New Rider 2007 Yamaha Morphous Portland Oregon
I rode a 250 enduro for a few months 30 years ago and decided I had a lot to look forward to in life, and didn't want to risk my ass on a bike. Now, with 30 self-indulgent years of hedonistic pursuits under my belt I decided to get my MC endorsement and a beginner scoot. I was looking for a Honda Reflex ABS or Burg 400 ABS when I stumbled upon a 2007 Morphous with 3500 miles, some minor cosmetic scuffs at a local motorsports dealer for asking price of $1500+400 dealer fees, etc. I had $2000 in my pocket and was ready to make an offer, but was told it was almost 4pm closing on Sat and to come back Tues morning to do the deal. An hour later I searched Craigslist for Morphous and found another 2007 with 2100 miles, also for $1500, being sold as part of an estate about 90 miles away. Two hours later and $1100 lighter, I rode off on my like new Morphous. I don't think I've heard of a better deal on one yet. I'm just sorry I didn't buy them both because I love "Raven" so much...lol.
Love to find another local Morphous owner to learn/do maintenance together, ride, order parts etc.
Also looking for crazy scooter riding flower friendly girlfriend ride pal.
Put on and removed a pair of 80 watt LED running lights as they were drawing about 8 amps and believe it or not, it was affecting my spark, performance and mileage. Chrome mirror extensions. Cee-bailey tall windshield with stainless mount hardware. Custom rail mounted rack. Rear top box w/LED Rok straps - these are awesome! Dorky "don't care how it looks" SOLAS retro-reflective tape Bikes on my list to buy: BMW C-Evolution Honda NM4 Zero RS 1989 Honda Hawk GT Yamaha WR250 Yamaha TMax
