If you can maintain speed required and you are comfortable with it why not?

The bike pulled me at 60mph up a steep hill. I just am a bit nervous about it. I want something i can drive more then just around the city. This bike is a good deal though, i think anyway. 700 bucks and it has like 3500 miles.

It was a pawned item and the owner ended up in jail. The pawn shop owner was selling it for 1k but he just wants it gone so he is gonna give it to me for 700. It needs a new battery but other than that it looks good.  |

superjew78 Did you get the V5? The wife has one and she loves the look of it. Hers is white and blinged out with pink stickers and gems. I don't care for it much because it has no storage at all. We had to add a top case to it. Also the radio is pretty use less at speed. She doesn't do highways on the bike we just scoot around the city and back roads. Although I have taken my Jetmax on the highway I think it's too light to mess with all the truck traffic we have in our neck of the woods.

What engine in the Scooter world is Not OHC with Ball Bearing Crank Journals in the last like forever? Boy I better stay away from that Flat Head Push Rod Babbit Journal Crank Bearing Scooter or M/C Motor.. c'mon |
