I think my scooter is great gets me where I'm going and does it cheaply. only thing it needs is a wind screen and ill be happy are there any windscreen for short people that cost less then 1 hundred? and are they hard to install?

What's a real bike? Does your friend consider scooters as toys?
@wind topic
Scared of wind? get a cage (car).

I hear that all the time... but the advantages are many. Its size makes is easily storable and weight makes it a lot easier to move around. Its nimbleness and maneuverability exceeds most motorcycles, its shiftless which gives you more concentration on the road than on the gearing and that is great in a stop and go traffic scenario.I think it does have a few negatives when it coms to higher speeds . Its light weight makes it prone to windy wander and its way too light for the interstate. Can be used there but again its prone to wind and presents a danger do its size and weight. For commuting or to the store and around town its great.A tall Windshield is a must but may give you more wind problems.. but some like the windy wander ..its makes it more gamey and challenging..

I believe that I had the same criticism when I had my Hyundai Santa Fe and the other individual was driving a BFT (Big F' ing Truck). However, he didn't see the picture from my point of view. His truck got 12 mpg, while mine got 18 mpg in the city. He couldn't find parking spaces that his truck would fit in, while mine fit in most standard parking spaces.
So let him say what he wants to. His doesn't get 100 mpg, and he has to shift gears on a regular basis. Besides, the pcx looks a lot more like a motorcycle than a Vespa does.
One more thing. There are touring scooters that look just like a motorcycle, and there are some motorcycles that have automatic transmissions, so unless he is talking about a Harley, which spends a lot of time in the shop, he really doesn't know jack about scooters or motorcycles.

I never cared about being cool. I was always a geek b4 it was cool to be a geek. lol I'm not sure if being geek is cool or not. but a bike that gets 90 mpg and can keep up with traffic is so cool. but I am eyeing a kawaski ninja 300
