In Texas, What do I need to own/operate a “Vespa” scooter?

I hope to get a large engine, but I don’t know if getting one that is big enough to warrant me having to get a motorcycles license. What engine size requires this? Also, what is typical insurance? Lower, or higher than motor vehicle insurance? Also, do they last as long as cars, or less? Are tag/title costs lower than a car? or higher?

I believe that if it can exceed 30 mph and has an engine larger than 50cc you will need a MC endorsement on your license. MC Insurance is considerably lower than auto. Tags are cheaper. As far as life span, it depends on how well you take care of it. Below is a link to the Texas DOT.
