Shitty College student here... whats a reasonable moped to get

get a 70-80s honda motorcycle 150-300 cc with low km/miles

moped is just a bad idea. I have never ridden one but get sick at the thought of it, they look absolutely terrible. Unless you're planning on getting a replica of the one in FLCL, get a small motorcycle. you'll be glad you did.

I wouldnt go 70s becuase of parts but pretty much this. Scooters and mopeds are a waste of money, get a small motorcycle

or a zuma, basically a ruckus without the rice tax

Guaranteed way to never get laid

>>14665290
The only real problem i see with those sorts of things is that for the price of a new moped/scooter/grom you could buy a perfectly good actual motorcycle and retain some dignity. Theres no point in owning a moped in the US

>>14665392
Typically people have them since you don't need a license to drive anything under 49cc (permit will do) and they're allergic to anything with a clutch

>>14665270
70s are nice because kick start

parts aren't hard to find for the more popular hondas

Motorcycle clutch is stupid easy. It's not like learning on a manual car where you can actually fuck up the car or crash in to someone.

Buy a scooter. Something hip. If you want to be more alpha, for some goddamned reason they make 500cc scooters, buy one of those.

lol
Driving manual is easy as shit. Monkeys do it. Real monkeys.

Buy a Honda grom and not look like a faggot.
It's a cute bike.

>moped
>student
Nice try, vagrant. Get off the library computer.

Just say fuck it and go to the moped store. Salesman will probably ask your budget. If you tell him you don't know anything about mopeds, he'll likely make you a recommendation. Should be able to walk out with something for around $800 cash.

>>14665696
>3k for a moped

OP should get hiimself a road bicycle

>>14665696
grom a shit. if you are getting a motorcycle, get something that can at least go on the highway. A grom is a meme compromise.

>>14668065
Fuck that song but this had me laughing

You have never lived in a college down.

>College didn't charge you to have moped parking
>Mopeds can drive down any path designed for bikes including park paths
>Mopeds are allowed to be parked in motorcycle parking or any bike rack.

UGA campus and downtown area is swarmed with mopeds for these reasons.

>>14668086
Grom is only good as a second bike or shit bike.

>>14668086
He did say around town.

Buy a used Ninja 250 and learn how to ride instead. You can actually use it to go on the highway if you need to and move faster than about 5mph.

>>14668161
I'll admit i hadnt considered parking but thats the only valid point.

>>14668249
and if you are going around town just get like an 800 dollar scooter.

>>14668161
>going to UGA
Have fun with your shitty football team and average academics

>>14670954
t-thanks

Buy an R1M, good price and gas mileage plus it's got traction control in case you mess up

>>14665043
honda elite is affordable and has a huge aftermarket. big enough to ride comfortably at 37-ish mph

Honda ex5

>>14665043
get a small motorbike like a Virago 250
>comfy cruiser
>easy to rode in the city
>small but not too small
>V twin engine
>you won't look like a faggot
>85 mpg

get a small bike instead

scooters will make you look like a turbofaggot and even if you are a qt3.14 twink you'll still probably look weird riding it

They also sound great

But OP should keep in mind that these are low bikes, like a full 2 inches lower than a Ninja 250
