Answer 2

Like in cars and cycles, overall the Italian and Japanese brands have the edge. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki are all great. In Italian brands, it's the stylish Vespa, (since 1946) and it's parent company Piaggio.

Chinese makes are a mixed bag, ranging from fairly good quality, to absolute junk.

As a general rule, the more you spend, the more you get back when you sell.

Ten year old Vespas, for example, are worth more now, than when first sold.

Every scooter will require maintenance and parts. What good is a brand if it takes

three months to get parts? Name brands generally have best supply lines.

Generally, an authorized dealer, with a large inventory and investment is in it for the long haul. They won't risk their business by not being able to run the profitable service-side of the business. They need replacement parts fast.

It takes a manufacturer quite a few years to build up a good distribution system.

That's why it makes sense to go with the proven names you recognize.
