I quit my job because of foot neuropathy. Now it's harder to put the BV's in the van. I've decided the BV's are going to be harder to deal with as I get older and now I'm not commuting, so I don't need to be a multi bike owner. The commuter is also for sale but I'm not placing the add yet. I'll be happy to discuss it.
The SH150i will be my last bike. The add for the 2015 BV is in the For Sale section.

The Craigslist morons remind me of the beautiful people at the flee market. My mother was a flee market dealer so I've been on the selling side.
Example; Someone walks up to the table with a $3.50 bag of doughnuts. They ask how much for something and when you say $1, they put it down and walk away.
This reminds me of when someone low balls you on craigslist and hasn't even seen the bike. Even when the price is lower than book. Rant over.

Flee market sounds like some place nobody wants to be. No wonder the low offers, they were trying to get out of there.

I would love a BV350 for my next scooter, but the wife says Honda Silverwing because I have tons of parts and know my way around them pretty good. But she doesn't realize the size and weight difference between the BV and the Swing. I feel my 150 Liberty is the almost perfect balance but I still like the BV series. And no shame in downsizing. I despise loading my Liberty in the bad of the car. Couldn't imagine anything larger!

The Piaggio Medley 150 would be ideal, 17 hp on the latest version and a real 120 km / h of top speed. A more sophisticated and powerful Liberty ... https://www.piaggio.com/it_IT/modelli/medley/

Looks like a nice bike. Good luck with the sale. You should have no problem selling it this year - used bikes seem to be in short supply!

What's your bottom price and will you take a 1979 sno-prince snowmobile with no track in trade?

Sold Scoot Life. I loved that color. Dark cherry.

Didn't have to ask for more than I wanted so the cheep morons can feel good about talking the price down.

I'll be posting my one of a kind passenger grab rail/ECU/muffler soon.

I'll trade you for a van you can fix up and sell and make some money on, once you get the squatters out.
If you're ever curious as to how scammy craigslist is, put just about anything in the car or motorcycle section, then agree with whatever is offered. You can get a surprising amount of cashier's checks sent via Fedex from Nigeria for a Honda Taquito, as well as indignant knuckleheads telling you that you're a scam because Honda doesn't make Taquitos. It's fun.

Sold the Commuter today. You BV owners might want to keep an eye out for the parts I took off the bikes B4 I sold them. Soon as I get the pictures together, I'll be posting in for sale.

I decided to delete the Honda add. I need something to ride while I wait on the BBK. I still find it hard to only have one scoot.

And don't think the BV 300 is so much better than the 200.
