I'm looking to buy a new 150cc scooter. Anybody know of a good website with low prices, fast shipping? In the next couple of months I'm looking to get one, for a good price. I commute about 30 miles a day and the speed limit is 40-55 mph, So my 50cc gets tough at times. Going to keep the 50cc for my project/grocery getter, Ive poured approximately 2 grand into my 50cc and I could only get a couple hundred out of it, so it is staying my backup. I don't own a car, So what is the best website to find a good reliable scoot at a reasonable price? Thanks my scooting friends, Love to hear feedback and pics of your favorite 150's.

Go check out a Kymco Super 8 150 or the Like 200. Super 8 is cheaper and uses a carb while the Like a little more expensive but is F.I. There is a dealership in your area.
Or try a Honda PCX150.

Ok, In your opinion whats the best chinese 150. I wont be keeping it long , just long enough that I can save up and buy either a Burgman 400 or a Kymco Xciting 500.

I hear TaoTao is on the rise and is the way to go as far as chinese 4t bikes are concerned. I aspire to own a TaoTao Powemax 150 myself one day... Addicted to these small engines I am now.

So stopped by the local scoot shop and they have a beautiful 2007 Yamaha Majesty 400cc for $2999, Oh boy!! Gel Corbin seat! I took it for a test ride and it rode like a dream I could ride for hours without my butt hurting. Now if I can come up with another 2 grand and I will be riding with the big boys!! I ride 30 miles a day, speed limits 40-55mph so a 50cc gets tough alot of ignorant drivers down here too. A 150cc would be nice but a 400!!! I have to put in effect though its out of my price range and above my means at the moment, would be nice though to hop on the scoot and take a ride to my home state of Louisiana.
NOTE-(My Mind Goes At 100mph Per Second Every Scoot I See I Want, So I Will Be Telling You Guys All About The Scoots I See)

I have to say my scooters seat is really comfortable. It's the ride that bothers me; it's just a bit too soft.

IMO if your not into or dont have the means to collect scooters aka get the tao tao AND the majesty... Then I would just tough it out on the 50 until you can get what you really want.
Get a BBK to hold you over while you stockpile some funds.
