Parts availability can be a _real_ pain, I know as I run a SYM.

What I suggest is that you

A) find the 3 or 4 nearest bike dealers to you and speak to them all: find out which brand they reckon is the best for parts supply and reliability.

B) Buy one of those.

QED .

mine costs nothing to change on my policy

i have two bikes for the very same reason

the pcx is a work tool and the burger for fun but ive always got a back up if anything goes wrong

I had to give up bikes due to permanent injury, and I miss it every single day! So much so, that I am actively searching for possible solutions to repair my knackered thumb.
Driving a car is ok, but nothing* can beat the feeling and freedom of riding a bike or scooter.





*except, of course, if you can afford to drive a hyper/super car, or some other exotica.

Which thumb is it - I assume the left one for the indicators?

No, the right one.

This is what I thought too till I discovered gliding.

Ah yes, but you don't drive a glider and it isn't outrageosly expensive.

Whats wrong with the scoot to keep you off the road for so long?

But unlike scooters, gliders need a tow from an aircraft to get them going. Scooters are easier to park at work than gliders too, I reckon. Both of which put scooters ahead when it comes to freedom.
