Just Picked up a 2013 Pioneer 150-T scooter (Jonway on the Cert of Origination). It looks like an Aprilia SR50 knockoff. It has 300 miles on the odo, and has sat for most of this year (according to the owner). It cost me $400 and came with helmet and scooter cover. The scooter starts and idles. I am picking it up next Saturday.
This is my first scoot, and I am a reasonably mechanical person ( have changed transmissions, clutches, rebuilt riding mowers, etc.). I am an EE/CS (both degrees), so I can troubleshoot electrical issues as well.
I have been wanting a scooter since my first wife and I went to Grand Cayman for a week in the early
's. We spent a week on a scooter and ... it was great! I am doing THIS scooter because I could get a reasonably new, low mileage scooter for very cheap.. (BTW, $300-$400 low mileage 150cc scooters that sort of run actually do come up for sale here on a regular basis.)
Anyway, I am sure I'll have lots of questions along the way as I discover the care and feeding of the GY6
