Scooters are a blast.
I bought my wife a BWS50 a few years ago, and rode it everywhere.

Great Choice, I just got a JCL MP250-A in stock last week in Black with Silver. It is a very nice bike, very smooth and super comfortable and a huge trunk. I've been selling the same bike with the honda clone 244cc motor for a while but they have A LOT more vibration. No major problems though. I like the fact that you can hook up your mp3 player to it's stereo system an jam out to your favorite tunes while cruising around. Good luck, let us know what you think when you get it.

I have read that the radio looses signal when riding its nice that it has the mp2 feature.How does that black and silver look in person?That color sure is growing on me.Do you have any pics of it?

Well its orderd.It should be in Monday or Tuesday.Just in time for spring rides.It was about a year ago today I orderd my duel sport.I hope this scoot does me as well as the old bird did.

You sure it wasnt my quad making you crazy for the new ride? :lol:

I still want one of those scooters too. I am jealous. I wish I still had the guts to ride street around here. :(

That is a nice scooter. It brings back fond memories of my Aero 80.

Congrats. :wink:

You know the drill.Whats a man to do if he dosn't have something to ride and get a wrench out every once and a while. :lol:
I just couldn't stand the fact that spring is coming and I had nothing to ride.I have had some sort of motorcycle for several years but never a scooter.I really like the fact of no shifting.Just turn the throttle and go.
Don't be jelous I give it a year at the most you'll have one. :wink:

I'm getting closer... For the third time my wife and I have stopped by the local dealer and looked at the very same model you pictured. My GY is just sitting in the shed not getting used at all, I might put it up for sale and use the money to get a scooter.

knothead,I have been kinda looking at these for a little over a year.As a matter of fact I was torn between a scooter and the hi-bird when I purchased the bird last year.I don't regret buying the bird but I will never ride off road so the scooter will fit my needs much better.
The trucking company called me today,it will be deliverd tomarrow.I will post some pics as I can.I will start the pdi Saturday.It take me a few days to a week to get it done.

I'm pretty sure theres about 36 miles of vacuum hose on this baby! :lol:

Kman that scooter sure looks nice. By the look of all those vacuum lines the emmisions must be pretty advanced.

Tim sure does have a great selection of China rides. I'd love to take a tour of his shop. Of course that would only make me want to buy somthing :D

I finally got to take my first ride Monday afternoon.I went for about a 5 mile ride varying to speeds.The motor ran smooth and strong no issues at all.I did not take it past 55 mph.The scooter handles suprisingly well,very stable i would guess having 13 in wheels helps alot.It has a cheap fm/mp3 radio in it and it works ok until you get up to about 40 mph then the wind drownds it out.The gage cluster is nice everything works well on it.I will be taking the gps out this weekend so I can check the speedo.I will post a video up this weekend showing the scoot in action.
So far I can say I am very pleased with this scooter.I really don't plan to
do any upgrades at this point.
