How I decided I needed another roommate.
AtomSmasher:
Just thought I'd throw in a funny story. A friend of mine a few years ago picked a motorcycle (no idea what type as I don't live near him anymore) but he had no idea how to drive a stick. My theory is he was on a kick to pick up chicks because he got a guitar at the same time (no, he can't play the guitar either). Anyways, he paid for some lessons from the place he got it from, but the lessons didn't happen until a week or so after he got the bike, and he really wanted to drive it right then, so he decided to try. Time and time again he kept stalling it when trying to put it into gear (as I said he doesn't know how to drive a stick) so he decided to rev the engine real high and release the clutch really fast. The bike shot out, but he was able to hold onto the handlebars, unfortunately his feet was still on the ground so his legs got kicked behind him making him do a "superman" on the bike. He went for about 10-15 feet and crashed. He was fine, but it took another month or so to repair the bike. He waited for the lessons before he rode it again.

Bikes, no matter what size cubic compact can cause grief to the non-educated. Clutches give you control of a bike but will spit off the stupid with no notice.

I like 'em both. Nobody can deny that scooters are just plain fun. That being said, I sold my Yamaha scooter years ago to buy a Honda VLX which I ride almost every day. I'd like to get a bigger bike, but I just can't justify the upgrade.
Also, my Yamaha scooter was a 1990 Zuma II. Bought it for $800, rode it for a year, sold it for $950. Muhahahahaha.
Oh, and that Ducati needs a fairing, big time. I don't find all of the exposed fiddlybits all that attractive.

No it doesn't. It would loose the intended mug lair market for which it was designed.
Ducati cater for the race bike market with their sexy fairings.

My old roommate moved out 6 weeks ago, and I am doing pretty good money wise, so I was thinking about not getting a new one.
