I just can't see spending that kind of dough on a piddly scooter than can barely get out of its own way. You can buy all varieties of cool second-hand, real, honest-to-goodness motorcycles for that level of coin.
A look at my local craigslist shows lots of 400-600cc Japanese bikes for less than those scooters. Probably a lot safer and cheaper to keep running too.

I know... your wife wants one because it is "cute"... just like I will own a VW beetle some day because my wife feels the same way about them.
