125cc scooter vs 125cc motorcycle?

I want to buy my first 125cc bike and want to know which is better, motorcycle or scooter (safety, comfort, etc.).

Scooters have automatic transmissions, motorcycles have manual transmission. Scooters are easier to drive, motorcycles have less problems.

Scooters are step through, motorcycles require you to throw a leg over the saddle. If you have leg/knee problems and/or are wearing a dress, a scooter is “better”.

Scooters have floorboards to keep your feet and shoes wet when the streets are rainy.

Basically, scooters have more comfort, but cost more.

Safety is same — neither scooters are motorcycles are safe or unsafe. People are unsafe.
