This is really shitty...

I hope he's selling it because he's gonna buy himself a "smoothy" and not because of hard times

I'd buy it if I had the money for the scoot plus shipping. He cared for it well.

The ET3 is a 125cc small frame? Anyone want to give a quick run down on this bike?

125cc smallframe. It's an evolution of the Primavera. Has a 3 port motor (more pep than the Primavera), electronic ducati ignition (no points for this baby!), and was not sold in the North America market (no signals, no battery, and pretty rare here). Glovebox on the left cowl instead of battery door on the Primavera.

Probably my dream scooter for riding around the city. I rode a kitted one with Polini pipe and cylinder, and it was fast as hell.

All that above and you can bunny hop manhole covers on them, with a little practice.The one I drove was just so much fun, all that motor wants to do is try for more. Light, nible and peppy, awesome scoot.

+ 1

it's more than he's asking. it's all OG, paint and all. it's a very sweet bike. I've ridden it for a half hour, super smooth and very zippy. A lot more pep than my stock Primi.

I spoke to jimmy beans, he's selling because he doesn't need two scoots and has other priorities right now. He'll still have the lammy.

whoever scores this bad boy will be very happy. I would be all over it if not for that fact that I've got far too many scoots and just recently got my smally.

Another bump to say this is a great bike and worth the asking price - it is quick and looks good too.
