Tell us more about the coupe that you found. Maybe I can help you with any questions that you might have. Triker/Ron Edit update: Sorry, I read "coupe" not "couple"

You have me reminiscing back to the days when I was shopping for my Boss Hoss Bike.... exciting times & I’m fired-up for you!
IMHO - stay with a 2-speed + reverse bike, 2001 or newer, get written transmission service records, it would be a bonus if the trans has been rebuilt since 2008 and post pics of your candidate bikes here since someone here often knows the history of bikes.
Good Luck!

Thank you... I am searching for the perfect bike. Going to take a while...
Thank you so much for the advise and guidance! Much needed!!!!!!
Speaking from experience, the newest and the fewer previous owners possible, the better.
Best to purchase from a dealer of some kind who has gone over it with a fine-toothed comb.
Mine was a little shy of 14 years old (2001 model built in February) when I bought it, and I'm owner #8. It's been a real booger! I would spare you the pain of endless repairs!
Hold out until you can find some well cared-for quality, even if it comes at a hefty price. And, welcome to out V8 corral!
