idk man... that price seems legit, thats home to UWM so scoots are going to command a higher price... plus ive seen people charge almost double that for some GY6 garbage, where that baby is hard core HONDA!!! :p

I was just there this weekend and uwm has a very diverse market but you could buy an af16e elite and replace all the plastics for that price. But that is the cherry-est E I have seen and it is a great reference for new pics.

Greetings:

Looks like the danged "1" key keeps double-typing. :)
Truly a nice find, but there are more attractive options for that kind of money.
If you really REALLY want a vintage Honda, I guess...

they are defiantly pretty bikes... and if i was not into this whole "going dangerously fast on a moped" kick i would love to have a super clean one to slowly cruise around town on 8)

as a matter of fact, an elite E is what i want to get for my wife (lookin at you Eft)

Actually it looks like a clean EliteE but not exceptional. Price is about two to three times the going rate around here. Particularly when you consider it is at the end of the season in Wisconsin.

Did anybody notice at then end of the words for the ad it said "We're asking $1150 or best offer for this scooter." The operative word is "WE'RE" and it sounds like a blind dealer ad, which is illegal here for a good reason.

I just figured it was a guy who was making his 70 year old dad clean out the garage type of thing. I see a lot of that around here...its how I got my ct70.
