+1 on the above. What year, model, and how many miles? Do you know the history, if you are not first owner?

"Scootorcycles" I like that, as a catchall for anything between the traditional "scooter" and the traditional motorcycle. Does give the short answer to the question I most often get on my 250 scuiser. I'll use it.. Thanks Bashan! And yeah, that Sachs is even harder to categorize, cause it isn't really a scooter by definition, but looks more "scooterish" than motorcycle.

yup, moped = motor+pedals. US DOT says a scooter has a step through design and floorboards on which to place the feet, instead of pegs. Which is why there are some 650 and up "scooters". wouldn't wanna have to pedal those around, some of 'em are over 600lbs.

I added a radio to mine to be more noticable. I think loud exhaust just irritates motorists, usually cause it drowns out their stereos in the car and usually only when stopped at lights. Reflective striping and road awareness serve you better.

Please.. originally $10,000, their price $7000, and will sell it to me for $3000. Looks nice, but that is just "Crapvertising". Even if it is a great scooter at the $3000 price, the over inflated "original" price would make me look elsewhere. If they are going to lie to me in the ad, I gotta figure they will lie about everything else..
The Morphous? Well, hate to be the defender on this, but the style killed it for american sales. I don't think I've ever read about drive system problems. Probably as dependable as the Helix or Reflex. Given a choice between Helix, Morphous, or Majesty in the same price range, brand wouldn't be the deciding factor..

This reminds me of the man who opened the door for the feminist. She immediately went on a rant that she was an able bodied person who had no need to be objectified and treated as the weaker sex. After she finished, he simply looked at her and said "I opened the door for you not because you are a lady, for I have no way of knowing that, but because I am a gentleman."
I don't wave because they are "real" riders, I have no way of knowing that. I wave because I am a rider. Or I'll give a tip of the head, if I'm busy. And, often, either on the scooter, or on the 1200, I'll give a thumbs up to the smaller scooter rider who is actually dressed to ride.
