Thanks......I am not going to lie, I DO miss it a lot already. I blame myself because I made the purchase out of the blue and did not do a lot of research on scooters. Had I known that they only went 50mph without riding WOT for the most part, I would not have purchased it to begin with. The good thing is I had a great time riding it and the overall experience was well worth it for the $700 I paid for it. I wish a lot of these scammers on craigslist would not posting fake things about their scooters such as them going 65-70mph (chinometer)....I honestly believe there are a lot of people out there who were just like me though. They bought their scooter thinking it would perform a lot more than what they can actually do. Hence the reason why you see a lot of scooters for sale with such low mileage aka a few hundred if that. If I just wanted something to cruise the neighborhood...perfect......me I wanted to drive it to work on 55mph streets....bad idea. Its not that I would not recommend a scooter cause I totally would, but for anyone who is in the market, they definitely need to do research before so they do not make the same mistake.

hmmm i shall get this and test it out.....thanks

*EDIT* tested it out and it worked 100%......topped out at 53 (65mph on the chinometer) just like the manual said.

well i still haven't made up my mind......I really don't want to get rid of my scoot cause A. I just bought it a month ago and B. Not seeing any good deals. I may think of buying some performance parts for the current model I have to just have fun and be happy with what I have.

i actually just saw a turquoise 86 honda scoot with that same exact style on craigslist lol

I currently own a 2007 Bashan Eagle.....I purchased it with 170 miles on it in August and have put just over 1K on it. The scoot has a few scrapes that I put but has been garage kept and maintained well. Its not that I am unhappy with it cause Im really happy with it BUT I am thinking of purchasing a new one. My main issue is this. I purchased it not only for cruising but to travel to work as well. To get to work there is a main drag probably around 6 miles long that is 55mph. In order to get my scoot up to 53 which according to the manual, I pretty much have to ride WOT which is NOT good for my engine. I also do not have a tac on my scoot so I have no idea what RPM I am traveling at. So far knock on wood, I have not had any issues while traveling as far as people tailgating me or making me feel uncomfortable. I simply keep in the right lane and leave it at that. I don't need a scoot to go 100mph or nothing crazy. Was wondering if you guys could suggest a specific brand that could say top out at 60+ with no issues meaning I could hit 55 without have to ride WOT. I see a lot of Roketa scoots on craigslist for decent prices. I would be willing to pay around $1500 (obviously used scoot) So my main questions are:

1. what brand of scoot would you recommend? Reliability/Performance
2. what do you think is a fair price to sell my current scooter?

I just hit the 1,000 mile marker on my scoot lastnight. When I open the seat, the air filter states to wash and dry by hand every 1K miles. So does this mean I literally run soap/water or just water through the air filter and then dry it off? The filter is a circle shaped filter with a yellow colored paper like material that filters the air. I can't see how washing this with water would be a good idea which is why I am asking prior to doing so. Also I check it when I first bought it and it pretty much looks exactly like it did when I looked at it when it only had 170 miles on it.
