HER NAME IS 'STORMY'

- We named our scooter that when we loaded her up in a blinding spring thunderstorm in July 2006.  We must sadly sell this perfect 2005 Honda 250cc Reflex Scooter to make room in our garage and to help ease the pinch in our checkbook.

The most beautiful (and fastest) color: Candy Red

Less than 5,150 miles.  Price: $2,795.00
My miles: 5,100
Average Kelly Blue Book miles for this model & year: 7,000 Kelly Blue Book
Retail Price: $3,120.00
My Price: $2795.00

Fight back against $4 per gallon gasoline with this fun, powerful, and economical scooter.
Fill 'er up for less than $10, then go 200 miles on a single tank!  Perfect for driving to work or just general recreation.

Consistent 70 miles per gallon.  Cruise any freeway at 70 mph (even uphill) with a top speed of 75+ mph.  Very smooth and stable ride even at the highest speeds.  Powerful 250cc engine has plenty of power, even with two people on board.

The long wheelbase (61 inches) and adjustable suspension gives a smooth and stable ride, even with two on board, at any speed.

All controls, including both front and rear disc brakes, are on the handlebars.  Fully automatic transmission and electric starting will make this bike your favorite ride.  My wife just loves her Stormy and is and we are both very sad to part with her!   Here they are together.

Deluxe Givi padded backrest ($75 retail) is included and installed for the comfort and safety of children, grandchildren, and other passengers.

This 250cc maxi-scooter can quickly get way ahead of the stoplight traffic, and being out in front is a much safer place to ride.  Speaking of safe, there are automotive-type disc brakes on both front and rear wheels.

Stormy has a handy throttle lock for relaxed cruising, and a very useful glovebox is close to hand for toll change, sunglasses, maps, and gloves.  There is a huge lighted storage bin under the seat which is wonderful for light shopping and carrying rain gear.

The engine and transmission perform flawlessly, and her oil has always been changed at early intervals.  All switches, lamps, and controls are working as designed.  Always adult-driven and garage-kept in all seasons: No rust or fading.  Owners manual is included.  Tires have excellent tread and have many thousands of miles left in them.

Sale includes a computer CD with dozens of instructive files and pictures (gathered from the web) that will help you understand and care for this fine machine  For example, the CD contains a revealing animation of the variator automatic transmission system.

 Stormy is like new and you will save thousands below the new price of over $5,000. Buy direct from me and save hundreds in freight, setup, delivery, and paperwork fees over buying from a dealer. Stormy has just had new fork seals installed by the dealer.

Why pay the same for some 50cc toy scooter (unsafe at any speed) as you would for this 250cc freeway flyer? Why buy a "brand-x" Chinese knockoff with a sparse (if any) dealer network and few (if any) spare parts?

This genuine Honda scooter is engineered like an automobile (e.g., electric fuel pump, water cooled, overhead camshaft, dual disc brakes) while Chinese & Korean knockoff scooters have more in common with chainsaws and weed whackers.


Ouches:

The plastic cover on one handlebar is slightly cracked from a tiedown flub.  Stormy has had one parking lot tipover (forgot to lower sidestand at 0 mph) which left a few light cosmetic marks on her right lower fairing and muffler.  Even so, the body and paint condition is easily 8 out of 10.

I have tried to show everything but there are limits to amateur photography.  I have a 100% eBay rating which means I am honest and reliable.  You can have confidence that this will be a bike of exceptional quality and exactly as pictured and described.
