Grandvista 250 / Mirrors do not fold
« on: February 25, 2013, 11:38:40 PM »
Connected the battery today and the mirrors extended.  I might have hit the switch when I was washing it.  Now both the mirrors will not retract.  I changed a good looking fuse with a new one and still nothing.  It is like it is not getting power as both sides do not work.  Any suggestions?

General Discussion / 2009 Grand Vista 250

I am going to look at a 2009 GV tomorrow, 2nd owner (former family and now female owner) with just 1700 miles.  Pix look great and description says ex cond.  I am driving 2 hours with a trailer to see and possible buy.  Negotiated price is $2500.  Any thoughts on price, (seems good) and what I should pay attention to when inspecting?  This is my first scooter but I previously owned an 1100 Yamaha.  Planned usage it to take on motorhome for two up rides to town and sight seeing.  Any thoughts would be great as I must deside tomorrow.

I took my wife and we checked out the Super 8 and Like for fit with two up.  The salesman said for 5-10 mile trips it would be ok.  Most of the places we would be at are hilly.  I want to be able to cruise at about 5omph to keep up with traffic.  Tomorrow I am driving 2 hours to see a 09 Grand Vista 250.  Pix look great, 1700 miles and negotiated sell price of $2500.  My rack is rated at 600lbs and RV Class A motorhome has tounge rating of 500lbs.  I should be arround 470lbs when loaded on rack.  I am thinking the GV would be more comfortable and have a greater usage if we want.  Does anyone see a big negative to go with 250 over 150?  Thanks, Joe.

I am looking for a scooter to take on a hitch rack on a motorhome.  I plan on using it for two people on short, (5-10 mile) trips to town.  I am looking at a 2012 Super 8, 2012 Like 200i or a used, 2009 Grand Vista 250 with 1700 miles.  Will the 150/200 be ok for two people up to 55 mph or should I seriouly consider the 250 Grand Vista.  Price used is very close to price new considering set up and tax.  Thanks for the info.

This is my first scooter but I have previously owned an 1100 Yamaha.
