Thanks Cruiser,
I had two Milan 150's. One was for parts (Lance) and the other (No name import) was my daily transportation. Unfortunately, I found the scooter not too reliable. I'm sorry for all the Chinese owners, but I found myself maintaining the scooter more than I had expected. Things would break unexpectedly. In January the intake valve retaining clip broke on the way home from work. I was driving it a little bit hard but I did not expect this to happen. The head was less than a year old. The head was advertised to be better than the OEM. I had purchased the head because both OEM heads had an internal hairline crack on the cam chain side. Strange that both OEM heads had the same manufacturing defect.
When I purchased the Reflex it came with a parts manual, service manual and the standard owners manual. No problems other than having to replace the original battery (more than 7 years old!) and replacing the tires. I did lock the only key in the seat compartment. Thanks to the service manual, I was able to take off enough body parts to get my hand on the lock mechanism to unlock the seat. The plastic does not break either like the brittle plastic of my other scooters.
This scooter is great. Just the 150 to 250 move is worth it. However, not comfortable on the freeway. I feel the tires too small. At 75mph I felt a bit of power struggle and cut back to 65 and had a bunch of cages on my rear end in no time.
Sorry for the long message.
