Should I buy this or steer clear?
I have wanted one ever since living in Italy and now a nice one is up for sale.
2800 miles, clear title, rides pretty well.

I vote in the affirmative, because it has the Piaggio engine.
If it had the Rotax, that older Aprilias had, I would say run away. Not because they are bad engines, but if you need parts they are really,really expensive. If available

Thanks for the info. It is a tough decision.

If you like it and like the price, go for it. As Davros mentioned, they use the common 150cc engine found in many Piaggios. When I sold them (03 to 06 or so) we replaced a starter bendix gear or two as warranty issues, and I learned to keep a close eye on the linkage-type front suspension, which seems prone to loosening up and causing wallowing handling.

I passed on this one. Everything was aligned except the wife. Oh well, I can't complain too much. I will use the money for parts for my other bikes.

Mojito is a cool bike, not the easiest to work on.
Another one will come up and you might prep the Missus better for that one
