Pretty much echo these thoughts...
My TMax is about the 20th two wheel vehicle I've owned (depending upon whether or not sting ray bicycles with a washing machine pulley and a b & s lawnmower engine count); it is by far the best...

You are on target. The scooter is still more recreational in the US than "The Primary Transportation" of it's owner.

You're a "Sick SOB" :)

No neutral that I know of... My TMax starts and idles at roughly 1,200 rpm's and begins to "Catch" at 2,000 or so (fully engaged at 2,500 rpms.

I agree price isn't as much of a "Deal" as I have seen for a lot of rides lately.
And at 240 lbs. (no offense I'm 225) I would opt for a bit bigger power plant.

my 2 cents on this topic...
The Government does nothing these days without an "Eye" towards cash flow. This action is about that make no mistake.
The "Cover" is public safety etc.... The reality is enforcement is impossible....
