@Julio
Isn't the < 50cc rule clear enough? Anything larger, and you're pretty motocycle-ish. (With more euro-style, naturally.)

Except that's not the rule. See the previous post and the DMV document here.

To NOT be considered a motorcycle, a scooter must meet all of these:
1) wheels more than 16 inches in diameter
2) automatic transmission
3) piston displacement of not more than fifty (50) cubic centimeters
4) incapable of maximum speed of over 35 miles per hour on level ground
5) not more than one-half (1.5) brake horsepower (S.A.E. rating).

Most scooters fail to meet #5, and plenty fail #4 and #1
