Didn't end up with a Ninja...
Well, what goes around comes around. I started on a Sears moped over 50 years ago, and now I've got a little 250cc scooter... a 2007 Aprilia Sportcity with only 1160 miles on it. (It has a Ninja muffler!)
Not having a clutch, gears or foot brake is really hard to get used to after over 50 years of riding motorcycles! If anyone knows of a good mechanic in Greenville, SC, who's familiar with Italian scooters, I could use one to check the valves and stuff... Thanks again for all your help. OldCoot Here's a picture of the new scoot...

I think I got it for a fair price...with only 1200 miles on it I paid $2k for it. Rides great, so I'm happy.
