Ziggy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 find a used SV6502001 shown she is 5'5" bike was lowered 2" she wont outgrow it & it will hold its value betteror a honda hawkThis is exactly what I had (minus the 2" lower setup) as my first bike. I still miss it. Fantastic motorcycle! They really don't get much better for the "one bike at a time" motorcycle owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGTL GRL Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well, I already in-person that I thought a 250 was a bit puny.. but whatever makes you happy. I personally opted for a bigger bike being that I didn't have the money to upgrade it in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 So Swing'r you pick it up?Commmmme onnnnnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 So Swing'r you pick it up?Commmmme onnnnnn Yep! Its in the garage! We just got back from a short ride, she's doing great on it already. I rode it back from the dealership for her, its definetly different riding a 250, kinda feels like a scooter with gears but its a sweet looking little bike, I think its absolutely perfert for her to learn on and maybe in a couple years if she wants to upgrade we can but seriously, I think she'll be happy with this for quite awhile.We'll post a few initial pics in a little bit here this evening and we will definetly be out at Hooters on Friday night with it!

SWing'R Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 what kinda price you needing from itI honestly don't know what to ask for it. Over the next couple days I plan on taking some new pictures of it and putting together a little sales ad that i can place on craigs list.Its a 2007 Diamo Torino150 (Chinese), paid $2000 for it new August of 2008. It was laid down on its left side once in a lowspeed slipup in gravel, nothing but cosmetic damage, didn't even require any repairs.I don't know the mileage, gotta check, runs okay, top speed with me riding it was around 65 (indicated).

Glad she likes it, sure is different!Yeah its a retro design, looks like a 70's style bike. The guys at the shop said it looks really cool and different if you take the rear seat off, I guess it has like a luggage rack under that seat. Haven't tried it yet, doesn't come right off, gots bolts and stuff.This bike is brand new for '09 and is expected to be a big seller.
