scooter info is preferred but feel free to hijack the thread with other bikes too if you like.

i'm mainly curious as i'm looking at getting one. two years ago i wanted to get back into riding after a 10yr hiatus but couldn't settle on a bike. but a friend got a bmw c650 recently and is having a great time riding around town. i'm looking at 400cc plus sizes before i go shopping; what do you ride?

What are you looking to do with it? Putt around town? Zipp around town? That engine size is NOT a moped. One option is to check out the super motards. It's basically a dual sport/dirt bike on sportbike tires. Suzuki makes the DRZ and KTM has the Duke. Both are really cool bikes.

My buddy has the KTM and it's so damn cool. I would love to have one but alas, my wife would kill me.

I think Honda makes a 650 scooter that would fit the bill. If you don't want to fool with a clutch, you could always get the supermotard with rekluse clutch system. They have been used in GNCC and hare scramble racing for several years now. Very reliable.
