Hi Muppets ,
After my Kawasaki J125 got written off due to some stinky toe rags trying to nick it , i`m after a new scooter , cannot get a brand new one as i have been declined finance so looking at getting a second hand one , for appx £1000 - £2000 , I had a s-wing before the j125 so just trying to see what is out there , needs to be quite big i guess as i am 6ft 1 , any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Re: New bike suggestions
I think an S-wing would be far better than a 125 Burger....early Forza 125s must be becoming available S/H, and they are good scoots. Another one I'd consider is the Peugeot Citystar....engine has lots of grunt, and lots of storage space. Otherwise, see what Syms or Kymcos are around.smeghead wrote:There's a few Burgman 125's for under £2K on autotrader.

I paid £1500 for mine . 3 year's old with 2500 miles on the clock. I haven't done a lot of miles on it as yet but so far very impressed with it .smeghead wrote:That is a lot of scooter for the cash.

Off topic really, I have no view on the Daelim though personally I would only buy scooters from HoSuYaPi, but was amused to read this comment in the ad:
...or even a female rider as its automatic just twist grip and go!...
Rather an archaic and ridiculous view in my opinion. Some women might even find it offensive.

Well it offends me. There should be an apostrophe in "it's automatic".abitmad wrote:Off topic really, I have no view on the Daelim though personally I would only buy scooters from HoSuYaPi, but was amused to read this comment in the ad:

Re: New bike suggestions
... and surely a comma before "just" and insert a "the" before "grip"?
