If you would have to choose a bike between a Korean Hyosung GV 250 (http://biketrend.blogspot.com/2008/07/2008-hyosung-gv250-aquila.html)
chopper and an Italian Piaggio Beverly Cruiser 250 (http://www.scootersales.com.au/Gallery-671-scooternews.aspx) maxi-scooter, which
one would you choose and why? (They basically cost the same...)

They are completely different bikes aimed at completely different markets. You can't really compare the two. So, like Riz said, depends where ya gonna ride it.

If i could have only one, it would be the Triumph Rocket III (http://www.triumph.co.uk/uk/Triumph_Rocket_III_7686.aspx) ;)

Well, I consider myself a motorcyclist that actually enjoys RIDING a motorcycle. IMHO cruiser are a 100% poser bike. So , the scooters say you are green friendly.

Well I tried sitting on this Hyosung VT 250 and the feeling is kinda between
a classic bike and cruiser. As for which one is the greener, I'd say they're
not that far from each other, this is a 250ccm engine in the scooter as well.

It's generally considered the opposite here in the UK.
Cruisers are for those that ride for the love of bikes and riding. 'Posers' go out on sport bikes [CBR's GSXR's etc. are typical] and only in fair weather. Ride in the rain? they say. Never!

... So , the scooters say you are green friendly.Anything with two wheels is seen as green friendly, here - compared to vehicles with 4+ wheels. :)
