So after moving around a bit, I am now supporting an inner-city life style. I have decided no matter what, I am selling my car, and hoping to get around $6,000AUD for it. Going to be sad, 'cause it is my first car.

Anyway, I was thinking of either putting the money away in a bank to earn interest, or using about $5,000 of it to get a motorbike license and buy a 2008 Yamaha 125 Vino and then putting the rest aside.

What are peoples opinions on scooters in general? And if you know anything about or have tried out a 125 Vino, I'd love to hear you opinions on it.

My reasoning is that the only reason I would take a 40-minute car drive is to visit my girlfriend, who is 80% of the time at my place any way (not to mention I have two cars I can borrow); so my car just sits there slowly losing value -- it's a good car! (Ford Telstar TX5).
