I didn't really save any money riding my yamaha radian. It melted tires and the four carbs were not exactly effiecient.
The lifan was pretty cheap to ride. I could actually ride it and come out ahead. It helped that my 4 wheeled vehicle only got 16mpg too.
I am considering a scooter again and watching the craigslist for a bargain one. Gy6 variant 150cc or larger. I need to be able to maintain 50mph for my commute with alittle extra in reserve. Also so that I can extend my season a reasonable fairing/windshield. Tires for the scoots probably run alittle more than the dual sports, but I think I can eek more mpg out of a scooter than a dual sport too.
I haven't fully decided. Hoping to find someone who wants to unload a (problematic :wink: ) scooter.
