Considering the quality and history of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters receive much less publicity than some of the more favored names like Lambrettas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their vintage chic appeal, but for anyone wanting to find a modern design scooter, it's difficult to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:
1) Suzuki scooters are inexpensive to both purchase and operate
My original Suzuki was a dirt bike back in the 80's. It ran like a champ, was beautifully designed, and was one of the most economical bikes on the market, taking into account the quality of the bike. Suzuki's motor scooters are no different: you get a lot of value for what you pay.
2) They are fuel efficient
Depending on the engine size you choose, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the ones that rival motorcycles) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly fuel efficient.
3) They are expertly designed
Suzuki scooters are built to the highest standards of reliability, and are respected for their smooth operation, straightforward clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the importance of a smooth clutch system, especially for younger owners who might be easily distracted!
4) They are safe
Along with their excellent engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might take for granted. For example, most Suzuki scooters have an advanced suspension system. Think that's there for comfort? If so, you'd be partially correct. It's there for both comfort and safety. By keeping vertical travel to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is improved.
5) There is a huge selection
Whether you're buying a small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model to fit your needs. For neighborhood riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all the scooter you need. But you can upgrade to a 450cc model for around $6,000, and move all the way up to a 650cc for around $9,000.
Like their motorcycle counterparts, Suzuki scooters are well-known for their traits of performance and quality. If you're looking for a premium scooter at a reasonable price, make sure to investigate a Suzuki. When you start price shopping, you'll find that there is also a good second hand scooter market, so do your research before buying!
Sort-of disclaimer: I am NOT a representative of Suzuki Motors -- just a customer who likes Suzuki's fun and cool rides.
Go-Ped GTR RoadsterGo-Ped GTR Roadster The Go-Ped GTR Roadster is a perfect cross between the competition-styled GTR46i Interceptor with CIDLI suspension and the more friendly, quiet ride of the GSR Cruiser. The GTR Roadsters GPL290 engine is incredibly light and much quieter than the engine on the GSR46i Interceptor. The bullet-proof 6" CIDLI suspension frame gives a comfortable ride and allows you to travel over rough terrain with relative ease. Bottom line, the Roadster is perfect for those who want CIDLI suspension along with a "more neighbor friendly" quieter ride. You'll also find the the aggressive 10" Powerplay "TT" smooth ride AT Primo Duro Trap treaded street tires featured on the GSR Cruiser and the side kick stand featured on the GTR46i Interceptor on the GoPed Roadster. The standard welded T bar and front wheel only Mad Dog disc brake makes the GTR Roadster a lighter machine with a lower price point.Go-Ped launched the motorized scooter craze over 20 years ago and have been designing the most high-end, innovative and refined scooting machines ever since.

Want to supplement that gas-guzzling SUV and find an economical motor scooter? You're going to return home with a model that will do little more than collect dust in your garage unless you follow a few simple guidelines.
Power
Motor scooters can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from small, toy-like scooters to large motorcycle-like scooters. Consider your needs and how you'll be using the scooter. If it's only for recreational rides, there are any number of small, cheap scooters that would serve you just fine. Perhaps a 125 or 150 would be the largest to consider.
Fit
Many scooter shoppers choose a look, rather than purchasing a fit. This is the surest way to ensure a wasted investment. Fit becomes ever more important as usage increases and is one of the primary determinants of safety, so don't brush it aside!
Ensure that your hands are in a good, comfortable position when riding, and that the turn signals, clutch, and brakes are well within reach. Finally, check the seat. While soft seats initially seem to be more comfortable, they generally result in soreness faster than firmer seats.
Style
Check out various models online before you head into a showroom where sales pressure will often result in you leaving with something you would not have purchased otherwise. There are plenty of new, sleek models, but you'll also find a wide variety of vintage models out there.
Price
Like cars, motor scooters lose their value immediately upon leaving the lot. Exacerbating this situation is that scooters usually don't receive the same amount of annual mileage as cars or even motorcycles, so the immediate depreciation has a more significant impact. In a year, you could see a 30 percent or more decline in resale value for a scooter that has barely been ridden.
For this reason, be sure to look at more than just local showrooms. There are several good resellers online who will provide you with a good selection at good prices. And you can find these motors scooters without putting up with pushy salesmen!
So remember, before you got to your local showroom and buy that flashy new model, be sure that you're clear on how you intend to use your new scooter, and then consider the power, style, fit, and cost.

I have had since my driving licence since 1988 or do I have to take some sort of scooter driving test?
