noticed this as cant sell used scooters at the moment. new riders arent learning, and those that do are buying throw away chinese.
going for the older car drivers they dont need to do a cbt if they can get away with a scoot, I look after one for a 45 year old and have rebuilt the motor so many times as he is running it down straights at full bore that Ive just had to swap the motor. he wont do cbt or direct access due to cost, as he can get a small car instead!!
we keep trying to convince him that a bike is cheaper but he just wont.
its just the same as back in the seventies, as soon as I passed my car test I didnt need the bike. mates to carry round, family to carry , the mini has a lot to answer for.
