There is a joke about mopeds... It goes something like this:

"Mopeds are like fat chicks, both fun to ride but don't let your friends catch you on one."

Something along those lines. You can get what is meant.

I thought mopeds are only for kids? They are very popular with the 16year old's here who can't yet get a car licence.

Honestly I would get a 250cc kawasaki ninja before a moped. They cost about $3,000 and are a good beginner bike.

I paid zero $ for mine made it run by changing the gas and spark plug and a few other little trick. It's awsome cause all my friend all hang out at this lake near to where we live. So i can go wakeboarding with out having to take my car down dirt roads.

ps. girls love it

Free is definately a good deal, and getting girls is also a good plus. I would imagine it has to do with the retro styling? Well I guess it would have been modern when it was made, but you get the idea.

i used to have an aprilia rs50, to get myself acquainted with road riding (people really do stare right at you as they cut you off). i used to ride dirt bikes, so i wasn't a big change.

a friend used to have an ex250, but i couldn't stand it. way too upright, and handled like a chubby girl.

since i ultimately bailed on the rs250 i was looking at earlier, i'm now considering a cagiva mito since it would take less work to get it going.


needle; where do you ride? i'm usually at candlewood a few days out of the year even though it's a zoo. right now my ride just sold his boat so i'm probably docked the rest of the season. also, i post under the same nick on wakeworld/wakeboarder.com

I ride on a small lake right near my house. It's about 2 miles long by a mile wide, but on weekday afternoons nobody is on it. A friend of mine lives on it and we ride behind his malibu. I'll try and get some pics.
