Jimbo The ch150 is in my sites but only to have the complete collection. The ch250 and cn250 are the real deal . These old scoots are the benchmark for where all the going forward need to be to create a standard for quality

125 Lead.... That brings back memories, my mum had one brand new in 1986, I was a couple of months away of being old enough for my first moped, Dad had a GL 500 Silverwing and loved nipping around on mums scoot

Rambling off topic's perfectly normal! I'm sorely tempted by jimo's ebay find, but if I'm honest, the last time I did any serious spannering was a long time ago!
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place!

No, My NH125 has a fixed headlight just like my NH80.

Im new to all these models so each time I see one mentioned in here I go and have look for a photo of one . Its really interesting to read about all your collections / favourite models and comments etc.
I guess im stating the obvious when I see the lineage for the Helix/Fusion/Spazio/CN250 from the CH250?
Is there a historical model photo gallery section that I am unaware of on this forum? It would be great as a reference point for young bums like me to catch up on a bit of scooter history . Perhaps divided into year by year and muppets drop a photo of each model that they own/ owned perhaps with two lines of info written about each machine dropped into each year group until each year has some content ....Just a thought.

This thread has become very mixed up and confusing, looks like Admin have been working overtime!

It doesn’t look that much ‘spannering’ will be needed on this one - and you’ve a second chance because it has been re-posted ending about 8 days time - and it’s known on Muppets as a good buy.
