$2500??? There's a guy here who's selling a PRISTINE Vespa P200E for less than that.
I'm sorry, I just don't get the motorized bicycle bit when you can get a SCOOTER, which will do an easy 60-70 mph, for the same or less money.
Have you ever riddin a bike with a motor on it? Its way cooler than a scooter dont need a licence, lights, or helmet and you dont look like the rest of the drunk drivers that lost there licence.
Dude, riding a scooter, which everyone thinks is a MOPED, @ 70 mph, is way cooler than riding a motorized bicycle that strains to do 30 mph.
I already have the license, it isn't a big deal. Ride around in a circle, weave around some cones, and stop on a line, voila, you have a license. It aint rocket science.
I used to have a Vespa GTS 250, and that thing woud do just a bit over 80 mph. I rode it on the interstate. I WISH i could have had a CB radio in my helmet so I could have heard the truckers talk about the "moped" that just passed them.
Somehow, I don't see tooling around on a motorized bicycle at 25-30 mph (which, BTW, even though that's moped SPEED, most motorized bicycles I've seen have 80cc or larger engines, which makes them, by Michigan law anyway, MOTORCYCLES, therefore requiring the license) as cool as passing trucks on the Interstate on a scooter.
