Probably the best 50cc scooter made, and actually has enough performance over the competition to be less of a sitting duck in traffic. Once again, it's not just size or style - as I've discovered, you're really talking apples and oranges despite both having two wheels, a motor and handlebars. And I'm finding out the scooter is the better commuter.
