I ride scooters now. They're so awesome. Better than all mopeds ever, combined.
Can I still come to rally's?

Valimagdon · « **Reply #1 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:03:58 PM »

That thing, while totally rad, just barely qualifies as a scooter. And by just barely, I mean really shouldn't be, except that someone might call it one on accident.

Wanna come to a rally, bring something vintage, and preferably 2-stroke. Or at least know you're gonna get the funny looks and not fit in...
That said, is that CPI a 50? Bring that along to an STL rally and I'd love to race fast plastic 49cc machines w/ ya!

remake those front cowels so they are less ugly, then you can come!

Race Preppin' Mike · « **Reply #3 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:24:47 PM »

Myke, yes, the CPI GTR is the minarelli horizontal motor, 50cc two stroke. I just picked it up for $500 on CL because the guy thought it needed a waterpump, when in fact, the water temp sensor was broken off and the wire was touching a piece of metal, causing the red "overheat" light to come on.

Tom, I'm not changing a thing about this bike, it's 50cc watercooled, 45 mph bone stock and this shit weighs 275 pounds!

Now sell it for double what you paid, get your Derbi back, spend the $1000 on a sweet setup on something that doesn't suck so hard.

Nothing wrong with it, perfectly natural, just wash your hands afterwards.

I'm not quitting mopeds or selling any of mine, Just wanted to see how many haters there were here.

but seriously, this thing's the shit.

Don't hate. Scooters are better.

GARzan Justin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 28, 2010, 12:39:01 AM »

After reviewing the comments, I'd definitely say it's a mini motorcycle. Not your GPR50, not a scooter, but some sort of gnarbrid (gnarly hybrid). I feel like, if this isn't going 90 by the end of the summer, you deserve a tickling. And not a nice one, even.

Race Preppin' Mike · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2010, 12:48:50 AM »

I think you found a vehicle that no matter where you go, every group is gonna hate on.

Jesus christ Malaguti, I hardly recognized ya! Those Minarelli motors are awesome, loooots of tuning capability, like the E50 of the 49cc scooter world. Fantastic score!
I agree w/ Mike P, everyone is gonna hate on it if you call it one thing or another. Kinda like a Passport/Cub. But who cares, it's rad.

GARzan Justin · « **Reply #27 on:** February 28, 2010, 10:26:17 AM »

Really, I think it's pretty awesome. HUGE kits available, great brakes, awesome trellis frame, lights that work, good suspension upgrade options, instrument cluster.. It's basically everything I'd want out of a modern motorcycle, but without the crotch rocket douche factor

Holmes · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2010, 10:26:53 AM »

top tank it and nobody would know the difference

gym socks · « **Reply #29 on:** February 28, 2010, 10:32:17 AM »

Ok, I used to ride motorcycles that looked like that, so I cant hate on it too much. IT IS a 2-stroke, so bonus points there....I think of it as an MB5 -an in betweener and by the look on your face, it must be a blast to ride. I think since you're calling it a scooter and saying ALL scooters are better than mopeds definately deserves some hating, but nevertheless - you are my friend and I have to accept you, no matter how fukking goofy you are.

The "it looks like a toilet" joke just falls flat when it doesn't look anything like a toilet.

Who hates any type of 2-wheeler (or 3-wheeler if triked or an MP3)? Any by what possible reason could they logically say any one type is better than another?

I enjoy everything from Solexes, peds, scooters, to MC's - and ride 'm all. None is any better than the others, they are just different from each other and serve different purposes.
