Thanks Hank, I could only see the link for the 200cc motorcycle. I wonder if I could do a sprocket change? |

Ultimate Gas Saver! Roketa MC-05-127cc Semi Auto MotorCycle gets 70 miles per gallon
Max Speed it lists 60 mph.

you think 70MPG is a lot for those kind of bikes?
I've seen scoots with higher values... I really like the price of the thing though!
It's lighter in weight than my TaoTao ATM50 scooter

Just did the purchase. Couldn't let it go, prices more than likely will go up like with the other motorcycles on the site (that now start from $1500).
Probably get it in 2-3 weeks. Looking forward to doing a sprocket change and getting 80+MPG out of it, if that where possible; and the manual gears too.
Needed something different than my heavy 750cc motorcycle, or 50cc scooter.
Unfortunately I haven't ridden my 150cc evo too much yet. I guess performance wise they will be about the same (the evo and this motorcycle).

what does the 'SEMI-CYCLE' stand for in the "4-GEAR SEMI-CYCLE"?

what does the 'SEMI-CYCLE' stand for in the "4-GEAR SEMI-CYCLE"? point between a fully automatic transmission and a fully manual transmission. You get the control from shifting gears yourself, but you don't have to worry about the timing and other advanced skills that you need to drive a dirt bike with a clutch Read more: How to Shift a 4 Speed Semi Automatic Transmission on a Dirt Bike | eHow.com www.ehow.com/how_7577353_shift-automatic-transmission-dirt-bike.html#ixzz2SZKLs3fE |

I think one of the best upgrades to do is replace the non electric fuel pump with a electric fuel pump that comes with a micro fuel filter. Only 40 bucks to do.

hope it works out. It's an auto clutch the clutch engages when the shifter is moved

Yeah, I noticed, it only has one brake lever (the clutch lever is gone).
You think this kind of transmission is better or worse than a regular gearbox?
I wonder on what the technology is based on!
Hopefully it doesn't hard change gear (like on a car without engaging the clutch)!
How the heck does one get it into first gear anyway, without it jolting away?
I wonder if it's a good idea or not..?? Is that why the bike is so cheap (because the shifting system might suck)?
1,25 gal fuel tank, like on my ATM50; probably good enough to top 100 miles.
5A battery, not much, when it breaks, I hope a 7A will fit; or I'll equip it with a Li battery.
Man recommended oil = 5W40, very low viscosity... What do you think? It's a Honda based engine (clone), or a new engine? Most Honda based engines take 10W40.
