    I want a Tank scooter

    Yes, I'm bored... and obsessing about a scooter


    My friend just got himself a Tank Sports 150cc scooter. When he told me he was getting it, I said "why? Just get a Honda Rebel if you want a small bike!"

    Well, I saw this thing last night.

    Yes, it's a scooter. Yes, people look pretty lame on scooters... though I've been seeing lots more people on them lately.


    However, I sat on it, and it's way comfy.

    He popped up the seat, and what did I see? A RADIO! The thing has a freakin sound system! SOLD!


    The best part, aside from the radio... 75mpg.

    And it only costs $1400 brand new.


    It's a Chinese made bike, but the salesman told my friend that all replacement parts can be had from Honda. So if it's not a Honda engine, it's a faithful Chinese copy. Which means when the Chinese crap breaks, it can be replaced with good Japanese parts!

    Here's what it looks like:

            They rule the highways here.

            I've personally rode my old 125cc Yamaha scooter up 140km/h. That little devil was fast.

            I woke up for my pre-dawn meal, wanted to sleep afterwards, but meh. my internet suddenly had VTEC this morning.

              My buddy got it up to 70... I wouldn't risk it, though. I'll get a motorcycle eventually... but that'll be a good start. It's automatic as well (or CVT, I forget which that model has...) So I can get used to riding on 2 wheels without having to focus on shifting.



              And yeah, it's pretty lame looking... though it's actually a pretty damn big machine! I saw a Ruckus in person, and honestly... it looked even more peakish than this thing. It's just too... I dunno... "big toy" to fit in on the street! I see lots of biker-lookin dudes riding these little scooters now. I guess the big Harleys with work done to em don't get great gas mileage in comparison.

                If I ever get another bike, I;d have this:

                Honda Click


                perhaps change the wheels to a pair of more manly wheels.

                These can go fast too. 100km/h is a breeze

                  I've seen people riding those mini bikes on the road. BIG guys, like 5 or 6 of them in a group going down the road on that shit. I was like

                              why not just a cbr600? much higher "cool" factor, fast enough to not get ran over and still get like 50mpg
