I don't know, I just saw it. Look at his rating from past sales I guess? Also, maybe he has some customer reviews you can take a look at to? :-*

It sure looked good to me. I would run some sea foam and such through it to clean up the fuel system, (if needed at all)? But just to make sure all is clean. Make sure battery is fully charged and ride. Good luck.

 :)  Well the Ebay report is in.  As I finally picked up the scooter.  The ad was real,  but  the mileage was not as advertised.   I picked it up last saturday, and it only had 163 miles on it.    Sweet.    Now has over 1100 miles on it, as I rode it around a bit  in Washington State before  riding down the 101 to San Francisco.    750 miles on Wednesday  alone!!!    Looks to be a fair deal.

YES, I have ridden mine several 700 mile days. The X500 makes a fine touring bike. Now you can look at the Goldwing riders (& other touring riders), and shake your head as to why they spent $25,000 for their bikes, and are only getting 25-28 MPG. And your bike is more comfortable to boot. ;) :) ;D :-*

I drop the top put the ether between my feet and drive. Then the magic happens.  Her name is eBay and if I believe in her she is real. If I breath deeply enough i'll get a deal like that too. Exhale.  Accelerate! Ahhh!

Come to think of it, my scoot was a great deal also.  Brand new 2011 Super 8, $1,400.00, 2 years to pay with zero interest, free jacket and helmet, and title is already on my name.  ;D ;D ;D

I payed $1,950.00 for my 2007 with 7,250 miles on it a couple of years ago, and I thought that was the steel of the century at that time. You stoll your's also. Glad I have a partner in crime. ;) P.S. Since it was my post that led you to the bike, where's my finders fee DUDE? ;) :D ;D :-*

Chandler scoot lives there also. You should send him a Private message so you two can compare bikes. His is decked out real nice. Thats a great price. People have no clue how nice these bikes are for touring. If they knew, or could get past their ego problem, Kymco could not make enough of them. Their loss and our gain.  ;) :-*

Yes, ego  will keep these bikes a great deal  for  a while.    More fun and convenient than the other 7  or so bikes i have owned in the last 2 years.   The only bike  that  was allowed to stay in the stable  was my 2007 x500.   Runs as if brand new with over 20,000 miles on it.
