OH MY GOSH. that thing IS PRISTINE. wow. wanna sell it? lol

I was thinking I would ship it to Hawaii and ask $3,000 for it

I'm so pumped on it, I really dont even want to ride it, for fear that someone might scratch it or hit me in there car (less concerned with my own bodily injury, I heal on my own, but this thing wouldnt )

Very EXCITED... No real plans for it yet, just get the keys back in my posession

Im not even sure that I would modify it (atleast for a while) this thing still needs to be broken in! Thanks for the comments guys, and the input! If I would've passed on this I would have never forgiven myself!

Now I need to sell some other scooters to finance this one! The 87, 89, and 99 will be for sale sooner than later! I would keep them all, and invite you all to Cali for some scooter rides, but between registration and insurance I can't justify 5 scooters
I hate to part ways with any of my scoots, but the girly has a Vino that matches mine (pink & blue) and I've grown quit fond of that Minarelli thats tucked underneath it... It was originally gonna be my low mileage "Sunday Cruiser", but it has officially been replaced!

I know your just joking around. But honestly, its not a bad idea.

I dont know about 3000, but im sure you could get a ton for it.

Dip it in cosmoline, crate it and bury it somewhere.

* yeh dude that is SO clean and very well worth it

money well spent

let us know what your future plans become

[SpyderMike]

you NEED to get a jap tail light on that pristine ride...would look frickin sweet

[burnt_toast]

not a bad idea actually, a flip to hawaii may bring in some serious cash

just gotta ask if you'd rather collect or cash out

Hey, outstanding find and pics, like a time machine! That owner was certainly careful not to get it dinged up over the years.

I'm not serious here, that's a real cherry you have. But can't help wondering if parted out in HI would it get more than as a complete bike?

Enjoy!

I saw this when he first posted but didnt commit because it wouldn't fit in my honda fit. I'm kinda jealous now wish I would have went through with it. I guess at least ill be that much closer to buying my ruckus. Congrats

[slosquirrel]

Thanks you guys...

The first thing that came to mind when I saw it was you bradthree, and scooterwerx cuz I knew you two lived in the So-Cal area, thats why I left my house at 7am on Sunday... The thing was in Oxnard (or NARD-CORE) as my cousin calls it Not to much of a scooter friendly area, but ventura (about 10-15 min away, where my uncle lives) is much better.

Still now quite sure what my plans are for it?

I was gonna re-make (aesthetically), and tune up my purple 99 S this summer (bore kit, pulley, pipe, etc...). I was looking forward to making a screamer to thrash around town. But I don't know if I can bring myself to molest this thing in anyway... It's just to pristine! Im seriously hesitant to even put miles on it (which is retarded, but I know I will NEVER come across something like this again )

I can wheelie the 99 S (bone stock/unrestricted) really well already, and make it all over town in a hurry. But the thought of going over backwards, laying it down, or getting hit by someone on this 96 makes me CRINGE

It's even an SR. Which I have yet to come across in Cali, this means that it isn't restricted right? As in the variator, exhaust, and airbox? So I could leave it stock and still be relatively happy with it

I like the idea of the Jap tail light to clean up the lines, It's gotta look good parked in the living room on display! Or I wonder if the honda museum has one of these yet maybe they'd be interested?

I do plan on keeping it, unless unforseen financial difficulties arise. Even then I would sell the other 4 scooters in the fleet first (2-3 of which I plan on getting rid of anyway due to insurance/registration... d*** CALI)

Im just not sure what route Im going to take with this scooter... I would love for some input and opinions though, just to give me some options to ponder!

Thanks Again Guys,

It's gotta look good parked in the living room on display!

That's what i'd do.....seriously! Especially if i had a different ride.

[code47mastermind]

save it and don't ride it as long as you can hold off.... you'll be happy you did down the line

i've seen bikes in dealerships with more miles

[veedubh20]

go for it to sell hawaii unless you bring your scooter

the purple s will sell for $2000 .



get out of a golden state and go to hawaii, register moped and 1 time fee $15.00 sticker bring all your scooter load in a container

[bradthreee]

ORLY? New business opportunity!

[slosquirrel]

Good News!

My mom ended up going down to Ventura this weekend, and was able to grab the keys from my uncles house for me. I thought I was going to have to wait another full week to even start this thing (haven't had the chance to since I bought it )... Now Im really going to have to hold myself back from riding it and racking up the miles !!!

I'll post up some more pics of the bike tomorrow (when it's not in the back of my truck), and some other odds and ends that I forgot to post originally.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention what gameshow the girl won it on... THE PRICE IS RIGHT! She was the show case showdown winner, and that was back when Mr. Barker still ran the show, and some of Bob's Beauty's (what they called the models back then) likely grazed the fine pleather saddle with there well toned rumps

Now those are the pics I wish I could track down!

The way I figure, since your speedo/odo are hooked to the front wheel, just keep the front end up and that should keep the miles down.
That's my plan.
