Welcome !! As a newbie myself, I researched the Scooter craze, and all I found was how bad the Chinese junk scooters are. Most everyone recommended a small bike rather than a scooter. I think you found a good deal. I found my 2000 locally with 5k miles on it. Ended up buying it for $1700. I will also soon (after much practice), be riding for work.

Similarly, I'm 6' about 170, so I wanted a bike with the foot controls more "forward", as when I took the MSF test, I was on a Honda Shadow with controls straight down from the waist (looked pretty goofy with the knees out wide so my feet were on the controls, LOL).

This site is great, everyone is very helpful. You'll get opinions good and bad, but that's pretty much why I joined as well, to get good info on this particular bike.

Congrats on the purchase,
Rich
