A newer-ish but used scooter of sufficient size (150-250cc) is gonna run you $1200-2500. More for a vespa. Given the rough road conditions I think you will find the small diameter tires a problem. A little older bike, perhaps a dual purpose 200-250cc like any KawaSuzHonYama, would be much more logical given the conditions you're talking about riding in. Gas mileage difference would be negl;igible and the price would be lower than a scooter. Once you start getting above 40 mph or so on a scooter with small diameter tires, it can get down right skittish and braking can be an "exciting" experience.
