@Paulster2 Could be an exhaust system with a post-cat O2 sensor delete

I am planning to buy a second hand Honda Pantheon 125cc for £800. It's 2006 model and almost 10 years old now. It has done 32000 (km OR miles not sure).

I have attached a pic of the scooter here. I have not seen this in person yet. This will be my first scooter and I would like to use it for commuting. Roughly 25 miles a day.

I would like some feedback OR suggestions from experts here. Please let me know if I should provide further details.

@Newbee Hi
@Newbee Ask about proof of service history.
 
and take it for a test - listen to bearings, how does it steer, is the exhaust smoky, does the suspension travel smoothly, do all the electrics work etc
@Newbee £800 seems like a lot though. Depends where you are, but I'd check around
 
@Newbee I feel 800 pounds for a 125 cc 10 year old scooter is WAY TOO MUCH
 
@Anarach I have had almost new ones for less than that...

Yeah. I thought 800 is a bit too much. The mileage bike has done is also high.
I live in Guildford, Surrey. I am gonna ask this guy to sell it for £500-£550 or i will look some where else.
 
Dude I would say dont go for more than 300
unless its in impeccable condition.

Thanks Anarach
 
Hope you find the right bike
 
Any thoughts on chinese bikes? Lexmoto, Kymco. The new ones come with 1/2 years warranty.
 
3:14 PM
Do you mean one or two years or six months warranty?
 
Another day of diet coke, jellybeans and Minecraft. Vacation is the best!

@Newbee What exactly are you looking for?
a commuter motercycle?
if yes then I would suggest Yamaha R125
 
3:45 PM
I am looking for a cheaper option. Just for a year and half or so. And this is for my wife. So it has to be a twist and go.
@SteveMatthews: Its 1 year for few of them like Lexmoto. Kymco gives 2 year warranty.
 
@Newbee Well Lexmoto doesnt operate in my part of the world so sorry cant give my 2cents tere

@Anarach What I see: oh god, who let this guy write C code? He didn't manage it initialize even half of his variables. I wonder what nonsense they picked up from the stack? Can you tell I used to teach C programming...?

I have to question how much sense there is in doing a comparison like this to prove that emissions changed between the two runs
 
9:29 PM
@Zaid - I have to doubt the validity of the test. They didn't run it as though it was doing an emissions test. The difference could have been detuning due to all the idiot lights being on (TCS and such). I think to tell what was done and how it affects HP/TQ, you'd have to know how VW did what they did. I don't think VW is going to let us know. I also think it's only going to be a reflash to fix it.
@Zaid - If some industrious sort were to download a stock tune in the binary and compared it to a download of what VW is going to reflash it to, then we'll know what's actually going on.
