Did you notice Jess's snarky comment over there about me posting? I wonder who told him since I doubt he would lower himself to come to a forum he doesn't control on his own.

Perhaps Jess's comments are a Vespa thing. If you still visit that site the current bicker point is KYMCO vs. Vespa. Poor OldScoot is caught up in that mess because he has both and voted KYMCO. If I had a good KYMCO dealer in my area I'd probably own a KYMCO myself. Great quality and easy to self service.
Before I forget, the Eliminator was marked down to $4999.00 for Memorial Day at my local Kawasaki dealer. I never made it to the dealership on Saturday so I guess the urge of a new bike isn't that strong for me. I was curious about the OTD price. I've never owned a Kawasaki product. Owned: Honda scooters and motorcycles. Suzuki scooters. Vespa, both vintage and modern. Lambretta scooters, obviously vintage. Yamaha scooters and motorcycles. Genuine scooters. SYM scooter. ADLY scooter. Hyosung scooter. Friend had a Hyosung motorcycle. Buell motorcycle. KYMCO scooter. Can-Am Spyder (wife had one, I did the service work) WAIT, my roommate purchased a very used Ninja 250 for $400. Needed top end work. We used to fight over that bike. Went forever on a tank of fuel and was crazy easy to ride. That was a truely great bike! Sure I'm forgetting some but if I did it's for a reason. The Buell was the worst. Heat made it terrible (not the later Rotax model) and it was all primitive. Never left me stranded though. |

It's funny but my main bikes stayed a long time with me. Despite my time I have a few worth mentioning and several short time and forgettable models.
Chief on that list is a 2005 Honda Big Ruckus. I can honestly tell you it felt heavier than my CF Moto Fashion and a lot slower. One day my late wife blew me into the weeds leaving the house on her 250 Rebel. She was shifting and I was twist and going. It wasn't even close.
