It's those light weight ones that scare me. .....The gear shifts and brakes are in the wrong place with your knees jacked up in the air. The lean forward seating position gives a backache and contributes to fatigue on the long rides

Agree on the seating position of those rockets. They're awful. I do think, however, that most beginners are better off with something like maxwell got. A friend had one and it was great for poking around town.

Sweet looking motor there, maxwell!

Thanks dude! I'm proud of her... Decided to start out slow and easy seeing as how I didn't grow up with bikes like most other folks here and I spent too much $$ and time on my noodle so far to get it bashed up again, haha... Folks here might think I'm crazy and f-ed in the head but I'm no daredevil with Baby Girl.

Yep it's pretty sweet. You got to get up to 5th to do >30 mph though... Bwahaha... Nice classic design though, that's what attracted me... 300 lb, good solid feel, nice weight distribution and handling (I'm one a them height-challenged individuals)...

NEXT year though, when I get some cash, I'm tradin' her in and going HOG...
