Help finding a decent Chinese scoot By furball (Read 1,835 times)

I bought a Bali 250 scooter from extreme-scooters.com in 2008. Still runs good, 6000 miles on it, rode 150 miles last week. Looking at putting 200 miles on it this weekend.. ;D It takes working on them to keep them running good. Don't mean changing parts, but checking fluids, checking for loose bolts, checking lights, ect.. One is expected to do this with any scooter.. Not just a Chinese model.

I have a friend who owns a Reflex. He bought it as a teaching tool for his kids. Eventually he sold his Kawasaki Voyager 12 and was going to use the scooter until a Harley came along at a price that appealed to him. He still uses the Reflex for short hauls.

Also he likes the people in HOG, but that's another story.

Bought the 2002 Honda Reflex tonight. It's a super rare champagne gold color. It looks virtually new. Came with original owner's manual, two sets of keys (two for the $400 GIVI trunk it has, too), all service history, even a copy of the 2002 Reflex brochure from Honda. Lovely, lovely scooter! I can't wait to start riding it.

"Ride Long and Prosper"

It's an excellent scooter and should serve you well for a good, long time. As a replacement for a car it will be just as reliable and you won't agonize "Will it start and run today" as you might have with some of the products sold by online dealers. I hope we helped.

You absolutely helped. I'll update y'all on it if you wish. Gotta learn how to change the oil and such this weekend, I'll get the tags for it on Monday, and take my Basic class next week so I can actually ride it!

Absolutely stay in touch. Members like you help those of us who are weatherbound for six months out of the year stay sane. Pictures and riding stories help us get through the dark days of winter.
