I have definitely enjoyed my ride to work, picked up a Helmet too just to be safe.
interesting, I must see if I can find one..you don't register it as a motorcycle? doesn't it get a license plate? its awesome you don't need all the extra things you mentioned above (insurance, license change, etc) what exactly does one need?

If your state allows a 49cc and under (scooter law) with no tags or insurance it's pretty cheap fun and can save gas money. There are packs of 49cc pit bikes that just cruise all night around here.
At least in CT anything under 50cc is considered a scooter, I called CT DMV and explained what the bike was and the woman said the same thing.
