carl1647545492 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Getting on FB on CL seems like a few folks are selling bikes "for my boss" I think I can spot a bad condition bike but have no clue when it comes to paperwork and making sure bike isn't stolen To cut out that out what should I ask for before even looking? a vin # ? or ?

Mitch Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'll be the first to CR this up by suggesting a more expensive option that's not really on topic. How about a Grom? Tons of aftermarket, better speed than a moped. Would have title and all that so it's not sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Grom is a option,dumb thing is they are not much more $$ its for my 15 yr old figured we try start him on something slow we will see how that goes. Funny thing is he is kinda meh about it all getmeanewiphoneplease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I’d vote grom too. I bought a mini bike for my son when he was like 9 or 10 and it got old fast. I should have opted for a small dirt bike or similar over the mini bike but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 +1 for grom or dirt bike. Maybe a monkey. Haven't you always wanted a monKEY?! INB4AHEDOESN'TWANTAPET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downingracing Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Scooters and mopeds should have titles just like a car. Same things you would check when buying a car apply. Check the VIN on the vehicle with the VIN on the title. Confirm seller information on the title is correctly completed (if already notarized). Or meet seller at the Title Agency to transfer ownership. I've got a 1985 Honda Elite 80 scooter that I love. Old school looks and since It's a Honda, it just works all the time. Also since it is so old, I registered it with historic tags and insure it with Hagerty for pennies a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Makes sense with the vin # ideally would like to run through before I waste time looking seems like there are different opinions,no you just need a serial # to get titled with a bill of sale Neighbor has a Honda CT 90 barn find hat he completely went through and now runs around on and its definitely a cool little bike,he pulls over and we speak for a bit so I get the appeal.

zeitgeist57 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 For what old monkey/cub pit bikes go for, before you have to rebuild the carb, brakes and put new tires on it, trust me: a brand new Honda Navi for less than $1900 ready for plate and pavement is the way to go.

Richard Cranium Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Show me a Navi for 1900 and I would buy it.! https://powersports.honda.com/street/minimoto/navi Base Price $1800. Yeah, you have fees/tax/title/tags on top of that. But they are less than $1900 new. I might have to consider one for the trailer to take to the track. The minibike is okay, but this would be way better. Was thinking about a Honda Rukus, but the Navi is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Navis not available till march.Too many FB goobers selling bikes privately for me to take so I'm probably out till this sorts itself out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Just order a Navi if you’re serious about this. I see crap bikes for $1000 to 1200 that need a lot of work. If you order a Navi now, it’ll be here by March right when the weather breaks and every goober coming out of COVID 2 is gonna want to get out on the road. Even if you didn’t want it you could probably flip it for a couple hundred bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 What's a real, no-shit, out the door price on a navi though? Once dealer adds on their $500 for dealer prep fee, $250 documentation fee, and whatever markup the spud-season dictates we're lookin at $2700ish after taxes and fees? I'd take a grom over a navi if those were my only two options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS69 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) +1 for a grom. I purchased one and like it. I found one under 1000 miles and only mods were a muffler change and mirrors. It was a 2017(looks like new) and I purchased it from the original 60 year old owner who worked at Honda for under $3k.

carl1647545492 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 The old CT 90,s have become collectable to the point where they are 2500 to 3K now,they are cool but it almost makes a new Grom seem reasonable. FWIW I priced a new Grom at Iron Pony and a 2800 sticker was 3450 all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I priced a new Grom at Iron Pony and a 2800 sticker was 3450 all said and done. That is why I bought the grom. I recently sold one of my classic bikes, my 1966 ca102 with a asking price $1500 and it sold within a hour locally. I had many calls and realized I was too cheap. There are some good affordable Groms for under $3k that are not beat up. I have enough classics/etc, I just wanted something to use at Mid Ohio and other racetracks to cruise the grounds with.
