Found this scooter...SOLVED!
« on: June 27, 2022, 03:22:45 PM »
I swung into the park outside my coffee village to talk to the owner of this scooter about 6:15AM.
But no one was around - and I could tell by the rain on the seat that it hadn't arrived at the park this morning.
? quit on him, or?

I looked, it had 2300 miles on the odo.




Near the dash is said something like "Vesptalia".

Readily available in the US Stig https://www.redfoxpowersports.com/200cc-gas-moped-scooter-romeo-200-black-automatic-cvt-big-power-engine-retro-style
Name here "Dong Fang" suggests Chinese origin?... https://www.thriftyscooters.com/product/2022-dong-fang-romeo-200/
$1500 seems reasonable....
I like the 🍒 red one!
Daughter and I for breakfast there this morning, will see if it's still there.

Huh.  A "168.9" cc 200.  I wonder if that's the CC take on the Lance/SYM "200" series 169cc engine? 
They claim a bit more power than Lance does.
2008 SYM HD200 "Niwanibiz"
2018 Suzuki Burgman AN650z "Bebaamaadizid"

k9 S200 (Blue) "Max" (Sold)
k8 SYM HD200 "Indigo" (Deceased)
k7 Suzuki Burgman 650 "Ohanzee" (Sold)

Well, it's still sitting there today.
About a 15 min walk back into Yellow Springs.

I thought that was rain water beneath it....maybe oil?

Huh.  Broken down (Chinese scoots aren't the most reliable), maybe stolen, & abandoned there?
