Well it saddens me that 7 after I bought my mint 2005 KYMCO ZX50 I had to take her back to the guy I got her from. This past Monday(Thanksgiving/Columbus day). The reason being that Richard(who is a great guy) was selling it on behalf of a third party, and after waiting and trying for 7 months to get the ownership(title) so I can put her back on the road the guy(don't know his name) still wasn't co-operating so I had to bring her back to Richard for my $600 back. He wasn't happy but neither was I or my wife. But not was a total loss as on Tuesday afternoon as I was trolling Kijiji(No one really uses Craig's list here) I just happen upon an ad for a 2002 Yamaha Vino(posted just minutes before I got on) and for the low price of just $500. Holy Shit I acted fast. Left a prompt message with the seller and she called me back all with in the first two hours of her posting the ad. Well shortening a long story as of late yesterday afternoon my wife and I are now the owners of matching yes both Wine coloured 2001/02 Yamaha Vinos (yeah I know her and I on the same coloured scooters how cute ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) ). Best part is she wants the same mods that are on my Vino(Stage6 Parts) so performance should be very similar. But I'm going to buy some wrap and change the colour on hers to an Emerald or Hunter Green(her Favorite colour) pluse she need mirrors and a few new parts for my scooter(that she wont know about) and we are good to go. Pictures will come tomorrow after I get home from work as the kiddies are playing outside.

Nope only rode the ZX50 twice while in my possession. No plates or insurance didnt want any prpblems so stayed in my garage the whole time never moved. Wife was happy with the ZX50 but is happier with Vino simply because we got the ownership with it.

Yeah we will. I'm just in the process of ordering parts to make hers faster and louder. Never realized just how quite the OEM exhaust is on these things were.

Just ordered the parts I need. The old OEM pipe will be gone most likely by next week. Also got new Mirrors and Variator for her and a new kick start lever for me(devil)

The fun part is that in my area from the beginning of September a total of 15 Vinos from '02-'05 have bin up for sale with prices in the $750-1000 range(all prices CDN ![(lol2)](//storage.proboards.com/2855264/images/JzAGJgGeCvLvxsJMnTfX.gif) ). And that number doesn't include the 125cc or FourStroke models(balloons to over 30). So yeah I got(sorry wife) a gem. Shoot it's cheaper then what I payed for mine two years ago($650) with 20K less Kilometers to boot. Oh well, but it's going to be fun tearing up the streets of Toronto on our two very loud, very fast matching Vinos ![(scoot2)](//storage.proboards.com/2855264/images/VHqGPYmdBBeIXQdIDXvH.gif)
