 Old Triumph....No need for a battery and can jump curbs or climb stairs and always started on one kick even when left outside in the rain...And the cool factor  :cool:

  This one I had served me well for 5 years a long time ago in a distant galaxy...

Riding a KTM Duke 690 in the city must be like riding a Mountain bike in the trails

My 250 MP3 is best.  Sometimes it's loaded with $70 worth of groceries.  :thumb:  When you're pulling onto the main road people will stop and let you go ahead of them just so they can check your rig out.  :azn:  It'll cruise @ 65 mph no problem.  Top speed 77 mph.

SCARABEO 150. Big wheels for stability. Lots of storage. Enough power to lane split and stay ahead of the cagers at lights. Might burn some fuel, dunno, never seemed to need any.  :smiley:
Dorcia's kid had one out in redondo beach. Saved him about 45 minutes on his 8 mile commute.

A Sportster with moderate leather bags and the little HD rack.

It only "needs" second gear - maybe third and can still get up and go when needed.

Skinny as can be, sounds great and at least mine - gets over 50mpg.
