I sold my award winning 1959 Cushman Super Eagle for $5,500 last year. Never thought I'd go back to motorscooters until I crashed my Goldwing, suffering two broken arms and a broken pelvis. Got the itch for Cushman scooters again. Bought a 2016 Eagle model with 400 miles on it for $5,000. I thought it was overpriced, but considering the modernization, and the cost to modernize an old flathead Cushman scooter, it's all relative. The thing I don't like about this modern version is that the drive belt squeals when accelerating from a dead stop. However, I do like the 14 hp instead of 7, the disc brakes instead of drum brakes, the halogen headlight instead of incandescent (halogen won't function with a magneto system), the turn signals, the electric starter with pull cord back up, and not having to shift a two speed crash box. I think a much more fair price for the 2016 Cushman would have been in the neighborhood of about $3,000, but you can't find one for that price. Maybe one day I'll put a motorcycle engine into this frame if I can find one in good shape.
