Texas DPS list of scooters

fratermus · 03-14-2013, 06:13 AM

Haven't been here in a while, but found an interesting list when I was looking for auto registration info.

Here's the Texas DPS list of certified scooters (pdf). Plenty of chinabikes on there.

BTW, had to sell my DR650 to get a small truck so I am bikeless....

I am thinking maybe there's a 200cc Chinese dualsport in my future when I can scare up the cash again.

Welcome back!

It's funny that there are nine Kymco models listed, but only four Hondas. What type of China bike did you have before? Which one are you leaning towards now?

I was looking at one of the Roketa 200cc dual sports. I ended up buying a Suzuki DR650 dual sport. I lived in apartments and had no place to wrench on a chinabike.

I loved the DR, but kept thinking that a 200cc would be sufficient for my needs and likely get better MPG (I was getting 48-52 MPG on the DR). The Japanese 200-250cc bikes are almost as expensive as the bigger thumpers. :-(

I have a house with a garage now so I guess it's time to start researching again. Mainly to see what's possible to register in Texas.
