its slightly used, only 23miles. I am in the process of legalizing it. I paid in full and in cash, and got it for quite a bargain too.
Still the retail price of $1500 isnt too bad either. It looks awesome and comes with a remote alarm, remote start, painted rims, italian exhaust, a lot of other stuff. heres another site for it, some of the engine specs are off though:

Are the rims Rattlecanned or Powdercoated? What color is it? Only 23 miles? Where did you buy it from?

lol, ur just full of questions.
I believe the wheels are powdercoated, mine is the same color as on both sites, red and black. yes only 23 miles, but a few minor scratches and cracks from falling over once before. I bought it from a private dealer not too far away from me.

That's pretty cool, I ask so many questions because I'm looking to get some other type of scooter, because the Spree just isn't cutting it for me any more
. Well, I shouldn't say that, I love my Spree, but I wouldn't mind having something a bit faster, I'm stick in the dirt bike craze. Plus, there's nothing wrong with asking questions, even though I know you didn't mean anything by it.

I have a 599cc scooter. Do you guys use your scoots for everyday transport? I wouldn't think of using my spree for anything other than running to 7-11 for milk or Autozone for misc s***. It really doesn't travel more than a couple miles from my house. For longer travel or to work, I just take the CBR.

Ya, I only ride my Spree around the hood, but sometimes I take it in the river bottom and ride it all day. But I don't satnd a chance keeping up with my friend's '93 YZ250, or my other friend's YZF250, or my other friend's YZ125. lol, I gotta get a dirt bike.

Most streetbikes don't have a chance of keeping up with those larger dirt bikes either acceleration wise.

I doubt it, but acceleration wise it might. That's probably what you were trying to say anyways.

A large two stroke dirt bike will out-accelerate a 4 stroke streetbike any day of the week.

2stroke = better aceleration > 4 stroke acceleration
1 power stroke every 2 cycles as oppose to 1 every 4 cycles.
