Thanks for the input everyone!! Admittedly, I definitely can go over budget pretty easily- it's more that I'm terribly impatient, and the longer I have to save the less time I have before Wisconsin gets too darn cold to play with my new toy ;P so $2000 is kind of my ideal max, haha
Alright, so these are both statements I keep hearing a lot and my big question is- does the "don't buy a chinese scooter if you can't work on them" thing still apply to a chinese scooter that most people seem to agree is pretty top quality for what it is? Because I'll admit right off the bat that I know next to nothing about mechanic stuff, but the Valor does seem like a pretty solid option for me. I'm fine with riding something a little on the lower-quality side, but I don't want to have to put a lot of work/money into it right off the bat just to make it work. At that point it makes more sense to just spend the extra $600ish and get a mid-quality ride x:
I'll definitely keep in mind that I should be looking for something new- there's an awful lot of tempting offers for used mid-range scooters in my budget, but I guess more likely than not I'll end up sinking enough money into repairs that it won't really matter, huh..? There sure is a lot to consider
To make a long story short, Chinese scooters can be fine IF, and ONLY if you're willing to really work them over to get the bugs out.
I currently own 2 Bintelli's, for "Chinese Scooters", They're one of the best brands you can select...i
