I bought a Honda Big Ruckus at a phenomenal price several years ago after the seller claimed it only needed a carb cleaning because it hadn't run in a couple of years. Guess what. It hadn't been run because it was in a flood and every bearing in it was corroded. After a great deal of time, effort and cash it was disposed of. Chinese scooters aren't the only Lemons out there.
In defense of used scooters though, my 2009 Fashion has been a model of good behavior. It suffered a known problem unrelated to prior abuse but has been a trusted friend for two years now.
