I start university later this year and I want to start planning everything about it. I will be staying at home, at least for the first year, and I live roughly 15 miles from the campus. I live right next to a train station so I could use that, but I want to independence that comes with my own vehicle, and since I can't afford a car it would have to be a bike. I was wondering if a scooter would be suffiecient, or if I'd have to get a proper bike instead? The honda pcx 125 is mighty tempting and is just about affordable for me (with a little help from the student loan). I've done research though and people seem to be saying scooters won't do, and you'd need a proper bike. I will be on rural roads for most of the journey, with a bit of town riding at either end. Do you think I'll be able to make do with a 125 scooter or will I have to get a proper bike?
