Yes there some ‘well abused’ samples out there but I know the previous owner of this one and he was besotted with it so am 100% happy it’s not been used like that.Alan CF wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 7:27 pmJust a bit of advice on buying a well used S/H one of a young person, i joined the FB grom pages just to be nosey (as you do)
And most of them are into them just to wheelie, And having the oil pump at the front of the motor they are starting to see a few rattle issues.
Avoid a well used grom from a young rider with flash bits attached

Oh yes small wheels are scary! I know the Michelin tires on it are pretty good(original Vee runner was apparently very bad in the wet),but my god, the feedback from that front end is so direct it’s a tad unnerving, every little twitch and bump you feel. Part of the fun I guess but the first tight bumpy bend I zoomed round on the ride home was an eye opener!!! Haha. I’m getting more used to it now tho.
So easy doing oil changes, valve clearances, spark plug changes, it makes me very happy I got one of these fun little things!

250 for me was ok. Earler seats are supposed to be better.
Although, I do have a sheepskin ready for the trip in June....
