My friends all have these and they swear they are the bomb. They are planning a huge trip next summer. The original pony express trail. Missouri to Sacramento on dirt. They kept telling me a year or so ago they were getting $6k new. I’m like there is no way I’m spending that coin on that low power bike. Well it happened. I had a deal drop in my lap. Was at taco Tuesday talking with friends and another guy in my group knew of a guy who died and his wife was selling his bike. 2022 with 91 miles on it. Sitting in the garage. She paid back registration and sold it to me for $2750. How could I say no? So I guess I’m doing the pony express ride next year

The kicker: I go to insure it and my broker says that because this will be my 4th bike on the same policy there is a discount. Turns out the discount caused my bike insurance to go down by $50 a pay period adding the bike!

Weird. I just saw a guy on a yellow one earlier today. Never really seen before.

That sounds like a very cool trip! I told my wife about adding a 4th bike and your insurance went down,,,,she laughed! I have 2 bikes and said if I get 2 more we could maybe save some $$$. I dont think she is buying it!

Mine doesn't understand why we need 2 Jeeps. Or, 6 cars total between the 2 of us.

Chicks are weird.

mine said i don't know why you need all those tools you buy. I turned and said what do you think fixes your car, your sons car, your daughters car?....a freaking car fairy? we also have 7 cars for 4 drivers (really 2 kids only drive a spare if they have a need), but boy she's the first in line when hers is down and she has a way to work.

You trying to find yourself on the couch tonight ? lol
 
Early into a 52 year marriage I opened our closet door one day and said what the %#;& is going on in here. We had it out right than and there.
Conclusion;
You don’t say anything about the tools in my shop and I won’t say anything about the shoes in your closet.

Over the years it has become a joke that we have a lot of fun teasing each other.
 
Honda has knocked it out of the park with the mini motos. I swore up and down that I was going to be first in line for an updated CT125 trail cub when Honda re-released them. Everything was right but the lack of a low range trans and no extra trail tank. The looks and performance are exactly what I wanted. Pricing was through the roof and Honda only parceled them out in just large enough numbers that demand stayed constant and there were no deals to be had. Your deal is the best I've heard of. The super cub has come down on the used market but I don't think I've even seen one of them that low.
I'm leaning more toward the monkey. Manual trans, comfier seat, and a slightly higher fit and finish. I think I would spring for the CT if I came across a deal like yours. Good luck on the ride. Your ass is gonna be pissed after an hour.
