13 years is the longest time in my life that I have not owned a motor scooter or motorcycle, enough is enough.
Shortly after selling my Honda Goldwing in 1995, I broke my tailbone at work. I thought my riding days were over as my tailbone bothered me for years.
For my 60th birthday (on the 22nd of May), I bought a small light weight motorcycle. They used to be called enduro bikes or street and trail but are now referred to as dual-purpose. I wanted something that was light weight so I can carry it on the back of our camper but still be fast enough for the highway.
It is a Lifan 200GY-5, make in China. It has a 200cc engine and will run about 75mph and get about 65-75mpg on gas. I plan on commuting to work on it (weather permitting).

Happy 60th birthday! Great gas saver for the summer months too.
Happy 60th! Cool bike, too. I'm interested in how well it holds up, so keep us posted!
