Scooters are usually bought to save money against a car or against public transport. Whether they actually do depends on numbers that nobody publishes in one place.
Let's collect them.

Model, year and mileage:
Country and city:
Annual distance:
Riding: (all urban / mixed / mostly faster roads)
Fuel consumption — and whether that's from the dash or calculated at the pump:
Annual insurance and insurer:
Annual road tax or equivalent:
Cost of your last service and what was done:
Tyre life and replacement cost:
Belt replacement cost, if you've had one:
What it replaced: (car / public transport / another bike)
Roughly what it saves you per year:Two things worth noting when you post
Dashboard consumption readouts are frequently optimistic. Say which figure you are giving.
Urban riding uses noticeably more fuel than steady running and wears tyres and brakes faster. A figure without context is not comparable, so describe your riding.
