I've had one of these for 7 years
I do 20 miles a day on it. I fill it up at the beginning of the week (£8) and it does me for the week. So much cheaper than the tube etc.
Things to consider. Don't get anything to Flashy unless you have secure parking at home and at work, otherwise it will get knicked. I've had an 2 lambrettas and a Ducati monster nicked (I did live in Hackney), so in the end I got something that would blend in. Second hand the ET4's cost £700 for a good one.
Something else to consider; those old bikes and the PX series are difficult to ride at speed as the engine is to one side of the bike, so unless you are experienced I wouldnt start with one of those.
Also dont get anything that's 50cc, they are just as dangerous as something quick.
but anyway they are the way forward. Although Westminster council have started charging to park scooters (cunts that they are) so expect everyone to follow suit. If that happens, I wouldn't bother.
