Looks like the price went up a little on that bike, and also I see a few issues with the motorcycle names and descriptions on the website. Can't wait to see some pics of your inexpensive moto

Does that really have a SOHC engine like the description states? Please post up some pics (all sides and numbers stamped on it, if you can, please) of that engine when you get a chance

Each state in the US has its own rules as to what can be registered. Connecticut requires the manufacturer be listed as a motorcycle manufacturer by our Federal National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA)

I purchased a Honda clone scooter, assembled it and promptly took it for its first run on the street. Ran over a roofing nail a few miles from my house. Had to order a new tube and a set of tire tools. Took another week before I could get back on the road.

Got that tube patched with a few choice words . Looked like a pin cushion found 3 holes. Took it under interstate overpass creek bridge where brush has been shredded and cleaned out. I kneww better but wanted to check it out
Top speed on speedo said 67 before motor hit the cieling. The speed recorded with garmen GPS was 60 at top end. Even felt good with the knobbies. The gears are settling in nicely too ,better with every ride. Use it to get the mail and have used the rack already . To be honest, I bought it because of her nice rack. |
