Question

What is the best 250cc gas scooter on the market?

Answer 1

Honda by far.

Answer 2

THE best 250cc scooter on the market is the piaggio mp3 250.  Hands down.  You will pay about 8K for it though.  They will soon be releasing a hybrid version of this scooter as well thats capable of around 150MPG.  You can see what one looks like here:

Answer 3

Honda Helix, is my favorite 250cc scooter. I bought one when i needed cheap wheels 5 years ago, 6 months, 6k miles, cheapest ride i've ever had, and I wish i still had it.  The  most comfortable seat too, that seat is more comfortable than the $700 corbin on my dad's kawasaki nomad.

Answer 4

Best, probably a Vespa. My choice , one of the japanese scoots.

Answer 5

I have a 2002 Honda 250cc Reflex, and I am more than satisfied with it. I have owned Hondas (80cc to 150cc) from the start 10 years now, and this is the best. There is even a Reflex owners chat group on Yahoo for tips and advice.

One bitty issue, tho- Honda will cease production of the Reflex in 2008, that may affect body parts replacement, but not engine/running gear parts. The Elite 150 was the runningest scoot ever made, and THAT ceased production (wha..?) ~1990.

Answer 6

I have a Yamaha XT250 and it does multiple chores great. Also less expensive to buy brand new than a scooter if your looking at Vespa. I recomend it highly and like mine for just getting around and off road play.

Answer 7

The best on the market with out pay high prices is a Kymco they have three models in the 250 size, They have a 2 year warranty and it is honored if a dealer doesn't back up the warranty they loose the dealer ship. Kymco is the largest manufacture of scooters in the world and even made some of Honda's small  motors for them. They are not junk from china. I have hardly ever had to fix one more than normal maintenance. With the j*p scooters Honda and Susie and of course Yamaha you  pay a lot of for a name.And Kymco is rated better then them anyway. They have been in the market since 1963
