I see I'm not the only one looking at scooters. Are you doubting thomas?
The Ninja 250 is about $3500-$4000. The scooter is about $5000-$6000
I would definitely chose the sport bike......for cheaper and better looks IMHO. A guy I work with bought this exact scooter. I was like![]()

I'm thinking about a purchase like this too. I'm actually leaning towards getting a bike.
That Vespa for 5K??? wow, I thought I saw other brands at Alamo Cycle Plex for less than that, for 5K you could get a bigger bike I assume. I really just started looking at this stuff so I'm no expert by any means![]()
Vespas are like the Benz of scooters......you can get others for less. Also, I personally would only want a 250cc bike for my needs. Great gas mileage and not overkill on speed. It still looks good as well.
I have a feeling we'll be see more scooters and the roads in the months ahead. I've already noticed a few around Converse.
do they both get the same gas mileage? because with the price of gas i don't care what it looks like as long as it gets some bad ass gas mileage.
Joe thats inevitable. Those scooters get like 115 MPG so that got my attention seriously. Motorcylces I don't really know how much they do, but I'm all ears and just started looking around at this.
Yep, 70-80mpg......they both have the same size motor. 250cc
For some reason the Ninja is much faster though. The scooter tops out at 80, the Ninja tops out 120-130
70-80 mpg. damn I am seriously thinking this would be a good move with gas prices how they are. think i might be doing some research on which bike to get
what do regular bikes get? They don't get that good mileage?
If its between that style of bike like that Ninja up there or the scooter I'll go with a scooter.
The ONLY way its really a good move is if your car is already paid off.......and use the money selling it for the bike. To either purchase the bike right off the bat, or start over on financing......it would take years to make up the difference in cash spent on gas vs the purchace.
Depends on what style you like......I think the scooter looks dorky. LOL![]()
Brother, where I live going back and forth at 115 MPG would be a huge difference. I looked at these things and I don't like the style of bike of the Ninja
I do like this style, a Honda Nighthawk but I really don't know much about it. I looked at them at the Cycle plex but in a hurry.

For that price range and engine size? Vespa.
And it isn't even close.
get one of these!
scooters are for sweetchucks! wats wrong wit you!!!
how much is that monstrosity? , I may just plunk down the money and buy a Prius.![]()
Hugh?!!!......to each his own I guess.........Im completely opposite. For looks, PRICE savings for sure and the SAME engine size.......Ninja.![]()
Scooters are great…Until a friend sees you on one…
Dudes need to straddle something as well.........you sit like a on a scooter.
Might as well get the Vespa, because this may well be the gayest thing I've ever seen written here.
Gay would be seeing YOU on that scooter.![]()
I don't think they typically have that effect on women.
..................Cucking, I had no idea. No wonder you went with the scooter. I honestly couldnt see you on the Ninja now.
