I imagine cookee, being a knowledgeable scooter dude, gave that scoot, that he rode for a year and then sold, a thorough pdi and also regular and meticulous maintenance in addition to a thorough check prior to sale...

However you're not alone, I generally buy one new scoot per year (actually my track record for the past 2 years was 1 scoot per 6 months. I sell my old one, and buy a better suited one. So far, my fleet exists of a 50cc TaoTao ATM, an EVO150, and a VT750 motorcycle. I'm still juggling around, but since MPG is most important to me, I wished I had purchased following line-up: - Honda PCX125 for 90% of the trips - Suzuki TU250X For the medium and large trips Should I not have gotten a PCX125, I would have gone for a PCX150, or a TaoTao PowerMax 150. I'm still doubting between the TU250X, and the S40. The Suzuki Boulevard S40 is not fuel injected, but if it was, hopefully it's fuel mileage would increase, and I would have gotten that one. I don't really need a big motorcycle, but I'm kind of a fan of single cylinder motorcycles now. The issue with having 2 cylinders, and still being able to get home on one cylinder should the other fail, has never happened to me. If I ever am going to continue traveling with my wife at large distances again, I probably would go for a Yamaha V-star 950. |

Yep, had my business partner, Mike, go over the 260 top to bottom. Fresh oil and fresh gas.
Had him fully prep the SYM Wolf Classic. Took it out on Saturday. Three words....O...M...G...! What a great little bike.

That's my Mainstreet that Spandi mentioned earlier. His name is Linny.....LOL. Very fun to ride. I have had some issues since purchasing last year, but I mostly attribute those to the fact that he sat for his first 6 years in a garage, Only had 1300 miles on it when purchased. Sitting is not good for these machines. Am needing a few parts like a water temp sensor and heat guage. Also thinking I need a larger fan. Any ideas?
