Would be nice to include super scooters, 250 cc and above, for other riders. At 79 yrs I changed to a 400 cc Yamaha Majesty and was surprised how much I liked it after 18 years on VStroms.
We typically include (and test) larger scooters, but not many have been updated lately. This isn’t a comprehensive buyers guide; it just covers new/updated bikes.
A agree with above comment about scooters.
At no charge here’s a outline of a 1 edition month exclusive on scooters.
1. Cover: Is a scooter a motorcycle
2 Photo A Yamaha T-Max 560 (not sold in America). 47HP YES.
3. Duh. History of scooters includes oldest (ICE) ever to newest notable Electrics, and
then future predictions of scooters.
4. Scooters from around the
world. You do realize there are probably close to 1 Billion
scooters In use worldwide mostly in Asia and developing country’s where cars are unaffordable for the masses.
4. Covering the world of scooters.
5. Segmented by cc review of scooters.
40cc to 149cc
150cc ro 250 etc.
Racing scooters do they? I don’t know you guys fine out.
I agree with Mr. Hayden, with a slight addition. For his proposed segmented reviews, please include an additional class for scooters over 250cc. Examples would include: Yamaha Xmax 292cc, Suzuki Burgman 400, Piaggio BV400, Vespa 300 (278cc), GTS Super (278cc), and GTV300 (listed as 300cc), and the Kymco AK550 liquid cooled twin. I would leave to your discretion: Piaggio MP3 and Kymco CV3 (my vote is “No”).
The matter of larger cc scooters raises the question: State by state, at how many cc’s is the operator required to have a motorcycle license? Thanks! Jim Dieringer
Seems the motorcycle industry as well as many others are pricing themselves out of the motorcycle business except for the wealthy who cares less what it cost.
It is government regulations that are driving the prices up. Pollution controls, ABS, Catalytic converters, traction control, liability insurance for sue happy lawyers. Just look at the God awful rear fenders and taillights the manufacturers have to put on their motorcycles.
Airbags and Seatbelts next?
You are ignorant. RIDERS DEMAND safety improvements. Otherwise there are millions of used older bikes to choose from.
It seems to me that the governments around the world, want to price motorcycles, and a lot more out of business. I wish, we could just be left alone to enjoy our favorite means of transportation.
Right on brother !
let’s not forget the greedy dealers who mark things way up then add on freight,cost to build…pdi…the list goes on and on….I once worked for a dealer who would make $750 clear even if he sold the bike at dealer cost…like I said greedy
If you think you can operate a business on $750 per bike it’s time for you to go into business
like I said that was at cost when he “gave away ‘ the deal…most deals they made well over 2k…like I said greedy
I used to be a Triumph dealer. It costs over $1000 per bike just to sell it. The freight and PDI are direct costs, there is zero profit in that. You have zero idea what it takes to run a business. You better keep your day job.
Why should freight be free? You go run a dealership for, say, 5 years, then come back and let’s see how you feel about:
– Dealing with the “public”; 80% are jerks without a clue, who all think freight charges should be free and that there are no costs associated with running a dealership
– Paying for the building.
– Paying the utilities to keep the business running
– Paying the employees
– Paying the taxes
– Dealing with the State or country department of motor vehicles–EVERY DAY (soul crushing)
– Dealing with theft and people who dodge paying their bills
– Dealing with fraudsters
– Dealing with customers who think their trade-ins are worth 10-times more than they are actually worth (also soul crushing)
– Dealing with motorcycle companies every day
– If you sell touring motorcycles, dealing with people in the middle of a trip who need instant break-down service even though your service department has no openings for 7 to 10 days.
Honestly, I’m surprised there are ANY dealers. It’s a business I wouldn’t touch, nor would most sane people.
I’d love to see the market research that steers so many manufacturers away from bringing small displacement, low cost bikes to the US.
Surely, I’m not the only rider who wants something fun, cheap and stylish to bop around town on. Give me a 125-250cc that doesn’t look like it was designed by a 12 year old boy.
It’s literally right there in the middle of the article… Kawasaki W230… 233cc, ABS, doesn’t look like a demented insect, not very expensive at $5500 all-in. Also several 350cc Royal Enfield models are under $5000 and look like normal and even retro motorcycles. And many more. They are out there, look at manufacturer web sites. Sometimes dealers don’t stock many, because, HONESTLY… not many customers ask for them. People who want cheap motorcycles buy cheap scooters or motorcycles made in China, and end up losing all their money when it breaks and there’s no dealers or independent shops to fix it. And they ALWAYS break. Yamaha has a $5000 250 that is not insectoid. Honda has the classic Super Cub 125 for under $4000 with ABS and cast wheels (instead of spoked wheels). If those are all too expensive for your budget, you are a used motorcycle customer.
Oi vey, all these scooter comments. I worked for San Francisco’s CITIBIKE for many years and road tested the Suzuki 650 Burgman – it was a great bike but for some reason Suzuki didn’t want it back. What happened? I ended up putting nearly 5,000 miles on it, touring the western United States. Capable? Yup. Enjoyable? Absolutely. Did people stare? You bet!
I’d love to convince Triump to build a scooter around their monster, three cylinder motor and up the horsepower to over 200 (supercharge the darn thing). With 16 inch wheels and minimal brakes it would be truly a bike to overwhelm the VAST majority of riders.
Scooters rule in MANY nations, just not so much here.
SCOOTERS!? Where are they? I stop throwing a leg over at 70 plus years. I didn’t stop riding. AND the garage has no room for a CanAm or a Ryker or Harley trike which you’ve covered in the past.
A buying guide with out SCOOTERS is like 1/2 the menu.
John, the Motorcycle Buyers Guide only includes new or significantly updated models, and there hasn’t been news about new/updated scooters for 2025 yet. However, you can find some new scooters on the 2024 Motorcycle Buyers Guide: https://ridermagazine.com/2023/07/11/2024-motorcycle-buyers-guide-new-street-models/
I recently purchased a BMW C650GT Maxi Scooter (automatic). After riding motorcycles for the last fifty years, it is quite different. Besides always looking for the shifter and trying to pull in the non-existent clutch while stopping, it’s been a blast. I find that other motorcycle riders actually still wave when I pass by; in my head, I’m thinking, “Don’t judge me, Bro!”
My only regret is that Honda doesn’t sell its ADV750 in the States. The ADV750 would sell well, and many older riders like myself would snap them up. Are you listening, Honda?
I find the waving is REALLY REALLY annoying in urban areas and anywhere with high levels of motorcycle traffic. Riding to motorcycle events like the big Touring show in Geneva, NY, Americade… sheesh, it’s wall to wall motorcycles as you get within a few hours of Geneva and it’s just annoying to keep waving. “Stop the wave. We’re OVER it.!”
Gready dealers, hmmm, agree in a lot of examples, but it goes far deeper, back in 70-80’s, 15% markup built into SRP was not enough to keep the doors open on a MC business, had to have competent employees , enthusiast who rode bikes daily , shop, service, parts, accessories, is what kept the business viable. Not tattooed, pierced up knuckle headeds who don’t ride and know a spark plug from a widget, down right insulting to find total lack of knowledge and real motorcycle enthusiasts at your average MC shop these days. Even more insulting is the manufactures offer far greater quality and variations of motorcycles that we could only dream of years ago, and these so called dealers , or rather the people that meet the public have no clue as to the quality and competent product they offer. Kudos to the few good dealers/shops out there – worth spending your money there. I have same sediments about restaurants and bar personel, same lack of competence, knowledge, and understanding of service , just expect a high tip for saying hi. Difficult to train up this current group of employees, but got to find a way – mentorship and true journeyship methods work in supporting these trades as a career.
I am 74 years old and have had various motorcycles on the road now for 58 years. I bought a new BMW 1200RT in 2017 but i did not find it to suit my needs. I opted for a 2020 Burgman 400 and I liked it around town but found it to be underpowered for longer trips. I sold it and bought a used Burgman 650. It has been a good ride but I am thinking about a new BMW c650 this year. Any thoughts on this bike? I have heard that engines were a problem 2017 but I expect that has been corrected.
Man, the motorcycle world is looking lame.
Same nonsense as last year, with a few new pretties, but still the same old bikes.
I’d rather buy an old bike and rebuild it than buy a new ‘cookie-cutter’ generic waste of garage space.
Honda has become as exciting as tan wallpaper accents on a beige wall.
