Just a quick comment about "ride one and you will buy one". If anyone wants a "classic" style Whizzer, you better buy one really soon. The inventory is declining quickly, and soon your only option will be the NE-R version. Think about it for a moment, the prices have soared on the NE5 and even the earlier WC-1 version [with valve seat problems] have sold like "hot cakes" recently. Don't tell anyone but "follow the money trail", why all of a sudden [over the last 6 months] have all the earlier versions gained value, could it be the last chance to own a "vintage" retro style is nearing the end? I know of many dealers that purchased the earlier WC-1 models recently, and upgraded them, because they had customers waiting for them. Why? It appears many, many, many, are willing to pay up to $2000.00 for the earlier upgraded models. Every once in a while I hear of one selling for far less, and my advice is to buy it, in fact I will state buy any you can, before an era comes to an end. If you want [or ever wanted] to own a classic Whizzer, best start looking soon, before they are gone.
Like I have stated in the past, Whizzers are in a class of thier own, and that 4 stroke flathead motor produces power and a sound second to none. I know of a few new ones still in dealers inventory, so contact your nearesat dealer to "make a deal". Many of the dealers are of course "sold out", but there are still some around. Who knows, with Christmas around the corner, the dealer might just cut the price a little [I know of a couple of dealers that have one or two in stock]to make your holidays even better.
Have fun,
Buy a Whizzer,
