Re: My ongoing quandary
Keep the scooter you've got. I could ride any CC auto but my last 5 scooters have all been 125's.

Re: My ongoing quandary
I think the two bikes thing would suit me best. thing is there would need to be a bit of changing around. i actually have two bikes atm. b500 and the spoetcity. i think ideally i would like a 400 for my
commute and a funky 125 for weekends around town.
Then again the 250 handles both quite well...aaarrrrghhhhhh you see what i mean

Re: My ongoing quandary
Before changing, analyse your riding style.
Are you a filter to the front and launch away from the stop line at traffic lights type rider?
Do you always 'make progress' or happy to tootle along in the traffic stream?
Do you ever do longer motorway trips where mid speed lane changing acceleration is needed often?
Is fuel economy really important?
If the answer to the first three is YES, then you need at least a 400cc. Otherwise stick with 125 or 250 bikes.
