Scoot can't weigh that much, HD fatboys weigh in at that weight. Something isn't right, scoot should weigh in around 300lbs give or take.

Do a national craigslist search for a scoot you want, for me there were no lance dealers to do warranty work close by. I saw a lot of Kymco like 200i's for sale for $1999. That's a lot of bike for 2k, efi, dual disc, top box etc. Mine was a 12 model but still brand new w/warranty, free delivery too from 150 mi away.

Anyone in the Denver area wants this for $5 it's yours. That's what it cost me, brand new in the box. PM me if interested. This will fit other scooters not sure which ones though.

What brand scooter is this, just saying Chinese doesn't mean a $700 scooter is the culprit. Taiwanese and some of their brands are made in china and they're not cheap........maybe the scooters were totaled due to damages exceeding 60% of value like a car would be.

Well the thieves spray painted the whole bike some color, don't know which color but it was decided that it's a total loss. They're charging one guy with agg motor vehicle theft 1st degree. That agg and 1st degree means those are some serious charges in this state. I found a new like 200i on craigs for $1999 from a dealer 150mi away, free delivery too. Buying it tonight. I really liked that blur but oh well, life happens.

Went with the scooterdynasty belt, thanks. OK now the million $ ?. Is this belt easy to change, what parts need to come off, any advice? I've worked on a lot of stuff but never a scooter variator/belt before.

Remember when buying from a dealer you can add $3/600 to the price for fees/taxes/dealer handling etc.

Check out the kymco agility 125, one review site says it's the best quality scoot [125/150 class] new for under 2 grand. Buy a good used scoot off of craigs, quality brand low milage. For your $amount you could get a nice scooter. I waited looking for months to get a deal. I found an 06 blur 150 with only 400 miles on it and it's pristine. That's a $3500 [new] bike for $1500, anyways just an example.......good luck!

Is a buddy 150 belt the same as a blur 150? Looked one up on scooterworks site and they only list a buddy 150 belt.

Because of a glitch in my DL I won't be able to legally drive this thing till sept, anyways it seems a new belt is needed and I will change it. Any advice where to buy one where it isn't a cheap knockoff? Seems from some posts I've read it needs to be a gates or a bando right?

Is the belt on this thing good to rely on or because of age it should be replaced? 06 blur 150. Don't want any issues but don't want to spend money needlessly either.........FYI anyone needs a HF197 oil filter you can find them on ebay for $5, under $10 with shipping.

I talk here but if I went to a biker bar that would NOT happen. I like getting older.

It's not that HDs suck, it's the owners where the problem is.
