Face Motorcycle Scooter Entry level motorcycle for 6'3" guy?
Looking for advice for purchasing a beginner/entry level bike. I am 6'3" tall and do not like bikes with low seat heights at all. I went to a dealer and say on many, only to find that most made me feel like my knees were in my face. I don't want a crotch rocket either, just maybe a 650 twin or something like that. I did sit on a Yamaha TMAX scooter (31.5" seat height) and that was great! Other than the TMAX, what would you suggest please?
P.S. I had a new 1974 Suziki 125cc a LONG, LONG time ago (showing my age) for about a year. That's the extent of my motorcycle experienced, I'm afraid.
I was going to say big people fit better on cruisers. But then you don't like cruisers.
So the basic idea is that every motorcycle has a little different ergos, the spatial arrangement between seat, handlebars and footpegs. You could handle anything up to 650cc, You don't want a hot crotch-rocket, at least not to learn on, you want a 'standard', but some are styled like sportbikes. A Suzuki SV 650, a Kawsaki Ninja 650r, something like that. Go sit on a few bikes and see what feels comfortable to you. If the bike has a centerstand, stand it up and sit on it with your hands on the handlebars and your feet on the footpegs, and ask yourself 'Could I sit like this for two hours?' Actually you can tell a lot by sitting on a bike.
The other guy recommend a KLR. That's a bike for on/off road. That would be an ideal bike to learn on because it's very light and easy to manage. It's high off the ground, because off-road bikes have long suspension travel, so you have to be tall to sit on it and put both feet flat on the ground. But once you're actually moving, the distance between the seat and the footpegs is the same as a regular bike.
Those new big scooters are also very cool. They are easier to ride because they have a lower center of gravity, plus they have automatic transmissions, so a total newbie can just climb on one and ride it off into the sunset. 8^)

Driver Safety For Motorcycles, Mopeds And Scooters
Driver safety on motorcycles, mopeds or scooters is imperative. They may go faster, look cooler, or squeeze into places where cars couldn't, but they are also more prone to serious accidents.
If you've seen the world pass by ever so quickly, heard the gentle roar of an engine just below you and felt the rush of the air on your face --- you start wondering why everyone wouldn't just drive motorcycles instead. Here are some driver safety tips, if you choose motorcycles, mopeds or scooters:
Helmet-hair – Driver safety on motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and other 2-wheeled vehicles should start here. On a motorcycle, a helmet is a life investment. Find one that fits well --- loose-fitting helmets might fall off when you accelerate while on a motorcycle.
Suit up! - Part of motorcycle/moped/scooter driver safety is clothing. If you're going out 'round the corner, then maybe having a helmet will do, but if you're going on a long trip, wear motorcycle clothing --- something to maybe lessen the scrapes, should you fall off. Find bright/reflective motorcycle clothes as this will make you more visible to motorists on the road.
Protect Your Eyes – A general driver safety tip is keeping your eyes on the road --- and most motorcycles don't have windshields to protect your eyes from dust or insects that you happen to pass by. Pick a helmet with eye protection, or better yet, find shatter-proof goggles.
Flash Your Lights – Not your teeth. A motorcycles, mopeds and scooters are just hard to spot during the day and night. Driver safety suggests that you open up your lights to make sure the vehicles in front and back of you see that you're there.
Keep Your Distance – The best driver safety tip on motorcycles/mopeds/scooters next to helmets is keeping your distance. Even on the mildest of collisions, the driver of a motorcycle (or moped/or scooter) is more likely to receive more damage --- keeping ample distance will do wonders for driver safety.
Remember... the safe operation of a motorcycle requires practiced skill, knowledge, and a respectful understanding of the limitations imposed by the operator, the machine, and the environment. Learn more about how to get your motorcycle license in your state.

Florida’s sunny and warm weather, combined with the rising cost of gas, make riding mopeds an enjoyable and economical way to travel. These days, all over the roads you will see men, women and even children riding around on a mini motorcycle known commonly as the moped. Mopeds are gaining popularity and because of the increase in the number of mopeds, there has also been an increase in the number of moped accidents.
Just as motorcycles are often not seen by other motorists and are frequently involved in catastrophic accidents, mopeds, too, are more likely to be involved in fatal accidents than any other passenger vehicle. Even when the moped driver is taking every safety precaution possible, accidents can and do happen, especially in a high tourist area such as the state of Florida.
If you have been injured in a moped accident, even if you didn’t have a valid license or weren’t wearing a helmet, you may be entitled to compensation from the motorist who hit you. It is very important to contact an experienced Florida moped accident attorney as soon as you are involved in a moped accident. An experienced attorney will make sure your rights are protected and get you the rights you deserve.
Florida Law
In Florida, if you are injured while riding a moped, Vespa, or other motorized scooter your no-fault/personal injury protection (PIP) insurance does not cover your accident or your injuries. Because your accident does not fall under PIP, you do not have to prove that a permanent injury has resulted to receive compensation for your pain and suffering. Only an experienced moped accident attorney can explain the confusing Florida accident insurance laws.
In most moped accident cases involving injury or fatality, you have four years from the date of the crash to file a claim. That may seem like a long time, but actually that time passes very quickly if you are dealing with serious injuries or permanent disabilities.
Contributors to Moped Accidents
The following are the most common causes of moped accidents in the state of Florida and around the country:
· Distracted motorists
· Fatigued motorists
· Blind spots
· Road hazards
· Inclement weather
· Speeding
· Alcohol/drugs
· Inexperienced motorists
Every summer Floridians hear horror stories about vacationers who have never been on a moped, and in some cases do not even have a driver’s license, getting caught up in the moment and driving recklessly. What started out as a joy ride can very often turn into a nightmare.

Vespa Discounts should i pay msrp price for the s 150 vespa scooter ?
i was looking at the web site for the vespa scooter and they have a price msrp for $5396.00 , i think the dealer can sell for less , but how much should i bargain for a reduced price ?
also buying out o f season will get a big discount .
You'll save a ton if you buy last year's model from the dealer, probably $1,500 off or so... Or buy a 4 year old one for more the half the price...
No other city comes close. It may no longer be caput mundi (capital of the world), but Rome is an epic, bubbling-over metropolis harbouring lost empires. One visit and you'll be hooked. Rome has a glorious monumentality that it wears without reverence. Its architectural heirlooms are buzzed around by car and Vespa as if they were no more than traffic islands.
The city bombards you with images: elderly ladies with dyed hair chatting in Trastevere; priests with cigars strolling the Imperial Forums; traffic jams around the Colosseum; plateloads of pasta in Piazza Navona; sinuous trees beside the Villa Borghese; barrages of pastel-coloured scooters revving up at traffic lights as if preparing for a race.
People in Rome encapsulate the spirit of the city. Pass a central café and the tables outside are animated with people, downing fast shots of espresso and sporting big black sunglasses. They are neither posing nor hung over. Nuns flutter through the streets, on the trip of a lifetime or secondment from the Philippines, bustling across the road before treating themselves to an ice cream. Churches fill during Mass, and the priests, dressed in purple, cream or red silk (right down to their socks), read the rites to a hushed congregation (mostly from out of town).
Here the national preoccupation with the aesthetic fuses with incredible urban scenery to make Rome a city where you feel cool just strolling through the streets, catching the sunlight on your face outside a café, or eating a long lunch. It's a place that almost encourages you to take things easy. Don't feel like going to a museum? What's the need when it's all outside on the streets?
