A second-class moped scooter is basically my home turf. Great fuel economy, cheap to maintain, no need for two-stage right turns either. And under-seat storage is practical too. From commuting to a casual weekend ride, there's nowhere this one bike can't take you. Lining up Honda and Suzuki's standards to choose between is the best kind of fun.

Articles paired with a reader-vote feature tend to end up feeling like promotion for a specific model, I think.

It's a bit odd that this feature doesn't include any manufacturers besides Yamaha and Kawasaki.

Class 2 mopeds can be ridden on a standard motorcycle license too, so I get why they appeal to such a broad range of riders.

Can't you ride a Class 2 moped without even a standard motorcycle license?

Grouping both Honda and Suzuki together makes for a convenient feature for comparing the lineups.

The low upkeep cost of 125cc scooters has an appeal that makes you want to switch once you've experienced it.

Cheap upkeep and good fuel economy make it easy to use not just for commuting but for the occasional longer ride too.
