Anyone remember the name of those little mini bikes....I have no idea what they are called and barely remember what they look like but they are street legal. im pretty sure they have all lighting needed and even have 2-up seating. Sorry I know this is a real vague description but my memory lacks. |

I had a Honda CT 70 in 1973 at the age of 10 and yes they were street legal at the time .

I've never heard of it. It looks really different and I've love to try it. I bet it's fun, but probably not as fun as my Honda CRF50! ;) |

Dusty Sachs motorcycle from Germany makes a MadAss 50cc and a MadAss 125cc. I like the look of this little beast. |

They are made in China FOR Sachs. There's another company that also sells them by another name. They have a 125cc upgrade - would really make it a usable machine. I'll see if I can find the links. I think the Sachs version is over $2000. I think it's really cute and I can actually use it for in-town commuting. |

It's a SCOOTER! The only differences I see are bigger wheels and lack of any storage. That, and it's got a bicycle frame. A normal scooter would be much more practical. Or a used Blast, for that matter, since they're trying so hard to make it motorcyle-ish. ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on June 26, 2007) |
