Genuine garage find; showing
just 2,855 miles; a small-capacity
scooter for the road without breaking the
bank
Finished in black and silver
and showing just 2,855 miles from new, this 2013 Direct Bikes 124cc scooter has
spent the better part of the last decade tucked away in a domestic garage,
unused since it was last on the road in 2015. A genuine garage find rather than
a hard-worked commuter
hack, it presents as a lightly slumbered machine that has simply been forgotten
rather than worn out.
The paperwork is pleasingly
straightforward, with the current V5C confirming only two previous keepers, an
EU Certificate of Conformity, and some original documentation from Direct Bikes
included in the file. As with many machines that have enjoyed a long rest, it is
offered in non-running condition
and will require the usual recommissioning before returning to active duty. The
engine turns, the wheels roll, and nothing appears to have been tampered with,
suggesting that a patient afternoon with fresh fuel, a charged battery and a
carburetor clean may well coax it back to life.
These scooters were
designed to be simple, economical and easy to live with, making this an
appealing little project for anyone seeking inexpensive transport, a workshop
pastime, or a budget-friendly runabout
once recommissioned.
Offered strictly as seen, this
low-mileage garage
sleeper represents a modest but honest opportunity to return a
small-capacity scooter to
the road without breaking the bank.
