I make it a point to not buy machines that are uglier than I am,,,and both those early hondas both look like Kirby vacuums with big wheels,, but they are pretty much bulletproof ,,, after all they are real hondas I was thinking of some of the Red Advance brand carpet and floor scrubbers I have owned in the past. Some of the parts almost look to be interchangeable and both were equally reliable. For the money a used BV500 would probably be just about as reliable and would be much more competent on the open road. I see them pop up on Craigs List from time to time at very tempting prices with very low mileage on them. |

I had always told myself that if I found a Linhai 260 on CL in good shape, I would pounce. Found this one but, alas, I recently bought a house and just can't do it now. Ain't that the way it goes. Needs a windshield and they are hard to find. houston.craigslist.org/mcy/5935048379.html |

Looks nice! Maybe you could adapt a different windshield? It IS winter and hard to sell a bike... So... Try getting it for less than a grand, and pretend it's additional "closing cost" on the new digs!
Ride safe,
Leo in Texas

I have a 3 wheel big red 250cc ATC honda thats i think 33 years old... i just start it once a month and run it around the block and take it to my family ranch once or twice a year... it starts on the first pull every time (yes, pull start gents). Hondas really are the definition of longevity in the motora department. |

Aprilia RS50 (there are a few available and they are not restricted to 25 mph)  tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/5941864934.htmlThese are full sized sport bikes capable of speeds from 75 to 100 mph depending on how they are set up. Some also call these mopeds since they have a 49cc engine. |

The 2015 BV350 should be about $4,200 adding for the top case and "Custom Paint" if it was purchased from a dealer with a warranty. Mileage is right where it should be for a 2015 in good to excellent condition. However this being a Private Sale you have to consider that the trade-in value is $2,765 so tops on a private sale with no warranty would be about $3,500 for this bike.. $4,700 would be more than what you would pay for a leftover 2015 BV350 new off the showroom floor. Here are some more realistic offerings on a BV: 2013 BV350 - 11,354 Miles - $2,600 By Owner: fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/mcy/5904913314.html2014 BV350 - 14,341 Miles - $3,000 From Dealer: tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcd/5929684574.html2010 BV500 - 4,900 Miles - $3,200 By Owner (yes he is asking dealer price but mileage is less than half of what a 2010 should have): sarasota.craigslist.org/mcy/5912339205.htmlSome deals out there on the Sport City 250: 2009 Sport City 250 - 2,800 Miles - $1,900 By Owner: tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/5870264936.html2009 Sport City 250 - 5,400 Miles - $2,350 By Owner (basing his price on the old $4,699 MSRP (not the actual $2,999 they were selling for the last few years they were available. The 2009 sold new until about 2014) and has been dropping the price every few months. I would offer $1,600 and walk away if he insists on more than $1,700): tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/5953011792.html |
