$1,500 for a classic like my little '74 Honda. Good on gas and cool too. Everytime I leave it outside, people bang on my door trying to buy it.

I understand why. My first bike was a 69 Yamaha Twin Jet 100 2 stroke. The bike was a screamer and I would buy one today if I could find one in as nice a shape as yours.

Great bike.

A scooter isn't going to be much less dangerous than a motorcycle...unless you count not being able to get on the freeway with it... ...and while nothing takes the place of your own self awareness of others, at least in Cali, the drivers are more aware of motorcyclists than many other places in the states, like here in Atlanta where if you're not looking then no one else is either...

The trick to finding cheaper insurance on a motorcycle is get to something without any fairings...like a Suzuki SV650 or and older Suzuki GS500... insurance goes down tremendously when the insurance company doesn't have to take into consideration replacing most/all the body work if you have an accident.

Blink,

I still have an original Honda C 70 out in the airplane hanger. It was a hand me down the we used to put-put around the airport for a while. The battery is probably flat now but it runs well. All original, gold, 3spd clutchless, elect start. It's in good shape but not nearly as pristine as Grizzly's CB. I'd probably let it go for $800 if you wanted it.

Looks like this:
