With THAT moped, you can't "think" about it - you HAVE to do it. There is no other way!

I was thinking of getting some sort-of Honda moped. Not a big bike fan and want something to scoot to the corner store in. What are the power types of mopeds? Don't they go like 750cc, 1500cc, etc, etc?

OMG no they arent that big... A big moped is a 125cc and that's not even considered a moped i don't think.... Most are around the 50 cc range. If you don't think that's big enough... I race dirtbikes (125cc) and when i get on my lil brothers race bike(50cc) i'm scared.

In NJ the limit is 50cc (and of course it has to have pedals), otherwise it is considered a motorcycle.

I believe that mopeds are usually around 50 cc., scooters range from 100 to 250 cc., and motorcycles can range from 250cc. to upwards of 1000cc.

ahofam123 - they range up to 1300cc currently (unless someone made a change I dont know about). And a 250 can be an ***-hauler!!! Can you say TZ-250....mmmmmm

Hell with it, scavenge the exhaust. Go oversize with carb, like 18 m.m. and you'll be passing cars.

You want to see a cool moped? My little bro picked one of these up at an auction for $17 my dad and him had it running within an hour. It was the same color and just as clean as this one. My cousin has it now.





Dang, can't get this image thing to work. I read the instructions on vB code... no spaces or anything. Oh well.
