I'm assuming you most likely are aware it's pronounced Borzeay and not Borzet? Nice looking bikes but be careful because there can be multiple reasons that big inch bikes are for sale at blowout prices. If you really want the scoot put the $$$ in an escrow account with a 3rd party, dependent on the bike passing a complete physical from a master mech. and if it passes go for it.

I sure hope I'm not that old guy who looks like he's about to fall over!!
I never rode a stretched bike, it must take some getting used to, just
like that situation there.

I wonder if my seller will let me test ride it? hmmmm
I'll never forget the first couple of rides on mine.

OK, got some betters pics today from the owner.
I'm working on the price now, hope to get below the 10K mark.
There is some pitting on the front end, and some paint chips on the rear fender, probably why the sticker is on there.

What year did he get, and what was the price and model?
Thanks!

That's a nice lookin' ride and worth a heck of a lot more than $10k. Probably couldn't build it for under $30k. I like the paint job too. Not too loud but still classy.

If I were in your shoes I'd snap it up and have some fun with it. Hang on tight!!

Like ANY scoot, buy it to ride it. IF you're "investing" for $$$, stick with Wall St.
Uhhhhh, 2nd thought, "F" Wall St, buy gold.

I ROFLMFAO when I see "rookies" on chops. Grab the popcorn, a Pepsi, sit back and watch the show.

When you can do 80+, and then maneuver a parking lot, 2 up, at walking speed, WITH ONE HAND, you've "arrived".
IF it's on your bucket list, best go for it, whilst you can.

And ANY time you're dealing with "custom", it is just that, custom. Roger does have a pretty decent rep, but as always, jus' be aware, going in.

Looks GOOD, and I, too, like the paint.

PLEEZ post vids of maiden voyage !!!!!!!! Bwahahahahahaha J/K, j/k

Oh, and we pronounce it "Bore-gay", in these parts, not "Bore-get". N E 1 know 4 sure??????

OK, Gump. I'll see if my neighbor can take a video of me on the maiden
voyage, that should be interesting....LOL
NE, your right, NH to be exact...
I'm glad they don't call it a Bourgay, that would just be too, well, nevermind.....

Just talked to the owner, I'm going to pop on it, too good to pass up.
He just got it back from the shop today, and is fully serviced, whatever that might means. At least it has new fluids.
I'm surprised the pipes are that nice, most I have seen were discolored
quite a bit, looks like light usage all around, except for the pitting
on the front end, hope it wasn't left outside, we will see tomorrow
when I go pick it up.
I probably won't sleep much tonight, remember being a kid getting my first car, a 39 ford coupe, couldn't sleep a wink....
Thanks for all the comments and advise guys, I do appreciate it.
If you don't hear back from me, the maiden voyage went very wrong...haha
Peace
