Greetings from Redneckville, Alabama...
...actually the small College town of Montevallo, southwest of Birmingham. Many moons ago I had a Flyscooter Il Bello 150 (Aprilia Mojito clone). It was a blast to ride, and easy to work on. Flash forward 12 years and I'm looking at the Honda Grom, but can't justify the price. Having the prior experience with Chinese powersports, I decided to do a clone. I forgot how much fun an ankle nipper can be.

The Boom Vader 125 crowd has come on quite strong, lately, and they seem to come shipped with small issues that need TLC which most members seem to have worked through. However, there are others from SSR, and Ice Bear for more $. The SSR actually beat out the Grom, the Z125 and the K-Pipe in a four way comparison due to price/fun ratio and other criteria.

Welcome to the club.:hi: you might be a redneck if you say " watch this... wait hold my beer" :p Hell i'm not even a redneck and say that.:lmao:

Thanks for the replies, guys :hi: I decided to go with Ice Bear Little Monster, in part because it looks like the Ducati, but mainly because it has a metal gas tank that's about 2 pints shy of 3 US gallons. I've had it for almost a month, but didn't get to ride it until last week because bill of sale and title issue kept me from getting it registered at the DMV. I've put about 180 miles on it so far, without incident. I'm on vacation this week so I'm doing performance and visual mods when I'm not riding it.

I have to admit, I like the styling of the SSR and the Lil Duc. I think the Ducati styling is sharp but to be honest, that is probably all that separates these from the Vader. Spec wise, they're all very similar. Unless you get one with EFI, they're all the same.
