Give it a couple of weeks or months mate, it will then be winter and you'll find some cheap scoots roaming on ebay. Thats what i noticed anyway, you'll probs end up finding a nice special for 700

And remember, don't rush yourself. One will come sooner or later. When going to view one check: Underneath the floor for corrosion and holes. Leaks underneath the engine, even feel under the engine for leaks as there could be a crack in the casings. Tell them to crank it over to seem how it runs, even ask for a possible go of it. M.O.T is best if it's got it. Also if they've got the v5 in their name even better.

V5 is the keepers documents of the scooter, so it will have all the scoots make, model, year bla bla bla. And the persons name who owns it, you need it to get insurance for it

You'd need to register it. If there is a number plate you can do it using that.
If not you'd need to register it on the chassis number. This is normally the case when the bike has been imported from outside the UK
Can be problematic if the frame / bike turns out to have been stolen.
There should be no shortage of PK50's that are all legit though so wait until one with the V5 / logbook turns up
