The scooter is probably faster.

Reliability? Bah. Takes the romance and adventure right out of it, don't you think? Besides, there's plenty of space for tools, and it even has a spare! A fucking spare! I would WANT to get a flat, just so I could say, with puffed out (man-tit) chest, skyward look, and exaggerated voice "Yep. That's right. I got a flat. I used the spare." Standing next to the bike in front of a diner, smudge of grease on forehead, disheveled yet energetic, confident, afternoon sun lit look. Swooning girls asking if they could go for a ride. "Oh ladies, I'm sorry, I can only take two of you."
Ok. Standing on the side of a hot, dusty rural road, finishing up the call to roadside assistance, covered in grease, watching Jimmy, the pot-bellied, bacon-scented, HD shirt wearing flatbed driver who is winching the Ural up the ramp mutter something under his breath about how this POS would be no match for his bike. Cars whizzing by with annoyed looks on the driver's faces. No swooning girls, just a cow on the other side of the fence, looking at you with disdain as it loudly shits.
Speed? I know... they barely maintain interstate speed. Perfect. Interstates are for getting somewhere quickly. I would rather enjoy the ride along the way.
It would be nice to take my wife and/or kids for rides. They could get out and push the bike up hills.
