Yep, they do look nice.

$1100-1200. No trunk, but the folding rack is standard which I like better anyway.

Let's see, when you ride that scooter of the lot it is then a used 2008 model. Worth what, $1500?

I would expect 10% off per year, or 50% off for a 5 model year old vehicle of any kind. The fact they are not willing to discount it is why they still have it sitting there. Also, CFMoto is abandoning that market, so you will probably not be able to even get parts for it.

Walking away was the smart choice.

This is a question about both the scooter and the seller, because it looks like their own branding on a BMS Premier. The only differences I see is that they left off the alloy trim for the floorboards, and They list the HP higher.

This scooter is second on my top tree list. Cross it off, or keep it there?

150

That was one of the neat things about the Vespa (and I suppose the Stella), just pop off the engine side cowl and there was the engine, gearbox and every thing hanging on the side of the wheel. I sometimes wonder how the scooter that was designed to be the cheapest possible construction became the most expensive scooter to buy?

That being the case why do you have 250+ separate?

I think that the usage is different for the three classes of scooters under 50cc are basically replacements for the 10 speed bike (OK, I am old), the the 50-249cc are the urban/suburban utility vehicles, and the 250cc are interurban commuter and weekend touring scooters. Many of the <50cc crowd are interested in souping them up to beat the laws that are the only reason the things exist. The <250cc types are interested in things that make their scoots more reliable, and the > 250 crowd seem to be interested in the things that make them more comfortable. At least that was the impression I had from the old board.

On the other hand, I do not see any earthly reason to separate air cooled and water cooled. If many people are bothered about the speed shop type articles, then maybe a separate performance modifications forum is needed.

The thing I think needs thinking about, is dealer ratings. There should be separated forums for parts and accessories, and scooter dealers, then those should be separated out into local dealers (brick and mortar) and web based vendors (if a company does both they should be rated separately for those as quite often a company does great in one venue and rather badly in the other.)

Just some things to think about.
