I bought a moped something like thirty years ago just to bop around town.
It was a 50cc Puch Maxi.  It would barely do 30 mph but it was fun and a
gallon of gas would go something like 100 miles IIRC.  I've ridden a few
scooters since but nothing in the way of a true motorcycle.

Cool looking bike.  Here's a picture of the one I'm thinking of buying.
This isn't the specific bike just the same model.

That's encouraging since the bike I'm thinking of is exactly that -- 250cc.
I'm not planning any cross-country or even long distance day drives.  I just
want something to run to the beach or pop over to see friends around town.

True.  I've also been told that starting out with a powerful bike is a good
way to get splattered.

This one's from Kawasaki but it's called a Ninja.  I've seen a "Rebel 250"
but I think it's made by Honda.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  There's one other
bike that I've heard is supposed to be a good entry model.  It's from Yamaha
and they call it the Virago.  Have you seen either of these and if so, what
was your impression?
