Scooters versus Motorcycles – the right decision to save gas

Scooters have become stylish lately due to high gas costs.  However that is the wrong decision.  Scooters have small wheels and feel pretty tweaky to me.   A much better choice is to go get a small displacement motorcycle.  You will be safer and will find a larger envelop of operation.  You can drive your cycle 50 ish miles without too much difficulty.  I would not want to do that with a scooter.
