All these honda scooters are that way. Unplug the switch and the motor runs. You stop it with the "stop/run" switch
HOWEVER you will have no tail or brake lights and the turn signals will not work and the gauges will be dead. The headlight will light though.

The ignition switch is where you put the key to make it run before.

You know that shiny thing that you are missing that goes into the slotted hole?? If you had it it would go vrrrooommm.
But, since you dont you need to unplug it.

At the ignition connect the RED and BLACK
(not black with a white stripe) wires after you unplug it, So you can have taillights and blinkers.

Not if he jumpers the red and black wires, then the electrics will work normally.

Responders on this board are sharp with electricals.
Unplug the existing ignition switch, then add whatever switch you decide - key, hidden toggle switch etc. Wire as 'Jamz and Bear say. Normally open Red wire to Black wire connection is closed by your new switch, when you want the starting circuit and other Vbatt switched circuits powered (such as horn, taillight, brake light and starter relay). As 'plankton says, you need to make this connection to get your electric start to work.
You will need to be mindful to always turn your switch off after you kill the engine with the 'Run/Stop' switch. Otherwise, your taillight will deep discharge your battery while you are gone. Deep discharge will permanently suck life out of your battery.
