    Not bad wouldnt pay 650 for a 12 year old scoot thou seen a few decent zips that are only a few year old for that price. Theres a lot out there may mean a bit of a travel to get a good scoot but it is worth doing

    That said if you can get the price down go for it :)

    That BWS looks alright for the money mate

    tbh the reason I went for a piaggio zip is because there cheap and theres hundreds of them but I treked a fair distance for mine and brought it back in a mates car just because it was cheap for what it was :)

    Ok thanks, need to see if I can stretch to that sort of money first, I did have a budget of around £1100 but it seems I need to up that a fair bit to get a good scoot hey?
    I have seen a year old Yam Aerox only done 2.5k Miles and in mint condition for £1500 I used to have one, a Max Biagio one (If thats how you spell the name? haha) and that went like dirt of a shuvel with out even trying and it was only a 50cc I used to clock that thing easy, it had 65mph on the dial but as I have learnt most Scoot's dial's are not quite correct....so I guess I was hitting 55...ish
    I might see if I can stretch to the £1500 mark or see if I can get him down a bit as I wouldnt mind another Yam Aerox at all, I loved my old one, so should be pretty good hey?

    Thats a decent scoot mate, looks very tidy best to get the best you can I'd stretch budget for a scoot like that tbh mine cost peanuts thats why I traveled for it others in same condition where 3 times as much :)
