I just got back from a visit to my local Honda dealer. He has a new 150cc Honda PCX scooter for sale for $2800 !!!

This has to be the no-brainer of all times. A Honda.... the gold standard of powersports... dealers everywhere....a reputation for quality no one come close to.... a bike that people put in the garage, pull it out four years later and starts right up. The Holy Grail of scooters....for $2800 ?

I can die a happy man.

If it's a 2015 model that sure is a rock bottom price. Some dealers are asking 3400+ even some used ones 2011-2013 are higher than 2800.

That's a screaming deal,,, wow

Hmmm? Sounds fishy? You know the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't?" I'd for sure want to see the paperwork on this one?

Maybe.......but everything IS negotiable. He may just want to move it fast.

JR,

Nothing frosts my pickle more than an eBay seller that adds additional "fees" in the fine print.

And why eBay lets them do it is beyond me.

[JR]

cookees Yea I saw that but at that price with the fees it's still under $2800. But a new 2013?

I just did some research on eBay Motors and found out that ALL bids on eBay Motors are NON-BINDING ! Either buyer or seller may opt out of the deal.

Well ain't that somethin'

[horace]

Unless you win..... Then it's indeed a binding contract.

Nope...... read the fine print....NON BINDING.



Policy overview

A non-binding bid is a bid that shows a buyer's interest in purchasing an item, but it doesn't create a formal contract between the buyer and the seller.

All bids made in the Real Estate and eBay Motors vehicles categories are considered non-binding.

Remember, bids placed in any other category are a legal commitment to purchase the item. We strongly encourage you to read the other terms for more information.

Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, you may be subject to a range of actions, including listing removal, limits on your buying and selling privileges, and suspension of your account.

Hi,all,has anyone got any feed back on the oversized pistons.I went and bought one that puts my scoot up from 125cc to 150cc.Does any one know if i should encounter any probs down the line.The swap-over has been running for 2 months without any probs.Any feed back greatly appreciated

[cyborg]

i've put lots of big bores together (tons of motorcyle engines) as long as the weight of the pistons are the same or very close there should be no issues,,,some engines i built went out for balancing of the rotating assemblies so the engine was smooth running after the upsize,,,and i just read an article on a klx 250 to 351cc build the guy put well over 20,000 miles on the build,,,did a very long and difficult tour with it and stated it started easier and ran better than stock,,,

Can't wait for the October Rant..........
