This is the actual scooter. I wanted one with more red, so this is the one I got shipped. It's kinda scary going fast into a corner. I think that I took a corner at about 25-MPH but that's about it. Still got about 1" of chicken strip left. The brakes are quite ferocious, stopping the scooter to a dead halt from top speed with ease. The handling is actually rather stable, it's just that the suspension has zero play and the smallish wheels are squirrelly.

That looks cool! but the exhaust is crazy lookin.

[t-homo]

You are crazy. Is it fun?

[fnfalman]

It's fun as hell!!! I got her up to 53-MPH indicated.

too funny, bring that thing to the gap, that would be hilarious.

I could have a good time on that thing, hell anything with two wheels I can have a good time on including cruisers.

This puts a whole new definition on the term "crotch scooter."

The priller-super-motos aren't going to be an answer for that, they will just end up on the track.

Right now, thinking the KTM is going to be the answer to that question.

Scooters on the track are the shiznet... BIG time.

Oh Hell yeah! I have a KTM, it came with a KTM pen and bottle opener, it should have come with anodized orange handcuffs. The thing is more fun than anything with less than 60hp has a right to be. You don't want an SVX, they've got serious reliability issues (so I have heard from a friend of mine who's the manager of a local 'priller shop that wont sell SVX's)

I did a film run down US129 in GA (My little secret road). I left with a couple friends following me, as we passed an intersection at the outside of town a guy on a silverwing scooter pulled out behind us. I got to a gas station at the other end of the mountain, pulled in, grabbed a coke and waited. One of my friends showed up, then the scooter went by, then the rest of my friends got there.
