Ha, it's famous!

Mine doesn't have that pimp luggage rack on the back though. And the frame has been painted black (looks WAY better that way). I also have lower handlebars, and the original owner did not option the turn signals...just the reflectors (which I have deleted).

If you want to be able to go faster than that though, you need the CR80 6 speed gear box, a 70cc kit, and a homoet pipe! ( I am really lusting after a Honda H100 swap, but I can't find a complete running H100 engine...I may need to build one...soon.)

I just bought these tires. They are the widest you can get under the stock fenders.

That looks great! I can see you beefing up the motor a bit for those tires.

Well, there is a 100 that bolts right in, and a 125 that fits with a little modding. Could be fun, right?
