They are as much fun as you can imagine, BUT make sure you get one with enough “oomph” to get you out of trouble. Those 50cc jobs are deathtraps.
Mine is 244cc of raw, unbridled one-lunger power. I can ride it on the highway, but it buzzes uncomfortably over 60 mph. It’s ideal for errands in town, though, and I park for free at work.
They cost too much for me, right now.
Hubby bought a vintage Saab 96 and is attempting to put a jet engine in it [not really but he’s hell bent on “street rodding” it to an insane degree] so our money’s going into *that* pit right now.
I have a Polaris Sportsman 500 but the road nazis won’t let me run the hundred yards of state road I need to get to the back roads.
