Just a couple of questions do you want an automatic transmission, and do you ride through standing water much? If you do don' t pass go don' t collect your $200 dollars and head striaght to the Honda dealer. I will have no part of a belt drive scooter, I' ve pulled too many out of flooded bean/rice field in Ark. where I duck hunt. You can say what you want, but a belt drive transmission will slip in the water, it' s just inevitable, sooner or later it will leak and start slipping which ain' t fun. That aside there are a lot of good bikes, the Honda' s aren' t the fastest but they tend to have plenty of torque. To me the Polaris is one of the best riding four wheelers around, but it simply isn' t that good for what I do with a scooter. In addition in my area Honda' s generally have the highest resale value, something you might want to check out.
