She/You won't be sorry. It is usually easy to tell if a bike has been abused or on the other hand, well taken care of unless for some reason something internal is wrong. Get ready for the mod's and I agree with 2 thing's, update on the hydraulic cam tensioner/plate/oil pump and for other post yes, women do have good taste if they are picking the Deluxe as thier scooter to ride. In fact, I have had few who has not tasted well at all!!! Umm, well,,, you know what I mean!!
