Scooter buyers guide?

Hello.

I want to buy a scooter, for the first time. I have a NSW riders
license and used to have a motorcycle about 12 years ago.

Is there a "Scooter Buyer Guide"? If yes, what is the internet
address?

Any other suggestions for buying a scooter?

How much would I be looking at paying for a new, 125cc scooter in
Sydney & Newcastle?

What scooter brand and model has the biggest CC's? Is it available in
Sydney & Newcastle?

Cheers,

Noodle.

 

Don't buy a scooter, buy my bike

I saw a scooter mag at the newsagent today (when I was getting the
lastest Roadrider mag). I had a quick flick through. Seemed ok.
Probably a good place to start.

I understand you are just trying to be helpful, but I need at least a
NAME of this mag, or a LOCATION of the newsagent where you saw this
mag.

By itself, that info above doesn't help me unfortunately

actually, that wasnt a bad tip, go to your local newsagent and look for a
scooter mag. There is only one that I have noticed lately, put out by
TwoWheels. called twowheels scooter. the first one was recently being given
away with the latest twowheels, but they are up to issue seven now..

what ? you cant get off ya lzy arse and go to your local newsagent ??

IIRC twowheels produces the magazine and is a monthy or bi monthy issue

 

I dont remember the name, but it was in with the other motorcycle mags,
had scooter in big letters on the front cover, I think it was an
Australian mag, and there was a good size pile of them.
Makes me think they should be available all over.

Not on the net. Two Wheels puts out a scooter mag but it's not a lot
of use.

Yeah, go to the scooter shops. In Sydney try My Scooter in Drummoyne,
Sooteria in, I think, Camperdown, and Close Motorcycles in Surrey
Hills.

From $4000 to $7000. Meaning if you go Taiwanese Bug/Bolwell or
Italian Vespa/Gilera/Aprilia

Suzuki Bergman, 650, and yes. although it's a barge of a thing and if
you want a commuter won't get you anything but higher running costs.

Boss Hoss. Oh bugger.. they're only available in Melbourne and Geelong.

Not bad in stop-start traffic, considering the weight. Lousy turning
circle. But it can cruise pretty effortlessly at 140 km/h. The 250
Bergman is obviously less powerful but can still cruise at 100 two-up
on the freeway. Hills will slow it down.

It's called SCOOTER and is published quarterly by Two Wheels.

Edition 7 (with a blue Manurhin on the cover) should be in your local
newsagent now.

Hang on.... here's a pic of the cover....

Send me $25 and I'll post you the "Newsagencies" bit out of the
Yellow Pages. You'll need to find the letter-box yourself, though.

Not that I'm aware of, however two wheels did a scooter edition you can
order from their archives

There's a lot of scooter shops around, there's one on Victoria Rd
Drummoyne that's good, the one on Pittwater Rd Brookvale isn't bad either

suzuki burgmann 650cc last time I looked although I vaguely recall
someone mooting an 800 twin (yamaha ?) dunno if it's out yet though
