Gonna be rusty, but how deep? For 600 probably worth a go look if it's not too far away.

^^^ Yep, I can't believe someone hasn't jumped on this yet. Yeah, only one pic, but it looks to be fairly original paint, is running and the cherry on top is the MM tail light. I just can't handle driving four plus hours and won't be able to kick start it for several months.

The guy has a video available with a quick walk around of it running. 19xx miles, leggy is a little bent up. Not a screaming deal, but looks to be all there.

Cheers!

Two of the scoots are registered and one only has import papers from Sweden. The GL is OG Finn and the two 150 Tourings have been imported from Sweden in 2012 but the other has never been registered here. Should be a matter of getting it roadworthy and coughing up the fee for inspection and registration.

Registered Touring has been parked as a runner couple years back and not ran sincre. Unregistered Touring condition is unknown so a non-runner. GL is known to have a bad engine as it has broken down on the road giving out a crunch. Luckily I happen to have one ready P200 with Malossi 210 Sport and the 9DS coming together with the welded-piston OG Malossi.

What a trip
THIS is how it is done, one bike or an attractive herd!
You must locate the treasure as early as you can, having your buddies also on the prowl really helps, then you POUNCE!

And you learned about these three beauties, closed the deal and were on the road to go get them home - all in less than an hour. Wow, you got the fever! I know it well, but I've never come close to doing that.

These look to be in amazing condition from the few pics so far. Looks like you needed sleep more than unloading them... but I bet it was a close call. We'll need more pics ASAP of course, but can that possibly be ORIGINAL PAINT??? Goofy emoticon

If that's original paint on that GL (or any of them, really), that's a deal beyond the already amazing deal.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of these new additions.

The cowl and mudguard trim are correct, which is a strong indicator it's original--you can't source the correct trim anywhere that I'm aware of.

The scrape on the mudguard doesn't show evidence of other paint.

Speedo and trap headset are correct, with what looks like the SIEM bezel and glass (hard to say for sure, but the repops don't look the same).

The legshield badge looks right and the fork is correct (white).

Spare tire holder and tail light look correct.

The seat looks correct, although it's hard to believe it could be in such good shape, though given the rest of the scooter, I'd believe it.

(Can you tell I'm rooting hard for it? )

Looks original to me. Close up of rivets on badge will confirm.

Check out the fancy cowl trim on the scoot inside the wagon. What's up with that?

When I first saw the cream GL, I thought that it had to be a re-spray. Now that I've dug into it I'm realizing that you guys might be right that it indeed is OG paint one Wha? emoticon

I missed the missing sight glass. Good catch.

Whoever goes to look at that thing should definitely give the motor's serial # a HARD look, plus confirm it's a 200 top end.
