Is it legit?  That posting has been up on eBay for 6 months.
I wish I could ride more and drive less!

I don't know, I just saw it. Look at his rating from past sales I guess? Also, maybe he has some customer reviews you can take a look at to? :-*

It sure looked good to me. I would run some sea foam and such through it to clean up the fuel system, (if needed at all)? But just to make sure all is clean. Make sure battery is fully charged and ride. Good luck.

 :)  Well the Ebay report is in.  As I finally picked up the scooter.  The ad was real,  but  the mileage was not as advertised.   I picked it up last saturday, and it only had 163 miles on it.    Sweet.    Now has over 1100 miles on it, as I rode it around a bit  in Washington State before  riding down the 101 to San Francisco.    750 miles on Wednesday  alone!!!    Looks to be a fair deal.

YES, I have ridden mine several 700 mile days. The X500 makes a fine touring bike. Now you can look at the Goldwing riders (& other touring riders), and shake your head as to why they spent $25,000 for their bikes, and are only getting 25-28 MPG. And your bike is more comfortable to boot. ;) :) ;D :-*

This is surreal... Is this whole thread made up?

I drop the top put the ether between my feet and drive. Then the magic happens.  Her name is eBay and if I believe in her she is real. If I breath deeply enough i'll get a deal like that too. Exhale.  Accelerate! Ahhh!

Come to think of it, my scoot was a great deal also.  Brand new 2011 Super 8, $1,400.00, 2 years to pay with zero interest, free jacket and helmet, and title is already on my name.  ;D ;D ;D
