Some people don't know the differece between a motor scooter and a motorcycle. This includes the nice folks down at DMV, in most states. Here in Tennessee, if you go to register a motor scooter, it becomes a motorcycle. It makes no difference that it is 58 years old and won't go much over 35 mph. They insist that it's a motorcycle. Well, for those folks, should they ever happen to surf into this site, this is a motorcycle. Some would say it is a "tricked out" motor cycle, but nobody in there right mind would call it a motor scooter. Oh, I suppose a few state employees might, but not if they were in their right mind.
I found this one in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
If you want to compare, just scroll down and you will see a Honda C 70, lots of Cushmans, and numerous other scooters. Keep scrolling.
