All I am going to say on this is I have had many used scooters, including HD. There is NOTHING like owning you own from the get go. Not saying not to buy a used scooter, but I am glad I have my own from the start this time. Took awhile, but I did it and have NO regrets. If you plan on trading up or selling, that is a different story. If you plan on keeping and can afford it, buy your baby brand spanking new. Also you get exactly what you want... kind of like getting a women that has not been divorced...... LOL! Buy new, You will be glad you did IMO.:s
