i found my 50cc locally for 300 bucks. (used) it was a really decent chinese scooter and probably still out there running. i found my 250cc semi locally for 1000 bucks with 80 miles on it. this scooter was a total pain in the butt until i ironed out all the problems with it. after i ironed out the problems, she was a real screamin' queen. so beware, there are good ones and bad ones. The problem is she just went through this and would have had to replace literally every single thing besides the crank and topend. Luckily she found someone who wanted to buy it off her for parts for the same amount she bought it for so I told her to just get a new one to avoid that again and have been helping her to find one since. The scooters at killermotorsports seem nice A lot of people on here have bought their scooters from Killers |

Laugh at me if you want, scooter, but according to Ford it isn't really a CVT tranny. Although that seems to be what most folks call them. The Ford mech said it's some sort of double-clutch system that makes a manual automatic. Which is even more "whatever" from me. The actual jargonese is in my sig-line. If it means anything more to you.  >'Kat |
