with the way the people on the roads are i don't know how someone would have the guts to ride something like that on the roads

and like above mentioned the law for freeway bikes is 125cc or at least it was last time i looked at the signs on the on ramps

to be honest i wouldn't ride a regular motorcycle on these roads with all the ass wads out there its bad enough in a vehicle

sheesh, doesn't anybody ride bicycles anymore? Yeah, I understand that people are crazy, I wouldn't be driving this on the expressway or even the main highways. I would use side roads and use my little GPS to navigate to where I need to go. I think it would be fun? doesn't anybody have a sense of adventure anymore? :sonicjay:

also, i'm not a biker and the idea of going 70+ MPH isn't inviting to me. That's why I'm drawn to this thing? is that odd?

My sense of adventure is going fast, not going slow with traffic wanting to run my ass over. :sonicjay:

Those things are cool looking though, I will give them that.

In the right town they'd be great, any roads around here you'd die.

not knocking it, it is sweet looking it's just not my cup of tea i guess
i am on the roads all day and deal with so many bad drivers that i wouldn't trust my life in their hands on a full size bike let alone an underpowered bike such as these

I understand that, and like I said previously, I would avoid expressways and major roads (like M roads) and take side roads (using the GPS for fun).

Then since it's not classified as a moped and you can ride it like a real man's motorcycle (sorry, couldn't resist :teehee:), you're good to go.

My son had a full suspension version in the 49cc range, it lasted for about 1000 miles before literally falling apart. They are Chinese built Honda copies, total crap

tempting... if you could somehow register the 110cc version as a 49cc moped it'd be pretty cool. otherwise if you register it as a motorcycle you have to insure it and who's gonna want to insure that?

My bike is $356 a year for an '02 Honda Shadow 1100cc. I could insure it for $100-$150 for liability if I wanted to. That little bike would be super cheap for insurance.
