rat rod scooter from hell - $699 (Springdale)
1978 49cc Honda express moped with 150cc gy6 short block with 205cc big bore kit. this thing is as fast as your willing to ride it, runs great, needs nothing except someone to ride it and have a good time

My god where to start on this one? Should I mention the terrible motor attachments? Or the fact that inevitable suspension forces will without a doubt tweak and distort the up tube where the shock is attached? Also the manifold and carb are spun around and facing the wrong direction. I know that motor and unless significant porting was done flipping the manifold like that causes severe port misalignment. "this thing is as fast as your willing to ride it" Hahahah It tops at at 2mph then. The speed I walk as I rolled it to the friggin scrap heap.

This guy has other listings where he does scooter repair,if you should need his services.

I all ways love it when people build crap like that, and then just go on and on about how fast it is.

Ya, sure it's fast, it might make all of 10hp.

It just proves that they have never actually ridden anything with real power. Hell, most of the Gs models are glacially slow, compared to a new 600cc super sport.

I was on my way back from Home Depot in my car a few hours ago, doing about 65 on an eight-lane expressway when a guy in a low crouch on two wheels flies by me at at least 110 mph (possibly 120-130).

If I hadn't caught a glimpse of Kawasaki green, it could have been this guy ("fast as your (sic) willing to ride it").

The price is rediculous, but what really got my attention is his mixing brake fluid into the gas. Anyone remember the thread about what happens when you heat brake fluid? 1ppm will kill you. Talk about a toxic exhaust.
I would not want be anywhere near that bike when it is running. Not a chance.

Was that brake FLUID or brake CLEANER? :-k

I seem to remember it as "cleaner", because the guy sprayed it to clean something, then welded it.

Looks like a bike front end grafted onto a riding lawnmower. If only he would put the cutting deck back on it, it might be useful. LOL

I remembered it as someone using brake fluid as a cleaner to remove grease etc. Now you've made me not sure.

My first bike was this girl's little sister (CB350 w/6" over forks). Can't believe I took my road test on it.
