scooters are generally seen as "not fast enough to cause serious injury" i dont know why, they can still do some decent speed and if you crash its gonna hurt.
but scooters will sip fuel and they make perfect sense for small trips and city riding
Well, mine does 80km/h, and that doesn't have anywhere near 15 hp. If i'm lucky i've got half that
Crashing with 80 km/h.. Is not something i'd want to experience. That's easily quick enough to kill you.. :/
Mind you, it is rather illegal.. Scooters are only allowed to 30km/h here in Denmark, at least when you're 16-17.. When you're 18 you can get one with a white numberplate and go 45.. ;P
30km/h is very slow.. You get tired of that speed, very quickly.
Only problem with it being faster is that it's now only doing something like 10-15 km/L..
Personally im not really not into bikes that much.. Never driven a "proper" motorcycle of course, but driving a car is just a lot more appealing to me. I like not having to worry about falling over, and not having to worry about bad weather as much as you do with a scooter or a bike.. Is seriously cold driving to school on my scooter at the moment! Can't wait till i get my license..
