Title: would you waste $900 on this??
Post by: PaulW on January 23, 2009, 09:37:48 PM: The kid reminds me of mongo from Blazing Saddles. I mean I think he's got the iq of a squid, but it's his birthday and his pappy wants to get him one of these, hoping they can put plates on it and bomb through the trails at the same time. i think he's got high hopes. well at least it'll get the kid into a motorcycle helmet....and out of the football helmet.....

Granted they didn't ride it overly often, it ran every time we tried to start it, the suspension worked quite well and for $700 it was a steal. The 200cc is going to big enough for you to ride and with all the lights and turn signals, it will be road legal. I almost talked myself into one off of Ebay this past summer when gas was $4.50/gal. and for $900, if you trash it in two or three years, it's still worth the savings in gas instead of driving a full size auto in the peak of summer.
