Actually something I was going to mention earlier is that the kicker for me for a 100+ CC would be if it was EFI, I'd really enjoy an EFI bike. The E-Charm would be my dream but they're getting so hard to find...

I got a warning ticket for going 72 MPH on an interstate on my Echarm . With 15,500 it still can go that fast and only mods are NGK iridium and 12g Dr Pulley sliders

Mine has 16 inch wheels and I had them balanced it makes a huge diff . When I had a TaoTao ATM hitting top speed was scarey as it is unstable . My 2T with 130/60/13s I can ride with no hands even in a gale with no worries

Ehhhh gettin there, price is certainly right and I'm intrigued, but having had "the real deal" I'm really hesitant to get a motorcycle with less than a 250, taking it on the highway was like my favorite part of my Ninja. I would probably prefer manual shifting over 2-stroke if it came down to that though. Does a 4-spd water cooled EFI 150cc exist in any form anywhere in the world? Would fit my bill perfectly hahaha.

She can hold her own with and even exceed the perfromance of most 4t 150 cc sized scoots
Take care and ride safely

If you decide to go this route, be aware that the Genuine 2 year warranty and roadside assistance is only good for the original owner. This applies to all their scoots.
$1500 for a gently used RoughHouse is a screaming deal, especially if it's been derestricted. Well constructed scooter, will do an honest 45 to 50 mph with no other mods other than removing the restrictions. I can personally vouch for this.
A brand new one will run ya around $2200 before taxes by the time dealer prep etc is added.

I figured the warranty probably only applied to the original owner but the fact that it even has one says it all! So from the warranty date I can infer it's about a year and a half old and it says it has 900 mi on it... windshield and top box included, dealer derestricted. There's a '13 w/ 3k mi listed for $2000... no thanks, a local dealer has a new Rambler 110 on clearance for $1800 (plus taxes and fees and what not). But starting to get out of my price range comfort zone at $2000 and the 50cc would be plenty adequate for me.
