Are you kidding?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] lol im sure they are fun to some extent but they cant compare to dirtbikes. You can go so many more places on a db and hit jumps and what not. In my opinion scooters dont even compare.

I'd get the moped [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. Well, I need one anyway. I am accident prone. A moped would be safer cuz it's slower. I'd get a plastic bicycle helmet too so you don't get hurt. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


Are you serious? Get the dirtbike.

I have noticed the same thing you have, 7quadsport7, a lot of those weird scooters running around called Vespas or something. They look like a pretty good time, but I think I would get a dirt bike over one any day.

There is a guy who lives in my town with a 50s style green color Vespa that either has the silencer removed or the packing taken out, or an after market exhaust, or something. The thing sounds so good though, kind of funny how loud it is when you finally look over and see what it is. But yeah, stick with the DB.

They do make 4 stroke Dirtbikes which are street legal.... if you intend to use it on-road... then maybe you would be interested in one of them, and then you can still take it off-roading when ever you want....

This one is a no brainer.
Dirt bike all the way. They don't even compare.
As for teh street legal thing. Almost every dirt bike out there you can get a kit for to make it street legal. I know there's kits for both my CR250's and I've seen ones for CR125's and KX125's. I would say if you want to use it on road just buy the lighing kit and license it. Or pick up a XR enduro.
