ABS plastic body parts?

White used to be an option but they ran out of stock recently.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

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.

"This scooter for sale is registerable as a street legal vehicle in 47 states not including CA, NJ, PA"

WTF

Not that I am overly concerned or anything  Roll Eyes



This is almost certainly due to emissions requirements.

I know that this bike is probably crap

http://www.scooterdepot.us/250cc-street-legal-motor-bikes-sport-motorcycles-p-744.html

But for $1800.. 250cc..300lbs...  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!!

You give me a title and everything?? wow!



That rear sprocket....  30t?
Great beginner or economy bike. The way fuel prices are going, it is better than riding a scooter Smiley just saying!
