Quite fancy a scooter just for running around and also maybe the trip to work now they widening the m25 and turned it into a carpark Mad

my problem is........ my god there are zillions literally of scooters out there and i have no clue which to buy Razz

head says 125cc 4 stroke but i am a sucker for a 2 stroke.
maybe pick up a basket case to rebuild over the summer ready for next year gotta have at least one project on the go Twisted Evil

so any recomendations on what are the best scoots out there?

For 2 strokes have a look at Piaggio Typhoon 125s, Gilera Runner 125s and Aprilia SR125s. If you don't mind having a little less power, Peugeot Speedfight 100s and Vivacity 100s are good scooters.

Piaggio X9. Wins hands down.

Go for old school styled Vespa (doesn't have to be an old one).

Underseat storage plus metal panels (so can bend back into shape rather than flimsy breakable plastic).

Riding a 125cc scooter on a motorway/dual carriage is scary. You schould consider this Rolling Eyes

Honda SH300 ABS is the best scooter around but quite pricy. SH125 can hit 70mph without problems as well.

With a piaggio or SYM or that kind of scooter, you will have loads of leccy problems + cornering wont be fun + easy to feel the engine ramming your bum at high speeds +, +, etc..
To me, yamaha bws100 is extraordinary but unfortunately not sold in the uk.
BTW first rule of biking;
If you cant decide what to buy, get yourself a honda Mr. Green
