freebird73? $5K is a bargain for a super scooter! The Suzuki Burgman 650 is over $10K, the new BMW is $12K, Honda Silver Wing is $9K, plus with my $5000 Tmax I can pass those other scooters like they are standing still,,,,, oh yea,,, try to buy a new 2010 or 2011 Yamaha Tmax ,, if you can find one, they were selling for $8599, and they have been discontinued in 2012, and the 2013 model will be a new 530 Tmax with even more power and performance with a much bigger price tag..

oh yea,,, I paid a discount of $5000 for my 09 Tmax cause I purchaced it as a new model in 2010,,,, now its worth $6250 if I would sell it today....... tell me??/ please tell me??? come on, tell me? name another newer, modern motorcycle that goes up in value????

I find it a bit of a coincidence that 3 annoying people re-appear at the same time here...

motof150
Marvin
and of course Verm

I don't believe in coincidences...

Verm's OK. And he seems to have settled down a lot.



I really truly believe MotoF150 and Marvin are two accounts for the same person. The similarities are too striking to be coincidence.

In another thread, ole' Marvin mentioned something about wanting to find a hot biker chick to accompany him on his scooter, since he and it were just so cool and all that, much cooler then we mere grubby and smelly biker types. So here you go old buddy, a hot biker chick just for you, and she loves riding on the back of a scooter as well.
