's a bike with scooter clothes on.
There are a number of scooters which are more than capable of maintaining open road speeds and exceeding them...

This class of scooters is too much of a compromise. Around town something small and light is better. On the open road while they may cruise at the posted limits they are not much fun and heavy compared to comparable bikes.
Best Frenemy you could have!
I was given a loaner Gilera 150 2 stroke thing while my bike was in for service. It was likely extremely optimistic, but I had an indicated 130 on the clock.... from a 150 with me on it

Sadly the bikers with attitude like to hang around with nothing better to do than disparage scooters. I love scooters for scootering, and bikes for biking. Whatever floats your boat is fine and this forum should be free of bikers who don't feel the same, please.
Insert witticism.

I love bashing scooters as much as the next biker. Why deprive me of the simple pleasures in my life?

I was reading a bike mag on Friday, has a special on scooters. They made a very apt point. To a non biker, motorbikes are scary.
Our clutch is what lever? What foot changes gear? In what direction? Why doesn't it fall over?
A scooter is simple, it's twist and go, it's not scary and very acceptable to utilise for commuting. Once someone gets a scooter, they will either just carry on using it to save pennies and time commuting, or they will enjoy the freedom, get curious about motorbikes and want more power. Plenty of peoples first experience on 2 wheels is on a scooter.
Not everyone grew up with a family member who rides/rode, or got a motorbike as a child. Scooters allow a taste of 2 wheels for the masses who may be tentative of motorcycling. More people getting into motorbikes means larger voter base of motorcyclists, bigger market of bikes and a more motorcycle aware population.
I used to have a giggle at scooters, now I give them a wave and a smile. Scooters grow up to be big boy bikes too!
