*I* think that'll be a bit much for her. Besides her being her first bike, she's tiny and knows she's comfortable on certain bikes. Thanks for the heads-up though!

No...

What's that place in Barrington? St. Hilaire?

I was just browsing RMS to look at their inventory then went to the Hampton Falls location's website, and noticed that that location is also a CF Moto franchise, not much in inventory for CF Moto bikes, mostly ATVs

Is Tovah adverse to a scooter ?

She does NOT want a scooter, Grom, or any of it's counterparts. She has it narrowed down to a handful of makes/models, now it's just up to her to pull the trigger. All she has to do to get me back onboard is show up with cash & a NEW helmet and off we go...

It's an 07 rebel 250. Has a wind screen and hard side bags. I can get mileage on it Thursday.

[loudbeard]

I would not be worried about CF Moto resale. If motorcycles were purely financial decisions none of us would be riding. If she likes it, great. Not the bike I’d choose, but that’s what’s great about this hobby…you get to like what you like!

Adventure 390?

[Stoneman]

Adventure 390?

I'm really not sure. Some things that come to mind are the seat height, of which I have no idea. Cost, even used, may be a bit high for a specimen. And I'll likely be the person performing maintenance on it - I'd have to look into that as well.

Although she's really comfortable on certain bikes, I'll toss this one out as well.

Thanks for looking out!

yes, seat height, I recall Tovah sitting on my K-Pipe last summer, she was on her tippy toes, K-Pipe is 31" narrow seat for reference

If it helps I’ve got like a 31” inseam on a good day. Not positive but they may offer a lowering kit. It’s as upright as can be, but I’ve only had it on the street, I hear they need some mods for off road.

I highly doubt she'd be offroading any time soon.

But I'll toss that her way as I've been doing...

Got a pic of the rebel the other day.

Got a pic of the rebel the other day.

How much?

[obsolete]

So it's a 2007. Title says 5232 and she definitely didn't put over 2k on it. I'll have to verify next time I'm at my rental. The carbs will definitely need a clean. There was a new batter a few years ago but it's been sitting off a charger since then. I'd say 1700 if I do nothing to it except help you get it out of the shed.

[Stoneman]

Here we go again. Yup, she's at it again. Like last year, I told her when she finds something and has cash and a helmet I'll get involved. Now she's getting all hot for the CF Moto 450NK, but she's back to tossing used bike ads my way. Oh, joy!

And now the 18-year old boy is talking about tossing his hat into the ring. What have I created?!?

who has the 450NK in stock, I looked at Miles' inventory, he sells CFMoto at his Hampton Falls store, but only 450SS in inventory, most of his cF Moto inventory is ATVs & SxS

I have seen a lot of CF MOTO in SxS & ATV in the wild, (at my brother's Labor Day part) but never see a bike

I dunno why I ferget about them, I nearly rented the building before they were there but moved into my barn instead, I also surveyed the property next door, one of the last jobs I did before I retired
