You can get a used concho for around $750.00 USD. A new one for maybe $1200.00

The Dominican concho-style motorcycles are like the family sedan’s of USA.

A scooter (Pasola) is like an entry level bachleor’s vehicle, but you can still carry a chicken, your spouse, and two children at the same time, as is the DR custom.

I’d recommend a Yamaha Sarrow (dirt/trail bike), as you can get it repaired VERY easily, even if you break down in the middle of nowhere. However, the concho would be even cheaper and easier to fix.

It’s what I saw in the Dominican Republic when I lived and worked in Jarabacoa for two years… a live chicken on each handlebar. :-)
