There is a newer shop in the Dallas area where I spotted a Valentine 150 the shop was new, small and seemed to be thrown together much like this Valenitine. Initially its a good looking scoot but as I inspected it I wasn't impressed. The rep at the dealer didn't offer much help or insight.

Maybe they thought "ABS" was an acronym for "always brake slowly"?hardd1 wrote:chineese abs = crapola
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...
Seriously...I've lost count...
Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Puma Valentine 2011
I know this thread is old,but I just purchased my second Puma and this one, like my first is the Romeo.
I purchased one 3 years ago and have not had one mechanical problem and it is my daily driver unless the roads are icy. I , however , always loved the look of the red and white scoot , so I grabbed it when one became available on craigslist. If anyone is hesitant , don't be , these are mechanically sound . I also worry a lot less about theft as I would have if I'd gotten a more high end and expensive Vespa or Buddy .
For the price and complete lack of issues , in my opinion they have both been fun , fantastic and reliable rides . I also found a great scooter mechanic that is very comfortable doing my maintenance .
