The way I see it is:
--Pros
-60+ miles to the gallon (and that's being conservative)
-$66 parking permit on campus, as opposed to $250/$800 for a car
-Cheaper insurance (right?)
-Low/no maintenance
-I'll be up ~$2500 after selling my car and buying the Vespa
--Cons
-RAIN/WIND (any advice on how to deal with nasty weather on a scooter?)
-I have to get a Class M license
-Wrecks are more dangerous
So, any one have any advice as to why I should or shouldn't get one?
How much stuff can they store?
How easy is it to learn to drive one (to the point that I can get on the highway safely)?
What other things should I know/ask?
What are the laws regarding parking on sidewalks?
