I live in San Francisco, and I find myself using my car alot. I feel bad about using so much gas with everything that is going on in the world right now, not to mention the prices!
So Im going to buy either a small motorcycle (250cc to 350cc)or a scooter to get around town. Which would you recomend?
here's advantages I can see to a scooter:
Easier to weave between traffic
better gas miilage (90-100 mpg!)
easier to drive if I ever wear a kilt
Motorcycle advantages:
cheaper
feels way more badass
I can take it on the freeway
CONS: worse gas mileage (50-60mpg)
Im pretty set on Honda, but only like 80%, and its not really based on anything
Ive been looking at a used 1980-84 Honda CM 250 Custom. its a nice, basic bike, and i like the looks of it. ive read that parts are hard to come by though, and that worries me

)

for scooters, Ive been looking at an old Honda Elite 150. But there's also an elite 50 that someone is selling with a mullosi 70cc race motor. there's a picture of him doing a wheelie on the thing. ha ha
what do you guys think?
