looks like a mini bike but with a smaller motor and raked out forks.
$599 plus a hundred bucks for shipping? I think chopping a mini bike
will give you more bang for the buck.

So you want $599 for what goes for $200 on e-bay. Guess they aren't
as popular after all. One guy has four of em for a bid of $800 last
time I checked.

Did you notice *DUAL* rear wheels??
Imagine your kid trying to hairpin turn THAT at 20 mph.
Bet those twin wheels do some weird things to the physics of
counter-steering.

We used to call them mini bikes back in the day. We used to get them with
3.5 and 4 hp engines, 1 hp was just not enough. We also used to get ours to
go 35 to almost 40 mph with the govenor open. Yours only does 20mph.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Well, I think he may have a different meaning for popular than the
rest of the world does. Not to mention his lousy eyesight. Cause that
thing sure as hell doesn't in any way resemble any Harley Davidson
I've ever seen. And he obviously understands English in a different
way than the rest of us do. He even claims that what he posted wasn't
an ad!

From his reply to my (polite) email to him:

|It wasn't totally an advertisement - I figured people in the site would
|legitimately be interested in the product. So far most Harley people I know
|who have seen it have gone absolutely nuts for it.

I guess he knows some Harley people (whatever that is) but I would guess
he sure as hell doesn't know any Harley riders. There may be a market for
a mini chopper, but what he is selling sure as hell doesn't resemble any
chopper I've ever seen.

On the other hand, the guy next door to my sister actually has a mini
chopper (and the parts to build 4 or 5 more) that looks the part (and
also looks like you could shoehorn a pretty good sized engine into the
decidedly non mini-bike type frame), is powered by an OHV Tecumsuh (not
sure what size, but it goes as fast as I want to go on them little tires
and with no front brake). It looks kool and an adult can actually ride it.
They actually sold quite a few of them for around $2000 each before the
partners had a little disagreement and dissolved the company.

The dealership down in Savannah Georgia had several mini-choppers on the
floor. Built around a Honda 50cc engine. They looked cute as heck, but
at $2,000 a pop, my kids can wait till they can get a real bike.

My friend the Ol' Hacker recently completed two Cushmans that he
repowered with B&S 18-hp v-twins...one for him and one for his wife.
He sez they'll do better than 70 mph if you got the huevos to hold the
throttle open that long.

God, I love it when people do truly custom stuff to their sleds.

Yep. Back in the 60's one of my girlfriend's dad had a Mustang scooter
with a pre-unit Triumph 500 in it. I have no idea how fast it would
actually go because it was just downright scary to ride. There were
also a few Cushman Eagles around with Yamaha 250 2 stroke twins. If I
remember correctly they added a jackshaft due to chain alignment problems,
but other than that it was a pretty simple conversion. Also faster than
I ever wanted to find out about, but they had a definate cool factor.
