We acquired a new gas saver, today.

I'm thinking it might not work out as a tow vehicle, though. :lol: :lol: :lol:

How fast does it go?
How many MPG does it get?
Do you need a Motorcycle license to ride it?

I was thinking about getting a scooter for work but I would get run off the road or run over if I tried to ride it to work.

I use to have a 750 Virago and sold it because it became too dangerous to ride.

I haven' t taken it on any roads straight enough to test the top speed, yet. However, it climbs over 60MPH easily and has plenty more to go. I would guess somewhere in the 80-85 range for top end. (Wind resistance limited.)

The MPG is estimated to be 70 MPG. A license is required in NC.
It's a 4 stroke engine and liquid cooled.
Mainly, it's FUN to ride. :D :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Here is my two wheeler these days, 8)
Goes about 15MPH and about 15 miles on a charge if you don't run it wide open.

They don't make baskets for them so I got a office file folder holder and mounted it behind the seat.

Bruce, Honda made the Ruckus in a 250 engine for two years and then discontinued it, but kept the 50cc model. I like the Honda's but they are way too expensive. What is your 1400 cc bike?

We will play with this new one until we talk ourselves into something bigger. :twisted: :twisted: :roll:

my 1400 is a Suzuki Intruder... here it is, not quite finished yet. But it will be shortly after I get home!

and here is my daughters 250... this bike is 28 years old. I found it sitting behind a shed. I ask my daughter how she wanted it, chopper, bobber, enduro... what? she said she wanted it restored to the way it was new. I couldn't fine an exhaust, I had to weld one up myself, that's why it isn't chrome. but everything else is just as it was new.
