Cool. Looks like the SUV of 250cc scooters. :thumbright:

But... Let me understand this. You take your date to the mall. You buy stuff. Now... you fold up the passenger seat to expose the carrying rack. You strap on your purchases. You wave goodbye to your date (who is left standing in the parking lot) :hello2: , and take your purchases home. You then fold the passenger seat back down, and return to the mall to pick up your date. Will she still be there patiently waiting? :glasses6:

Yah! That ain't your grandpa's Reflex... I think I'd like one of those for riding the gravel roads around here.. 8)

Looks like one of the current scoots (maybe reflex?) without any of the tupperware. Ugh! ukeright:

How come battlescooter.com is so far ahead of the game for a machine that will not be released in the States until Dec 2004?

They have more accessories, mods and tweaks than are available for the Burger familywhich has been out in the market place - yonks!

PS: yonks= long time :wink:

$5,300 MRSP + the money for storage accessores. All for a 250 cc scooter.

They are simply linking to a Japanese website. They don't appear to stock anything. Probably a fairly low budget operation with a nice website. (This is in contrast to many larger organizations with awful websites.)

From their "Terms and Conditions", you must pay by PayPal or Certified check. It they receive your order by the first of the month, you should receive your item sometime the following month, unless it is out of stock at the manufacturer. So it appears that they batch orders & send them over to Japan once a month.

But they also say this on their "store" page:

"If you have any two wheeled machine in need of cool Japanese parts we can get them, metric cruiser, mini or anything. We have the connections, all you need to do is ask!"
