You can get 44 on the highway and 40 in town on one of these, and at least you can twist the old right wrist and get away from trouble most of the time....
I rode 2 wheelers exclusively for 26 years. My last one was a 1980 Yamaha Virago 920-European model with enclosed chain. It got 55 mgp on the road and 48-52 in town. And I could jump out of an on ramp into dense fast traffic without disturbing other vehicle drivers. I put over 70k on it, 60k on the the 2nd chain(enclosed in grease).
Piaggio MP3 500, a 500cc scooter, gets up to 60 mpg but has plenty of power for the highway
Man, I want one of these
so bad, I could spit.
Just not in the cards right now.
Damn I miss twist'n the wrist and tilt'n the horizon.
