I wonder how much tweaking can be done with it? The frame is "stamped steel" too which makes me a little nervous.. It's a single which could be a lot of fun or a lot of headache. ooooo!!

"It has scooter sized wheels and a proportional motorcycle body on top of it." Why do I hear circus music . . . Title: Re: Fun POS?

Front Tire 110/70/17 Rear Tire 130/70/17 Those aren't scooter tires. My Pantah has a 100/18 front and a 120/18 back Title: Re: Fun POS?

WTF Not that I am overly concerned or anything [roll] Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: muskrat on June 20, 2011, 04:29:47 PM Buy one and flog the shit out of it then report back. Might be worth a try and it looks better than that 06 ninja IMo
Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: H-2 CHARLIE on June 20, 2011, 11:07:17 PM I would put a Honda cr 500 2 stroke in it .
Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: Mother on June 21, 2011, 01:11:11 AM The frame is "stamped steel" too which makes me a little nervous.. not as much of an issue as the one piece stamped offset on the rotors I would think Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: lethe on June 21, 2011, 03:51:30 PM weird that the pictures are of a white bike but that isn't a color choice [laugh]
and it has ABS, at that price. How well sorted out is that I wonder? Title: Re: Fun POS?

ABS plastic body parts? White used to be an option but they ran out of stock recently. Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: Speedbag on June 22, 2011, 03:27:28 AM ABS plastic body parts? White used to be an option but they ran out of Fixed. Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: hcomp on June 22, 2011, 04:55:10 AM WTF no adjustable levers? For this price I would expect adjustable levers.
Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: bikepilot on June 22, 2011, 05:42:02 AM For $1800 there are a ton of options for used bikes that imo would be far better machines. If you want a little 250 you can buy $1800 EX250s all day.

Title: Re: Fun POS? Post by: lethe on June 22, 2011, 01:58:29 PM ABS plastic body parts? White used to be an option but they ran out of stock recently. Nope Antilock Brakes, unless maybe they are ABS plastic brakes Quote from: Cheesy Chinese Bike Manufacturer High Performance Disc Brakes: This 250 gas Moped features the fully upgraded ABS hydraulic disc braking system on the front, which delivers smooth stops in half the distance of standard. Safety concerns often put off potential scooter buyers, but with this breaking system there will be no problem stopping in an emergency or even in the rain. TheABS braking system allows the novice to brake as efficiently as a rider with years of experience. These advanced new safety systems ensure that the front wheel will not skid under braking no matter what the road condition, furthermore stopping distances will be dramatically reduced by over 8.2 meters.

Post by: Duc796canada on June 25, 2011, 09:12:57 PM I know that this bike is probably crap Great beginner or economy bike. The way fuel prices are going, it is better than riding a scooter :) just saying!http://www.scooterdepot.us/250cc-street-legal-motor-bikes-sport-motorcycles-p-744.html (http://www.scooterdepot.us/250cc-street-legal-motor-bikes-sport-motorcycles-p-744.html) But for $1800.. 250cc..300lbs...
