Hi there,
While in no way trying to turn you off a GZ, Aprilia is a well known brand, here in Spain. Seems to be reliable, because lots of people have them. When you say scoot, I imagine you mean an automatic. They all have belts. My first two wheels over here was a cheepo, used, Peugeot scooter. O.K., so the belt snapped, but that bike had MANY years & MANY kilometers under its belt. Chains or belts will both wear over time.
If you're talking chains/belts on bikes, although I've never had a bike with a belt final drive, people tend to say that they're quieter & need less maintenance than chains. Some of the latest belts are reinforced with Kevlar etc., so I don't reckon there'll be any problems. :2tup:
