Thread: Getting power out of a harley

Yeah, remember those little 50cc replicas of the race bikes, they could do about 120km/h but tiny little wheels. Looked pretty hard case.

I've been thinking about getting a mid sized bike since the seat on the bandit is a bit hard for my delicate arse I'm not keen on the riding position on some of the cruiser bikes though with ya feet up in the front. Doesn't inspire confidence mid corner as you know you have no chance of putting your foot down if ya get a bit wonky.

Have half an eye open for something to play with again. Some great machine styles appearing here and I like these 650 size cruisers like the interceptor, CX650 etc. Mmmmmmm...

In the past my kids had a whole series of little learner bikes like the Yamaha Chappy 50, Suzuki Maverick 50, Suzuki RV90 etc.. These were great little machines and they are worth quite alot now. There is a facebook group called 'small bike runs in canterbury' and they gather groups of up to 100 of these little 50-100cc machines out for rides. Definitely going to see them all in the carpark next time. Alot of the riders have all the flash jackets and gear for their big machines at home, but they really enjoy bringing out these restored wee ones. Great to see..
