Best 50cc Touring Scooter?
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2013 8:27 pm
With the threads for 250cc and 300cc scooters, I couldn't resist get in on it. 
What do you think the best 50cc touring scooter is? The Roughhouse is good for the dirt roads you sometimes come across in the middle nowhere. There's a couple that rode from Vancouver to Toronto on a Yamaha C3, which has loads of luggage space.
I'm partial to the Buddy 50. Reasonably big pet carrier that's large enough to fit a few changes of clothes, put a rear rack on it and you're set for camping gear, derestrict it and you're good for most 45mph back roads. Getting 80-90mpg with a 1.2 gallon tank will go 100 miles between fill-ups, which is a good distance for stopping to stretch your legs. I'm going on a 6-day vacation hiding out in log cabin up near Grand Traverse Bay in a few weeks, and I'm gonna take the Buddy up there (150 miles each way).
