Was on Craigslist this morning when I saw this Silverwing for sale. It's 10+ years old and 200 miles, check it out here, http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/mcy/4357358210.html
I guess the question here besides the $3000 price tag is how about the drive system, I guess it has belts, etc. like the Burgmans. and other scooters. So what about a drive system that has only 200 miles on it, would the belts need to be replaced, plus engine gasket, etc., or could you ride it in confidence. I personally don't usually buy motorcycles/scooters with that low of mileage on them, yes I do buy low mileage rides, but that's too low. Other things to consider would be tires and how long has it been setting, I can't tell if those pics are when new, or just taken the other day. I can tell you that I'm not personally interested in the scooter at that price, maybe if it was $2000 I might take a chance, but I don't really need another ride. I personally think the seller will have to sell it to someone who doesn't know too much about scooters and the new buyer will be totally happy, or find it needs to go to the Honda dealer for expensive repairs.
