Nice color!
Yep, these scoots go for a song...and maybe just a bit of harmonica.
Plenty of lightly used ones about - wish anyone selling one for much more than @$1500 the best of luck (but then there always seems to be someone who isn't clued in)
To paraphrase B. Dylan, "Good scoot to drive after a war." or any other time if the price is right.
