ultimate

hi all,

i came on here in 2006 when i was considering an SV650s, in the end i went the car route and got a focus st. Now sorry if this is irrelevent to this forum but had some good advice whe i first came on this ofrum and i dont mind admitting i am clueless when it comes to bikes.
I now find myself considering a scooter of a 36 mile round trip to work and back.
if i can get a scooter and all the gear and run it for 8 months for less than 1400 quid it may make sense.
ive written off the idea of a 50cc one as i think there dangerous lackof oomph makes you even more vulnerable.
can anyone recommend a reliable scooter above 50cc that could do 60mph?
if anyone could give an idea of mpg/running costs would be great.
ill await a flaming from the hardcore bikers but i cant justify a big bike right now!
