They're all quite pricey at the moment, but the Zero SR looks quite good ...

My Honda cub is possibly the most fun bike I've ever had (and I've had loads) and the one I'd never sell. Prices have been really creeping up for them though and ours had a relaxed life at our house in Ireland rather than slogging around south west London

You can buy quite a few Mobylettes for £7995 ! A Honda Cub might be more competent, but also more likely to be stolen?
It looks like the cut off MOT exemption is going to be the same as road tax exemption - machines over 40 years old - which might influence future ownership decisions...

@Bad_Science
I've been thinking about getting a little scooter for commuting on. Was thinking along the lines of a Honda Cub or an imported Mobylette. Then I started looking at electric things, which are mostly very plasticky fragile looking.
Then I found this, which I love, but £8000 is a bit on the steep side!

I'm sure the combined talents of the forum could come up with something similar for way cheaper...
