So here's what I'm thinking. I just moved to Boston, where it's fairly well impossible to park just about anywhere. I want to be able to park on the sidewalk, which means I need a moped. What I'm after is a moped with a caffable frame - think something I could coax into looking like the Dream 50R. I was looking at the Puch Magnum:
...but the frame's a little on the odd side, not to mention that I'd really prefer a 4-stroke as I have a much better idea of what to do with them. Any suggestions on machines to look out for?
Can you title a Derbi GPR as a moped in Mass? You can in Iowa. Lots of hop up parts available. I bet you could figure out a streetfighter/retro look for it.
Or like Lil Bull said, a Suzuki DRZ400sm(supermoto).

In Europe the hot Cafe "moped" is older Honda SS50's. Come with a Cafe looking tank and a five speed manual gearbox. Punch them out to 70cc (they make the big bore cylinders marked 49cc to remain "moped" legal) and they go pretty good.

I remember when I joined the club...someone who knew me...and knew how things would end up, told me. "When you get fast...there will always be a few that yell "cheater", Then you will know who you have beaten on the track AND in their hearts"
BTW...my cylinders say " 174cc " but they are 209cc.
My weather man was right when he predicted a possiblility of fear in the 250gp class
Dude, if you live in the city, get a cheap dual sport. Then you won't care when someone knocks it over. You be able to jump curbs and potholes.
No one will steal it.
I assume that many members here are doing lots of small, but interesting things throughout the days.
While those things might not warrant a 1000 page thread I thought it would be fun to have a thread that people could post the small things.
Be it a job done on a bike, or car, or just something...
I absolutely adore the type of this racer. only problem is that it is only 125cc and i'm looking for something more powerfull 250+cc
do you have any recommendations of bike to look at in a similar design?
the type is an archive cafe racer 125cc
thanks!
Well I took delivery of my new-to-me 1982 CB900F yesterday. I dont think I have been this excited about a bike since I bought my first bike, a 1984 V45 Magna. It is a beautiful machine, well maintained and a lot of the little things I would have planned to do to it are already done. The seller...
