Yamaha 2007 C3 Scooter

With gas prices going up and up, scooters are a great alternative vehicle for in-town travel. The latest one we're looking at is the Yamaha 2007 C3 ($2000). A liquid-cooled, three-valve four-stroke engine keeps you running for a long time on just 1.2 gallons of gas, while the old-school "box" design does more than just look great — the underseat storage compartment holds up to nine gallons of gear. Add to the mix a motorcycle type fork and push-putton starting, and you've got a fine-looking vehicle that will get you around without breaking your bank account. [Thanks, Jon!]
