Pros and Cons of This Scooter

[countryartist]

Saw a scoot today which has me intrigued. I can’t remember the make (wish I could), but it had a low seat height of approx. 23” and a long wheel base of 7” more than my Burgman. What are the pros and cons of a scoot with this kind of dimension? By the way, it was a 250 CC.

Thanks for your thoughts.

It sounds like the Honda Helix (or a clone),


...or the Yamaha Morphous.

Pro = Both are reputable very reliable scooters,

Con = The seat height is a little too low for my liking, I personally like to be higher up so I'm seen by other drivers.

It is indeed a Morphus. 2006, 5000 miles. Very nice.

You should probably find a forum dedicated to Morphous owners to get some really good info on them. I thought about one for a short time, but they were too expensive at the time. My general impression is that owners liked them. They just didn't sell well and have been discontinued.

That would be the biggest "con" of owning one. Whereas the Helix was in production (and virtually unchanged) for many years, the Morphous wasn't. Parts would be the biggest issue in my mind. Also, just finding other people who have had one to give you advice, if you did your own maintenance.

just guessing it was more than likely a cf moto fashion 250 i have one and its about a foot longer than my 650 burgman it ride,s alot softer than my 650 lower to the ground and about 190 pd. lighter dont think i dont like my burgman i love it but the little china scooter have been all it should be never a problem i would say its a good starter if you want to see if you like scooters about 1/2 the price of a 400 burgman i got it on craigs list in the tulsa ok. area theres pic if you want to see if it,s what you seen the post says 2006 twist and go

Solano Cycle here in Saint Augustine has two of the CFMoto Fashion 250's they can't give away, last I knew they had them down to $1,999...

I remember seeing both for sale when I was looking for my Maxi scooter. I decided that they were just to ugly. I'll take my sleeker Burgie any day.
