No...its a 250.
I got an amazing deal on this scooter. My friend got a job as the manager of this powersports shop locally that just opened thursday (1.5 miles from here ).
I got the scooter for cost plus 5%. With tax and everything, It cost me $3018.

Ooops,
You lucky Dawg ;D That is a fabulous price. I am assuming it is new. You will love the scooter, although I was hoping you went with the 500. I paid $4899 for mine.

I live in florida man. My season is just starting. It is too hot here during the summer to ride everyday. During the winter we hover around 68-75 degrees during the day and mid 50's at night. Perfect for me.

Hey Oops,
Is it possible for you to find out from your friend what size the CVT belt is on that scoot?
I need an 828-22-30.

The 828 belts for the 250's should be back in stock this week. I don't think any of the after market companies paid any attention to the 250 introduction, and they are getting caught short. I'm sure (since two of them have already contacted me about this) that they are working on sourcing parts that fit the CFMoto engined scooters. Hopefully, this will improve by spring.

Stan saves me again! Belts are in stock, I just ordered one. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, if nothing else pops it's ugly head up, I have all the parts I need. Can't wait to get home to install them all. The 828 belts for the 250's should be back in stock this week.

I just put my 500th mile on my new 250 and let me tell ya, it just keeps getting better and better. Ooops I told you the more you ride it the more you will love it. I guess you really are enjoying the scooter. 500 miles in 5-days ;D I thought I was doing a lot of riding at 3400 miles in just over 3 months but if you keep up that pace you will be way past 3400 miles in 3-months. You are lucky you live in FL. I am assuming you ride year round. Its already starting to get cold here in MA. I had to go out yesterday and buy some cold weather gear. I found that wind-proof skiing type apparel works well. I plan to keep the scoot on the road for the remainder of October and probably November depending on the weather but come December I will most likely store it until the spring. I will also put it up for sale once it comes off the road. Hopefully I can sell it before I get the 500, otherwise I will just trade it in. I am glad you are enjoying yours and good luck with it. |

Thanks man.
I am officially over 1000 miles (1007 to be exact)
This scoot is rock solid all the way to its top end (85 mph!!!!!)
I didnt keep it there for long, but it got there pretty fast.
I cruises at about 70-75.
This past friday, I went to a local 1/8th drag strip. I was just going to watch until I saw a guy there with a ruckus and he was running 11 sec pass with a big bore kit. i took 2 passes, my best was 10.07 @ 71 mph

Ooops,
You are crazy to go 640 miles without a seat cushion. My ass starts hurting after about 20-minutes. I had to get the Air Hawk. Its pricey for a seat cushion but well worth it.
