2003 PIAGGIO B 125 SILVER

HI AND WELCOME TO MY AUCTION.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 2003 PIAGGIO BEVERLEY B125 AUTOMATIC SCOOTER.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR COMMUTING AFTER I WAS MADE REDUNDANT AS I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET A JOB IN LIVERPOOL AND WOULD BE GOING THROUGH THE TUNNEL EACH DAY BUT THAT HAS TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CASE HENCE NOW FOR SALE.

THIS IS AN IDEAL SCOOTER FOR COMMUTING OR SOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT. THE LARGER WHEELS MAKE IT VERY STABLE AND BEING SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN MOST 125S MEANS THAT YOU SIT THAT BIT HIGHER GIVING A GOOD VIEW WHEN FILTERING THROUGH TRAFFIC.

THE LIGHTS ARE ALSO VERY POWERFULL MAKING IT IDEAL FOR THOSE DARK WINTER NIGHTS THE WINDSCREEN OFFERS FURTHER PROTECTION AGAINST THE ELEMENTS AND THERE IS AMPLE STORAGE WITH A FRONT COMPARTMENT . UNDERSEAT STORAGE BIG ENOUGH TO TAKE A HELMET AND A TOP BOX.

BEFORE I BOUGHT IT I WAS ADVISED IT HAD RECENTLY HAD NEW TYRES AND BEEN TREATED TO A TUNE UP WHICH INCLUDED OIL. FILTERS AND PLUG.

I RODE IT HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 70 MILES MAINLY MOTORWAY AND WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THE PROGRESS I WAS DOING AROUND 60 WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. I HAVE COVERED ABOUT 200 MILES SO FAR AGAIN WITHOUT INCIDENT.

I DID HAVE A PROBLEM STARTING IT YESTERDAY AFTER IT HAD BEEN STOOD OUTSIDE ALBEIT UNDER A COVER FOR AROUND 3 WEEKS SO RATHER THAN MESS AROUND FITTED A NEW HEAVY DUTY BATTERY TODAY.

THE MILEAGE IS APPROX 21000 THE MOT IS UNTIL JULY 2015 AND IT HAS 10 MTHS TAX BUT UNDER THE NEW RULES THE NEW OWNER WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAX IT THEM SELVES.  

IT IS NOT A NEW SCOOTER SO EXPECT A FEW RATTLES BUT SAYING THAT THE ENGINE IS VERY STRONG AND QUITE QUIET.

BRAKES TYRES AND SUSPENSION ARE ALL GOOD.

THERE IS A NOISE WHEN STARTING WHICH GOES WITH A QUICK BLIP OF THE THROTTLE I THINK IT MAY BE THE STARTER GEAR STICKING IT ALWAYS STARTS BUT IS A BIT NOISY ALTHOUGH COULD BE A QUICK FIX.

THERE  ARE A FEW MARKS I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW THESE BEST I CAN THERE IS A SCUFF ON TIP OF MUDGUARD A SMALL PEICE OF FAIRING TRIM IS MISSING THE HAND RAIL HAS BEEN SCUFFED AND REPAIR IS NOT BRILIANT AND A COUPLE OF MARKS ON SEAT.

I HAVE PROBABLY BEEN A BIT HARSH CONSIDERING OVERALL CONDITION AND PRICE BUT PREFER TO BE OVER CRITICAL WITH MY DESCRIPTIONS AS I VALUE MY FEEDBACK. WANT YOU TO BE CONFIDENT WHEN BIDDING AND DO NOT WANT TO START HAGGLING WHEN BUYER ARRIVES TO COLLECT.

I PREFER THIS APPROACH TO THE GOOD CONDITION FOR YEAR AND NOT MUCH ELSE DESCRIPTION.  

I HAVE THE LOG BOOK IN MY NAME. HAND BOOK. MOT. 2 KEYS PLUS THE ALL IMPORTANT RED KEY AND SOME RECEIPTS ALSO A PADLOCK FOR TOP BOX AS THERE WAS NO LOCK WHEN I GOT IT.

CASH ON COLLECTION PLEASE.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL.

TO SUM UP THIS IS A GOOD COMMUTER NOT PERFECT BUT WITH PLENTY OF LIFE IN IT YET .

I HAVE PUT IT ON A BUY IT NOW WITH A REASONABLE STARTING PRICE I WILL CONSIDER OFFERS ALONG AS THEY ARE SENSIBLE AND NOT INSULTING.

I AM IN NO HURRY TO SELL IT THE ECONOMY IS AMAZING. ROAD TAX AND INSURANCE ARE BOTH VERY CHEAP SAYING THAT I AM 57 SO THAT PROBABLY HELPS THE INSURANCE SO WILL NOT GIVE IT AWAY.

THANKS FOR LOOKING.
