What do you want a scooter for (boddy hairdryers!!) get a proper motorbike-don't listen to that mod!! Rockers rule!

Only joking.
here are many good motorcycles. (Are you talking USA scooter? Which is a motorbike for us in the UK) A UK scooter is one of them funny things with tiny wheels and a cover round the front.

Yamaha do some good 50cc's and they will carry you and posessions about pretty well. You don't say if you have a full or learners licence. In the UK Up to 17yrs old you can only ride a M/cycle with a max output of 12Kw or 50cc. Over 17 you can ride a motorcycle up to 125 cc, when you pass your test you can ride up to 400cc and then after 2 years take another test to allow you to ride any size of bike.I suspect you want a "scooter" there are several brands coming from all over the aisian continent, most are pretty similar except in price. The Italian ones seem best, they are all 12V with much more reliability that ever before. 2 strokes provide the best power output, but almost all of them are unit engine, gearbox or automatic. Often the auto's wear out, since they rely on cones for the final drive. Good and regular servicing is the key, change oil well before service time, keep the machine clean, look out for corrosion, get one with leading link forks-less prone to dipping and loosing stability.

Good luck
