What do you guys think of this new ride?
I saw this for sale and it only had 33.5 original miles so I bought it. It is huge compared to an elite.
Seems well built and liquid cooled, disc front and rear.

Great scoot with a huge aftermarket. Holds its value well. You'll love the performance. The larger tires give a smoother ride while the geometry still provides good handling.
Two thumbs up.

Sweet, I spent about 1.5hours trying to find out if "replica" ment fake, then I thought it was and almost left but I drove a few hours and searched on my phone some more. It turns out "replica" refers to the graphics of their race model put on the street model. I ran the vin and found it was indeed made in Italy, and ended up paying 760.00. I think I will try to find another sometime, I like the braking power for the money. Too bad I have to leave for awhile I have a bunch of scooter stuff to finish modding!eliteguy50 wrote:Great scoot with a huge aftermarket. Holds its value well. You'll love the performance.

I've watched a few go by on C/L at 1.5 - 2k. Never spent much time looking due to cost but should be watching for a deal
Re: What do you guys think of this new ride?
Wow! That's a good deal!!!!!!
Re: What do you guys think of this new ride?
Wow, you absolutely stole that bike. They are impressive once unrestricted.
Re: What do you guys think of this new ride?

Re: What do you guys think of this new ride?
Right on guys,are they restricted only on the Variator and pipe?
yes Mouse, you never know what might fall on craiglist. This was in a 60 year old womans garage collecting dust. I think her husband bought it on impulse and they split. Thats where I came in.
I think the gauges are pretty weak considering how much the bike costs new. But thats not a big deal, the cool thing is it reads to 70mph for when I build her up.
