Big attention-getter color....
maybe...same color as your SVX?

my scooter itself the design is pretty cool and stylish...it's fully loaded with ABS brake, ISS suspension, keyless entry(alarm), remote starter.....etc. few things that my scooter has but svx doesn't have ...like digital clock w/ date, remote starter and ..etc

Wow!

It's really hard to listen to you guys complain about the "high price of gas"

Here in Ireland, like Phil over the way, I pay the equivalent of $5.40 for a gallon of regular. Your US gallon is a bit smaller, so this is actually the equivalent of about $4.50 in your money and gallons. This means it costs me about $75 to fill my tank.

On top of this, to make things worse, none of the outlets have premium petrol available, it is always regular. Anywhere I have ever seen premium available, it costs 25% more than regular, not the 10% that might seem reasonable. So a full tank of premium fuel would cost $95 a tankful.

Keep smiling guys, you are still ahead of the posse!

Joe

Wonder of wonders

Hi Everyone, Here in SE michigan regular unleaded had been $2.15/9, with premium .20 cents more. Gas had been going up all the year. All of a sudden in one or two days regular drops down to #1.87.9/$1.88.9 of course premium still .20 cents more. Go figure. Some words of wisdom, I think. One night I'm driving all over Ypsilanti looking for cheap gas for my wifes car. All of a sudden it dawns on me my wifes car only takes about 10 gallon so I'm driving around to save one or two cents a gallon. I'm driving around to save 10 or 20 cents. YMMV. Take care, BOBB

thanks...that was the first day pic when i got it before i put on the side mirrors...

yep, not a bad deal as well for its performance and features. i spent about $2400 to get my scooter running on the road legally. that's including the title, plate, taxes, document fee and my insurance(everything). i paid less than $170/Year for full coverage of comprehensive/collison with deductible of $100. gooood deal. hehe. no suzuki gsx-r or yamaha fzf r1 yet. they are trouble-makers and insurance is crazy.

i got it from a friend of mine who is a distributor. if anyone's interested, PM me i can hook u up to him.

this scooter is not too slow, i can easily cruise up to 50-60mph w/ 80% of power....pretty good for in-town use w/ the mpg more than 100mpg with my riding style and weight(~150lbs). it's indeed turning lota heads always. when i stopped at the junctions, many times pple rolled down their windows asked me..."where did u get from?" "how much u paid for it?" compare to the ~15mpg premium gas of my SVX(in town--very hilly plcs) and free of parking problem, it's really cool to me in the nice and warm weather.
