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.
So, my current Enfield has a Power Commander V to go along with the other things I did to it (cams, valve kit, etc, etc...) and the tech that did the work installed a map to the PCV that he had from a workup of a much more modded engine than I went with this one.
Instead of installing his map...
I need to get something shipped from 78646 in TX to 122203 in NY.
Anyone know someone?
Have gotten some SILLY quotes from the hub brokers, and have a listing on Uship.
Just figured if someone knew someone I would rather give them the business.
Thanks
