MAIN Home Life Shopping Cars Motorcycles & Scooters

With the cost of gas and car maintenance growing ever higher, the classic motorcycle and scooter are starting to shed its "poor man's wheels" image. Currently, a growing number of car drivers are opting for the sleeker, more maneuverable, go-anywhere two wheeler.

For large families it may a smart choice as an add-on to the big SUV for short runs into town. Meanwhile, more singles and married women are beginning to see the advantages of a scooter or motorcycle even if merely as a quicker, independent way of getting them where they want to go.

Even empty-nesters and baby boomers are also feeling the need for speed on long-awaited biking adventures (now that the kids have grown!).
