I think I would be just fine with it if it was wrapped in an auto cycle and sitting in my driveway, otherwise, I don't really care.
Sorry Comp...
It wasn't really a serious question.


I was just trying to keep all those "other productive expenditures of energy" of which you speak going.

Won't happen again. Promise.

:cool:

It gets 84 mpg, has a lot of torque and a top end of 85mph...

And it's real.

;)
Hey, my old 49cc scooter got between 50 and 60 mpg. (It would have gotten up to 90 mpg if I had been able to lose 50 or 60 pounds, but didn't happen.) It was limited by law to no more than 35 mph (otherwise I'd have to get a motorcycle license) but it would hit 40 mph when going down certain hills and with a good stiff wind behind me.

So I believe you. (except for the 85 mph part... ;) )

120 MPG top speed 40 MPH, and 85 MPG top speed 85 (maybe)

Regarding 85mph...

Just don't expect it to get 84mpg running wide open. :D

My ratio's stock, but everyone who's gone to 17/42 (or lower) has reported picking up extra mpgs
