This is my 2nd bike. The first was a 91 Kawasaki KDX200. I loved it, it was a torque machine, but I wanted something street legal. I liked the idea of a dual sport, but I couldn't find anything street legal for less than $4000. A little out of my price range. So I stumbled on to these chinese dual sports. There's 3 dealerships within 10 minutes of campus that sell these things. They're imported by Ricky Powersports, 229cc engine, air cooled, 14.1 HP at 7000 rpm, 12.17 ft lbs at 5500 rpm, 276 pounds, top speed of 60 mph, can get one brand new from a dealer (inc tax, title, and license) for $1700.
I thought about buying new, but then I found a guy selling a couple of them. I went to look at one, ended up buying another. He neglected to tell me that neither one was running at the time. So we spent close to 5 hours in the parking lot of his apartment taking carbs apart, ec... until finally, one ran, idled, and rode fine. He was asking $1100 for it, shity paint job, 3100 miles, needed lots of work. I offered him $800 and he countered with $850, signed the title, helped me load it and I went on my way.
and of course, a truck picture too
On my way home, I dropped the battery off at oreilly's because it was dead.
