I emailed the guy yesterday and he told me it had 25,000 miles on it when he got the bike ( and he didnt know if anything had been done in those miles ) and he has put on 12,000 more and nothing has been done to it. SO I think I'm going to stay away from this bike, I guess I was looking cause it was cheap but that may be more repairs than I want to get into. Thanks to all SCD friends for your input.cyborg, I have not seen it in person its on e-bay for sale

A quick blast thru the internet says wheel bearings tend to go at 45-50000 miles,,,,some had engine troubles starting at 58-65000 miles,,,no biggie fixes other than belts and pulleys,,,two guys ,,one had 90000+ and runs like new,,,another had 100000+ same thing runs great,,,it all boils down to maintainance and regular service and use or abuse,,,, Thanks cyborg kalee

I would like some input on this bike it has 37,464 miles on it and it has new tires, new brakes,new battery,maintenance at regular intervals. This gentelman has owned this bike for 5 years and just bought a 650cc burgman and wants to sell his burgman 400cc. I wont be running highways, mostly around town and an occasional run out in the country
Thanks kalee

Thanks John. My wife is actually fine, sort of. She had the surgery to finish up part of the cancer treatment. She is home. mending and looking better every day. What made the surgery so intense is that the surgeon did exploratory work to check for any recurrence of cancer. She's clean, no trace and looking forward to recovering. It's been hard for her, she's not a big girl and her body has been through the mill. Kz Happy to hear your wife is cancer free kalee

I had to take some video equipment to my stepson-again-at his summer job in a 4H camp. It was a fabulous day for a ride. The Fashion did it's best Sport Bike imitation on the road around the reservoir and handled the curves like a much shorter bike. With some concentrated counter steering it carved the corners easily and only suffered from some of the headwinds slowing it a couple of times. It is fairly comfortable and sitting on it for an hour straight was no problem. Here's the kicker though. As I rode I passed numerous bikes going the other way. Except for one Gold Wing everyone waved. But. As I rode thru Walton I spotted a guy on a Honda Metropolitan stopped in a driveway. I waved, he didn't. Darn scoooter snobs What year is your Fashion Kz ? kalee
