no, but I'm finishing on a scooter. Old age has set upon my, stretching my leg over is getting tougher, I decided it's time for a step through. I didn't go as small as a 50cc, Got myself a Kymco AK550, Kymco's flagship model. Get's up to a ton real quick
 
um
In my view the biggest difference is managing the weight and controlling the bike mainly with handlebar, throttle and brake inputs. Like with bicycles, you can manhandle a really small scooter and never develop a good sense for it. Their tiny wheels and steep rake angles also make for twitchy handling that doesn't translate well to a larger machine.
Um, no, biggest difference is twist and go, no shifting, and that lever on the left is not a clutch

going from scooter to bike is like going from auto trans to standard trans in a car, or vice versa that pedal, or lever on the left is a brake, but there is no seatbelt like a car, if you grab too much
