My buddy bought this less than a mile from my house about 10 months ago. He has since bought an actual motorcycle and two more scooters, so he decided it didn’t make sense to keep this one any longer. This is why I sold my Kymco yesterday. Fuel injected Japanese reliability, and a healthy low end torque curve. For those times when I don’t want a project, I just wanna ride.

They're definitely pricier than my Kymco, but he got a good deal and I paid same price he did. If I so chose, I could definitely sell it for more than I paid.

I missed out on a low-mile, low price Vino 125 last week. Keeping my eye on Zuma’s but I don’t seem to see many used ones, and they seem to be $10 00+ more than used Vino’s.

The 125 in the Vino is a different, less high tech, less powerful engine, FYI. I learned to ride on one, a nd I liked it.

The Zumas do fetch a higher price. Deals are out there, but they get snatched up quick. I only paid $1450.

Great price.  Yeah, Zuma has fuel injection and a few other upgrades (as well as lots of aftermarket)....but I like the retro Vino styling.  I don’t plan on upgrading and will just use around town.  But if I see a deal on a Zuma....

The Vino is a great scooter. I’ve seen 125 versions of those go for under  a grand.
