Grandvista 250 / Re: 2009 Granvdvista questions before buying
« on: August 01, 2013, 07:05:42 PM »
Hey Mongoose, Do you happen to be in the Asheville area?  I was actually just getting on here to ask the same questions as you, most likely, about the same bike.  Kinda bummed to find out it's gone. Hate it when people don't take down their posts when they sell.  Anyway this is actually my first post here. Bout to put up a couple more that you may have some insight on.  If I can figure out how to link to them from here once they're up I look forward to talkin scoot with some fellow WNC riders.  Have good scootin!

I am about an hour from Ashville in the Franklin area.

She is all good. It knocked the signal light in and broke a bit of plastic. I can fix that. She was a bit nervous and was over thinking it. She stopped on a hill with the bike sideways and it leaned over before she got her foot down.

It is an 03 with 3500 miles. It was in perfect condition until the girl friend let it fall over :( Super fun to ride though.

Well, after the woman saw the reflex it was over. We got a good one though. 3000 miles. Runs great. Always serviced. I know the parts are more but the lady loves it. Really wish the GV had come through though. Thanks for all you help though. Maybe on the future I will have one.

Well we just found out that they sold it out from under us. Oh well. I guess we will wait to see on this Honda reflex.

Well finally got to talk to the people. The reason for selling was the lady had a hip replacement and can no longer ride. It just got it's scheduled check-up from their scooter shop. The "damage" was just minor scratches. New battery and tires. I am super excited. My g/f is ecstatic. Also we settled on $1000. I will hopefully be going to get it this weekend. 

I spoke to the local kymco guy today and he said he would run compression test for $35. Hope that's good.

As of now, I have not heard back. Sent a follow up email but still nothing. Here's hoping I will hear from him today.

Hey, thanks a ton. I know it has new tires and a new battery.

I am waiting to see more pics to see if there is any real body damage. I will post them when I get them.
I am a crotch rocket guy and no nothing of scooter. The lady is kinda getting excited though so I need to make sure everything is ok.

Again thanks for the help.

Also found a site that you can order all the OEM parts from so that makes me even happier.

First of I am new here and new to the skoot world. I want to get my g/f one for here birthday / our anniversary. I found a 2009 with 8500 miles on it with the fancy trunk add on and a tall windscreen. They are asking $1200 o.b.o. My main questions are, is this a good deal and can a 5'4" female easily use it? We don't have any local skoot dealers and with our job hours can't really get out of town to test one. Any opinions are super welcome. Thanks in advance for any advise.
