I havent ridden a scooter for years. Someone planted a seed and now Im feeling the bug again.
Im looking for a used bike.
Any "dont do's" would be appreciated.
This is the ballpark....

1980 Yamaha XS850. $1350
16,000 miles on the odometer. New dunlop tires. New battery. New seat. Recently redone carborators. Very reliable. Always starts. I've taken it on 8 hour trips and had no problems. Tank in great condition, no rust, good paint.
