Here is the latest misfit to be saved from the scrap pile and is now cluttering up my garage. I am worse than my kids bringing home stray animals. :blush:

Hey those little scooters are pretty cool.
My first M/C was a scooter, if you can call them M/C's lol. It was the model that had the cylinder head pointing forward and exposed and a glass float bowl. Those do not like to seal once they crack.
We called it Turbo :smilie_happy:

I have had 2 scooters this year, a 150cc Wildfire and a Q-Link 250cc...and quickly sold them both. Great gas mileage but not my cup of tea! On the other hand, my daughter has a Lifan 150cc (photo) that she rides on nice days. A tank of gas,(just over a gallon), lasts her for a long long time! :grin:

Yours is a monster compared to mine...it's a whopping 49cc. When (if)I get it running my wife and daughter will be able to use it to "scoot" around town. Because it is below 50cc no license is required.

does that make six bikes now

 

[slabghost]

Nice find. That'd be fun for buzzing around the neighborhood.

No, this one brings the current total up to 4. I sold the Magna a few months ago.

[lew1701]

Disassembled and cleaned the carb today (it's basically a weedeater carb)...reinstalled it and we are scooting. :clapping: Now I can't get my wife off it. :yahoo:

Only because it isn't all computer controlled like cars these days. Back in the 70s I had a little Honda civic that got 45mpg. No computer no injectors.

 

[dan filipi]

True.
My Dad had a Caddy with a 472 CID V8, loved that car.
It got 18 mpg. I doubt that engine size today would be that good on gas. Do they even make gas engines that big anymore?

 

[mcgovern61]

We had a new '94 Saturn SL1 5 speed that got 41 MPG on the highway. I loved that car! Back in '94-'95, I could fill the tank for $8 to $10 and it would last for 300 miles.
