I paid something like $1200 for the bike in February and put less than $200 bucks into it. Today I had someone offer me $3300 bucks for it and I took it. How could I resist??? I could add a couple hundred bucks to that and go buy a ten year newer V-Star or something.
But instead of buying a new bike I thought I'd try something different. I bought a 2001 Honda Reflex. Like I said before, I only have a two mile commute to and from work. The bike just wasn't any fun in that short of distance. I simply don't have the time to ride it as much anyway and it was only a 535 to begin with, so how much fun can you really have. Maybe I'll just keep saving and get a Warrior one of these days. :dnaughty
Anyway, here is what it looks like in case you haven't ever seen one. It is a way slick looking bike that confuses the heck out of people when they see it. From the front it looks like a bullet bike and from behind it is hard to tell what it is.
Here are the tail lights. They are taken from the look of the S2000. I've always liked those.
The guy who sold it to me had called about getting some detailing done on it before he sold it and I just happened to talk him out of listing it.
Not only that, and I still can't believe this, but I got it for about $500 UNDER book value. It's a 2001 and it only has about 2300 miles on it. The thing is in near perfect condition except for a little paint swap on the side that will be easy to remove. I can't wait to detail it.
If you haven't ever ridden a scooter then you don't know what you are missing. Actually, maybe you do. Those Metropolitans and Vespas are weeeeeak sauce when it comes to fun. This is a 250cc scooter that will do 80 on the freeway. It's not as gutsy as the Virago or any other motorcycle is, but the purpose of this bike is to get you cross town when necessary, but mostly just to buzz around your neck of the woods. That is exactly what I do on it, so it is going to be perfect. I made about 800 bucks on the deal between selling the Virago and buying this, so that should get new tires on it and a full checkup. It will also pay for daycare for about 6 weeks, so that is always a good deal.
Anyway, I thought I would show off pictures of what will be my new toy this weekend. I can't wait to get started on cleaning it up. It is a bit dusty and it needs some love. Its silver though, so that should be easy. It will match my Pilot perfectly.
