are these good scoots???
Though a "dated" design ....... they are fine scoots.
You may want to re-think the price though. Locally folks seem to ask about $700-$900 FOR THEM IN GOOD CONDITION (running, without plastic damage, good tires, etc). I *suspect* they sell for closer to $500, maybe less, and take a while to sell.
The appearance is "dated", and not the current "racy" look, and the front brake is a drum brake.
You can build the engine out to 125cc though!
I would expect, for 2 in pieces (with titles), to pay no more than $200 ($100 each), and have one myself, that I am working on, when I get the time.
