In Houstan they allow you to sell the remaining registration and plates with the bike? He says the tags are good and ready to ride. Maybe just poor choice of language and he is trying to let folks know that its still registered so it can be taken for a test ride. They do that here in Cali ,,,if there are months of registration still left they don't double charge,,,it's just the transfer fees and tax,,,which is unbelievable because the gang in sacramento is as greedy and careless with their budget as could possibly be imagined,,, |

Your guy's photography sux, this guy went WAY overboard-- kansascity.craigslist.org/mcy/6019733423.htmlAlso, "It is the only 500cc Maxiscooter on the market."--uh, so what about Kymco's Xciting? Piaggio's MP3? And why is this guy who's located in Okie-city advertising in KC when he won't ship or allow anyone except the Buyer Himself to get it? >'Kat |

The new tech 350's though are better values since they give similar performance while delivering 20 to 30 more MPG. That guy appears to love his Armor All and really gooped up the bike. At least he didn't grease up the seat with it. Once you start down the Armor All trail it really makes the plastics deteriorate faster afterwards. |

Here a seller who lets you ride off on their tags is sending you off on their insurance. If you cancel the insurance then you have to turn in the tags or they put out a bulletin on you and a hold on your license renewal. Cuts down on the number of unlicensed drivers/riders being able to get a hold of vehicles with valid tags on them since each owner has to qualify on their own merit and can't simply scan Craigs list for vehicles being sold with tags with several months left on them. This is all to crack down on uninsured vehicles and unlicensed drivers/riders. There are way too many of these across the country. |

In Florida, as you well know, there is no requirement for insurance on motorcycles or scooters...  However, if an 18-year-old male (my son) doesn't have the money to pay for car insurance, and doesn't own or drive a car, and still lives in your house, and the insurance company tries to add him to your car insurance because he 'is in your household", there are 3 options - he moves out, he turns in his license, or he gets scooter insurance - guess which my son did!    $120/month or $70/year? Which would YOU choose?  So, my son rides with Flo - and/or the "Box Guy"...    |

And if he does drive you are still liable for anything his insurance does not cover even if the son/daughter is a legal adult as long as they live or even receive their mail at your street address more than a few weeks (possibly months) out of the year then you are liable even if your 100 years old and their 80. Gold diggers who hit people in the left turn lane on purpose to milk the system claiming the other person was not completely stopped and waiting take advantage of the automatic at fault when making a left turn and will clean out the max cap on the adult childs policy, then go after their parents policy capping it and then try to go after the parents savings or equity if the numbers are large enough to make it worth their while. You have to take photographs and get your own investigator out there right away as the police most times will start moving things about and corrupt the accident scene if there are no fatalities, life flights or such. The only way to be 100% safe from this is if your kids don't get their license to drive at all and move out as soon as they do get their drivers license. On motorcycle insurance not being required that is a misnomer to a degree as there are some "IF's" involved. Think Cinderella and the Evil Stepmother - "I didn't really say yes I said 'IF'...." |

On motorcycle insurance not being required that is a misnomer to a degree as there are some "IF's" involved. Think Cinderella and the Evil Stepmother - "I didn't really say yes I said 'IF'...." Dear sweet mercy FL sounds whacked up. My bros & I were ALL on our parents' insurance through college. In fact, I was on Mom's a couple years after, even. Then she flipped us, made me the primary driver on the car I drove's policy while she was the secondary. Then I quit my job (the vet suxed as a business manager, plus became verbally abusive) and she took her name off, just in case I was in an accident so there was no link to her for a lawsuit. (edit--that's why my insurance policy is a year younger than I am. I plan to hand it down to a niece at some point, doing the same thing. So she'll have a policy that's about 40 years older than her, ha!) And I believe we don't have any automatic at-fault rules, although rear-ending is pretty much a given. But not completely--my bro got rear-ended and shoved into the car in front of him (so technically, he rear-ended it), but that was also ruled the other guy's fault. Stupid to have any rules pre-declaring fault. >'Kat |

A 350 2 Stroke fools a lot of people as they are pretty fast bikes more akin to the 650 to 750 4 Stroke bikes of their time.
This ones a bit too stripped down for me. I would prefer to have the front and rear fenders myself to keep the kick up of road debris down and the engine cleaner.
