I have a couple of other scoots (mp3 250 & Burgman 400) but am looking at an '84 Aero 80 to have something smaller to hang on the back of my '77 GMC motorhome (& I like vintage, being pretty vintage myself). I have been researching the smaller scooters and read lots of good reliable things about the Aero line.
Before I head out to check it out, is there a pre-purchase inspection that you would suggest that might be more specific to this scooter? Beyond the usual generic items that would be associated with checking any other machine. I don't want to have to remove Tupperware to do it, and I haven't run a 2-stroke engine of any sort in many years - wouldn't be certain what to expect anymore

I am mechanically inclined but far from a small engine mechanic so I don't want to get into something that may require a lot of work beyond some basic maintenance which is often overdue! It has new brakes & tires, an HJC tail box, windscreen, 9000 km on the odometer and externally appears to be in very good condition (based on pictures). Listed at $1000 CDN, which, judging from what I've seen researching with the add-ons and "apparent" condition, doesn't seem too out of line.
Suggestions? Comments? All welcome and appreciated.
