I just looked up the laws here and it seems like they are the same.

I own a Honda SH 125 because Geneva is a horrible city to drive in with a car, no place to park it. A scooter is great for Europeans cities because you can park anywhere.

With 6 liters, I can drive about 200 km, the tank is about 7.5 liters. The main problem with scooters is the maintenance. For a 125cc, you have to go every 4,000 km and sometimes it can be expensive (last time I paid 750$ but they did a lot). Rear tire must be changed after 10,000 to 12,000 km, but they're not too expensive (around 70$). You should not skip maintenance because a scooter really needs it regularly if you want to avoid problems.

Honda are said to be the best scooters, that's why I bought one. I have driven 50,000km in 5 years and it's still good, no breakdown even though I fell 3 times with it in winter due to icy roads. Honda is really good stuff except that it's all plastic body which is cheap but the engine is top.

Good luck.

What are you gonna do when it rains?

Not to sound stupid, but wear a jacket. I will use a car if I have to, but I would use my scooter/two wheeler as my main transportation.

Cut to the chase, gas is going to kill me this summer so I am considering getting a cheap scooter, like this here http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/601470519.html. Will I really save money with a scooter as most of my driving will be me alone, and usually within a 30 or 40 mile radius of my house. Would it be worth my time and resources to get a scooter/moped?

150cc is considered moped over there?
Here moped/scooter is 50cc...125cc requires a motor license
