I found an advert for Chinese scooters on Craigslist. I was originally looking for a beater Ford Ranger and made the mistake of looking at motorcycles for sale under $2000. I paid about $1700 for it. Off the bat the inside of the tank was rusted and the sending unit was corroded. The seller sent me replacement parts and I decided to coat the new tank with Caswell tank sealer before installing it. My only real issue with the bike is the reversed shift pattern. I relocated the foot pegs and flipped the shift lever 180 degrees so now it shifts like any other bike.
