WIII-60 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 http://www.baronbob.com/kikker-hardknock.htm It's a 110cc "scooter". The laws here recognize it to be a scooter at least. Only $1500, and they look pretty awesome. Anybody have one? I might drop the cash just to have an energy efficient means of secondary transportation. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I don't have one. They sure look sweet. Here in WI that would be a motorcycle. Any thing that is bigger then 49cc, or being able to hit 50 mph plus. I would take the money and use it for a down payment on a cheap honda or yamaha. Then you and the wife can go on drives together. I can also tell you this its will be a rough ride. Its a hard tail so you will fell every bump. Heres one more thing. Iam betting that thing might get about 30 miles to a gallon. Were as almost all bikes today including the big 1200cc harleys get about 50-80 a gllon. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted July 28, 2008 Super User Posted July 28, 2008 Does the girl come with it? Sign me up! ;D Quote
daviscw Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Sooo, pretty much its a moped with a motorcycle frame? If I saw that thing putt-putting down the road I would laugh pretty hard honestly. Quote
WIII-60 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Posted July 28, 2008 I talked to a guy who is selling one he just bought, his odomoter has just shy of 100 miles on it. He's still on his first tank of gas. He said that it tops out around 55 MPH. not to shabby. It's no exile bobber, but it's a hellofalot cooler than a scooter. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 28, 2008 Super User Posted July 28, 2008 I've been considering a Lifan 50 cc scooter for a couple of months. $1200 or so (prob. gone up since), gets approx. 120 MPG. I only drive 4 miles round trip to work, that thing would be great for me. I do know of some people who drive the things 80-90 miles a day. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 28, 2008 Super User Posted July 28, 2008 4 miles round trip? You need to invest in a good pair of Nike. Quote

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Holy crap!!! Look at the frame on that thing,.....beautiful!!! I like the bike too. (Peasey, get me a pic of Burley on a moped/scooter and there'll be something good in it for you ;D) Quote
Super User Muddy Posted July 28, 2008 Super User Posted July 28, 2008 Does the girl come with it? Sign me up! ;D In your case you will probablly have to take to begging for a shot at something like that. Quote

Ok, a few things near the end of your statement there... 1. 1200cc Harleys are not big. 2. 50-80 MPG does not happen on Harleys. Scooter looks cool for short rides and maybe cruising around in the pits, other than that I think your money would be better spent on an actual scooter if your intent is to save on gas. Quote
