Urban Touring Tank...?

Post by addictionriot »

A guy at work is selling his
2007 Urban Touring Tank
250cc
375 miles on it...
he said he bought it new for $2500 so he would take $2000 obo

Does anyone know anything about these scooters? My bf wants his own now but I dont know if he wants to wait for a buddy (since I cant find anymore at this point)

Friends don't let friends buy one of those. That's a Chinese-made scooter that'll cause you trouble. I bet it already caused the current owner a bunch of trouble and that's why he's selling it with 375 whole miles on it.

He said he's having a baby.. Personally I think its ugly.. I cant even find who makes it, and for a touring 250cc scooter to be $2500 doesnt seem to put my mind at ease..

Chinese scooters.

Bad wiring. No service anywhere. Bad throttle cables. Bad overall.

Stay away from shiny sporty bikes, if it says "Made in china" that means it'll fall apart in no time.

EDIT: Tank scooters makes the tank touring. They basically import all their bikes from several Chinese manufactures. Good luck finding parts if you ever buy from them.

Alot of the bikes they sell, Vento scooters also sell, these are all the same bikes, just being sold to poor old unaware scooterist. Dont believe these "Made in USA" shams. All lies, The VINs all state the bikes were made in china.
