i don't think there are any... i tried looking for the same thing before i bought mine. in the end, what really made up my mind was going to the different dealerships and test riding them all and see which one fits best and feels right.
it's a subjective "feels right," but there are certain qualities that are difficult to quantify, that you will know right away when you are riding it. it's not unlike buying a bicycle. you may really love a particular bicycle, but if it's not a good fit then it's not a good fit.
if you are unable to get the dealers to let you test drive them, then there's always the route of taking the MSF course first to prove that you are able to and have a learner's permit to ride one. also, when taking the MSF course, be sure to ask if they have scooter-specific classes or if they have scooters for you to ride on for the class (kill 2 birds w/one stone since you are essentially test-riding a possible purchase right there).
good luck, and be sure to come back and let us know how what you end up with!!

There was always Epinions, but it doesn't seem like its been updated in a few years.
