How many times have heard this? Pretty good review on this 150cc scooter.

Hello.
I would buy a scooter like this one for less than 1000.00

I think the review was entertaining and pretty good. I for one didnt know a 150 could go 60mph and capable to ride on the freeway. My 250cc max's out at 79 on the freeway. I disagree when he states no one should buy a chinese scooter. My own personal story I was driving a lifted 84 jimmy that i had put alot of money and work into and it was a gas guzzler...one day heater hose blew and all the fluid got into my motor and killed the truck. i sold it for a 1000 then used it as a down payment on my new 2012 jonway. its retail sticker was 1999 and i financed the rest. In the 3 mos i've had it, ive had to replace my front brake complete setup ($95), fuel filter ($3.00), (oil, gear oil, coolant = $55.00). I ride about 250 miles a week and spend about $13.00/week in gas 91 octane. Insurance about 25/mo (thats w 0 years motobike experience). I've taken my scooter apart about a 5 times in 14 weeks. I was spending $580/month in gas on my truck, insurance same price, and was always makin repairs. As aggravating as my scooter can be, it is by far the best investment i've made in a long time. Everything about them is cheap and they have 1 function...to get from point a to b and they do a good job of it. I believe though that anyone who is considering getting one, should already have tools, patience, and understand that these things do require a bit of your time (until your more familiar with everything on it). To this day I don't regret my purchase, its fun, economical and just makes total sense.

I agree, if your a wrencher or willing to learn to work on these scoot you will save a lot of money with gas and repairs I've had mine apart more time then I can count, and I do all the work myself, unfortunately these scoot get a bad rap.
