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.

Thanks for update.  Good luck and best wishes to both of you!  Happy riding!

(PS:  may I ask what price the Reflex was sold to you?  What year? Condition, damages?)

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.

Eeek! I hope your girlfriend wasn't hurt and that not too much damage to the Reflex.  What happened, was it too big for her?

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.

Sorry to hear that...

As a comfort to you (and her), after 35+ years riding motorcycles I don't crash at high speeds, or on difficult roads, I tend to fall over stopped, in parking lots....     :-[

Ok, good that she wasn't hurt and that happens, she will have to spend some time and get used to the scooter.  Same thing happened to me on my Bet & Win when I had it a few years back, the darn seat was a little high for me.  Hopefully this didn't ruin her confidence and she's willing to continue riding the Reflex:-)

She is ready to ride it again. It just refuses to quit raining here.

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!

Ya figured so.  I literally came on here to ask what people thought about that same bike.  Sorry to hear about your situation.  It's so messed up to do that to someone.  They probably had someone offer asking price and rather than contact to and give you the chance to match it they just figured they'd ignore your calls for a few days.  I've had someone sell a trailer while I was making the three hour drive through the mountains to pick it up.  I had called them ten minutes after it went on sale and was on my way ten minutes after that.  Oh, and they didn't bother telling me until I backed down their quarter mile goat path of a driveway 3 hours later.  Guess not everyone can be as stand up as guy that buys his girl a sweet bikes for her birthday!
