The KEMEKO

I've got Lead 100 on November 2003. It's the smallest bike that I have ever had and this is the first scooter for me.
I bought it from the woman living in a different floor of the condominium I live in.

One day I found a piece of paper was sticked on the basket of the scooter and the paper said "For sale, 30,000 yen."(around 270 USD). I found the odo showed 7,600 km and it was a 100cc model. I thought of the bike around for 1 day and made a call to her to buy it.
She said she no longer rode it 'cus she had retired the work and her family had asked her not to ride a bike. She slipped down while riding to work just before she retired.
As she said, I could find some slight scratches are on the left leg shield.

She offered me 25,000 yen for the price 'cus it has some scratches. But it's too lower than average, so I told her at least 30,000 yen. It was strange as the buyer offers higher price than that the seller offers. :-)
(Around 80,000 to 100,000 yen may be average price here in Tokyo for this model.)
She never changed her price and finally made an agreement that I would go to the ward office and transfer the owner of this bike. Finally I got this bike at price of 25,000 yen. Too bargain price. :-)
A few days later, she suddenly visited me and left 2 helmets. Thank you!
