it is no fun work on big scooter and parts cost way more than moped!
Belt is $100
dont judge by look of a scooter.

yea dude i never got it, the guy wouldnt work my deal i had in a trade and after i looked up some of the parts i declined his offer. he now has a geely for sale 350.00(no thanks) and a urban something(non honda) for 250. missing all the rear palstics,no dice but i do have my eye on an ETon Beamer 50cc with a minerialli clone. 375. i may bite if i cant find a decent eliete(dio).

I woulda took the XC180. there are very few of those here in the statesides. They're 180cc, 4 stroke, and will run 75-80MPH. I almost got one a few weeks ago.
The reason parts are expensive is because Yamaha has to import them from England - where a majority of those Riva 180's were sold.
The bike is worth well over $1,000 in good running shape with plastic all beat up.
