60 mph, on that?
My brother had a Honda metro. I think I got the thing up to about 20 mph, turned around and brought it back. Did not even go an 1/8th mile. Too unstable with those little tires. Not for me, but hey, lots of people ride them.
I love my big old bagger. Electric start, yeah that is a luxury for me. An air seat. Heal toe shifter is next to an automatic for me. Can ride it for days, literally have.

Moto X friends of mine All bought 50 cc two-stroke tiny bike road racers back in the day.
And got serious about it.
They found a new church being built out by me with a huge parking lot.
They would show up on Saturdays put down cones for turns, suit up and go racing
Called it “Great Brethren Raceway” :-)
When the church was completed the racing stopped :-)
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Yep, my little yamaha is a 125cc. I discovered that it could hold a bag of ice and a 12 pack under the seat and a 5gal can of gas on the floorboard....quickly became my transport to the marina

I bought one when we were just down to Fla.
$50. and didn’t run.
Pulled a pc of fuel line out of a reed and it ran perfect!
We rode it on side walks, roads etc.
Several pubs within scooters distance of the house.
12 pack bungeed to luggage rack on way home.
Cant believe we didn’t go to jail!
Used to flip off tail gaiting cars while doing 50 in the 25 by our house.
Cleaned it up one day and found the faded plastic speedo lens hid the fact the Speedo was in kilometers per hr instead of miles like I thought.
Doh!
Ended up blowing it up (of course) and selling it for the $50 I paid for it.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

The "More" of the story CH150 me. Got wind of some purple haired "girl think" in town selling for $45 as new battery (cost) and still won't start. Had the same batt as my dragbike. So home and clean the tank, all gas lines, new gas and try it. Hit the button and zip. Then I simple did the "jump" the solenoid. DAMN! Fired right up! But also was a variable drive, no kicker, so no push would work. Well I was helping a friend here his boat, but needed a tool back in my shop (block away). Dude says "take my ATV, and remembered you have to grab the brake lever to start.."..
So something hits me on the CH...Grab the brake! Damn ..nothing! Then tried the foot pedal brake. SUCCESS! I HATE CHILDHOOD PROOF crap..!
