    Just picked up my first moped the other day and definitely did not expect it to be so much fun! haha I wish the frame was cooler/more aggressive like some of the ones posted in this thread. I know it will not look too good but Im playin with the engine now trying to get a little more power out of it. These things are addicting!

    Just a 70cc kit and if you consider the Biturbo a performance mod that too. Put a Hell rally light on the front since it was in my garage and that the original was broken.

    oh dang...looks lovely

    but 500$ seem weird compared to the price those things switch owners here...in hillbilly communitiys those things often switch owners for a few beer...

    i've built a couple of targa's i like them.







    this is my girlfriends sprint




    then there's my bastard moped.


    make sure you keep the trans fluid at it's proper level, and use the proper type. try not to go WOT uphill for 1 to 2 shifts, the bikes are awesomely reliable and do 40-45 with a basic pipe and an upjet, almost 50 if you grab a 28t front sprocket. I highly recommend going up a tooth in the front, it really makes 1st gear more useful.

    Also, you have a 2007 so you're on CDI ignition, make sure you run a resistor plug, you can fit 2.5 inch tires on the stock rims without a problem.
    hell yeah yours are awesome and yeah i plan on getting a round headlight i dislike the square one and ordered 27/22 sprockets
