Our visiting Aussie buddy, Zee told me about the Madass scooter tonight. I thought I saw something like it at Scuderia last weekend but might be wrong. Anyhoo, this 50cc wonder wheelies and does burnouts like crazy. I think DQ may have a new toy here. Check it out! [thumbsup]

The vid is stirring up memories of a certain cold New Year's day ride. ;D
The black one does look cool! [thumbsup] But I'll stick with my Vespa GTS. I really don't need another bike.

Strange because it shows up just fine on my Mac. Try Rob's suggestion.
The following vid is about how the Madass has taken off in Milwaukee, of all places.

A guy who works in the office across from me has one. It looks weird. He stopped riding it about 6 mos. ago and is now on a motorized razor of some sort. He has ALL the toys.

It looks pretty cool. I don't know if it is 2.5 grand cool though.

Yeah, I saw one in Portland and thought it looked great. You could ride that thing WFO up Tam, like a videogame. Sweet.

I will wait for the 996cc conversion [evil]
Actually the 125cc sounds pretty nice [thumbsup]
It's a standard Chinese-made dirt bike engine (I think the one used in most Hondas). There's a 125, 138 and 170 something upgrade kit for it. The kit can also gives you a manual transmission. Woot!
I don't think they're CA legal b/c of emissions. When I was looking at them last year, there was one place down in the Inland Empire who carried them, but they still weren't street legal for CA. Mebbe that's changed since then.
