We pick three scooters over motorcycles, whilst still being cool on them

A motorcycle is a combination of different emotions and physical actions which together form an experience. Which is why, if I were to choose between motorcycles and scooters, it will always be the former. It doesn’t matter which motorcycle it is, as long as it is one. But then does that mean that scooters are boring lumps of metal and plastic rolling on puny wheels? Yes and no.
Yes, because most scooters puttering out there are designed to take on commuter duties, more as a subtitle to motorcycles who have been doing it for decades while still being enjoyable. And no, because there are a few whose existence as scooters is more to do with fun than just mundane commuting. But we can’t just accept that without riding them, can we? And so here are three of the coolest scooters right now — the NTorq 125, the Ray-ZR 125 Street Rally and the Storm 125. Let’s find out if they fit the bill, shall we?
Which is the better looker?

HISTORY CHANNEL
When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
