If this keeps up we'll have to form a FASHION OWNERS GROUP-FOG

Sounds good to me.. I really like mine.. finally got a chance to actually see what it can do today.. Was a little afraid, but if I want to take it out on I-4 have to get used to it.. Still not used to this little wheel being in the back.. Might one day make it a trike..

I rode to work last Friday after it iced and snowed Thursday. I thought everything would be melted off but it was treacherous with ice and snow on the roads. It was stupid of me and I will never do anything like that again. However, I must say the Fashion did really well in spite of the 10" wheel. It was skating around some but it got me to work. It takes some getting used to but I've adjusted to it's handling quirks. Once I get rolling just a few MPH it stabilizes nicely.

Those are great looking scooters you guys have. Hey Justguy1, that scooter should be able to reach e-way speeds, at least close enough that you won't get run over. I was coming home from work not too long ago I saw I was going significantly over 70MPH. But it's like any other bike, you have to deal with the turbulent airflow on the e-way. One of the problems with this scooter, and I'm not making this up, is people pull up beside you and stare at the Fashion tryingto figure out what it is. Like most gawking drivers they start drifting into your lane. More than a little disconcerting to say the least.

I'm in for the FOG, I already did snow! Where do I send my dues? It does seem like the Fashion is a bit of a pariah. There are parts dealers for CF Moto but there's not many just for the Fashion. I did run across a site for the Fashion while Googling. The site is kinda hinky but the guy seems sincere. It's called BJ's Price Buster (I know, I know, just click on the friggin' link!) and he has some stuff I haven't seen anywhere else. The stainless pipes are cool:

He even made a video!

And then there's the direct bolt on replacement, kinda pricey though:

This is a seriously cool trunk!:

Might as well spring for the hardbags too:

I really do think I'm going to get the candy apple body panels. You don't see that color from the factory:

I think the chrome wind deflector set would be nice too. Is this Fashion slammed?!:

And some very nice chrome wheels:

In Japan and other places the Helix was called the Fusion and had a cult following. People would customize it and beef up the motor. When Honda discontinued it in favor of the Reflex there was an uproar and that's why they started selling it again. Of course by 2008 a certain country was producing 250 scooters for considerably less than the $5500 asking price of a Honda 250. Of course we smart people latched onto Fashions before they disappeared and have joined the cult.

That Fusion is an awesome scoot, I'd like to have one.

Someone bust out the mustard and rye, nothin like cut and paste spam. BTW it must really be a slow scoot only having 25cc. And offers much more than the scoot it's a copy of? Nah, don't think so. And good luck selling it for 2k. You can pick up a good original in that price range.

Now, now Zug, he introduced himself here.

Plus Fashions and all CF Moto 250s are going for ridiculous prices these days. A dealer near me was selling a used 2009 Fashion for $2200 at the same time I bought mine privately for considerably less. Look through Craigslist and see the absurd prices people are asking for 2008 Chinese scooters used. Gas prices have driven up the price of fuel efficient scoots again. Last year I had my pick of V-3s and V-5s for under $1000. This year the prices have doubled for the same bikes.

Hello Zug, I'm kracker.

It is a 250cc, I seen it while I was there buying mine. I have been on the hunt since January for one and HH Motorsports had 2. Well worth the money IMO.

I'm not a "spammer"........not my thing, just wanted to pass the info on.

Cheers, Kracker

Link taken down.............SOLD!

[kz1000st]

Told Ya! The 250 category will sell like hotcakes this season as long as gas hangs near $4.00 a gallon. It costs me $60 to fill my minivan. I'm guessing it's even more for some SUVs. Thirty-five gallon pickup trucks must require a mortgage.

[zugzug]

Good, another scooterist on the road. I do like getting 65 mpg on my scoot. So for a few bucks I can joy ride until my hearts content.
