I LOVE seeing og tuner wheels on scooters.  Add stretched tire for added goodness.




A friend of mine had a 215/50-R13 on the back of his ruckus for a while.  Didnt need a kick stand :)

I learned a little more about the bike above.  It's a Roland Sands bike he calls the BuHell.

Other than the exhaust tips I think it looks perfect, very nice.  Good showcase for his wheels.

I can appreciate the build quality etc......but I am stuck on round headlights and rounded, flowing lines, instead of all this angular, Darth Vader looking stuff.  It's what has kept me away from a new sportbike for years.

i think the lines ..."work"    it's the girder that kinda ruins it for me ....girders are cool , but have no place on a sport bike  ....but i'd still ride it

What works for me, (I am not a angles kinda guy, nor am I a sports bike kinda guy) is that one it has a CBX motor and two the lines just flow as if it were meant to be that way were as most of the other darth vader wanna be types tend to look forced.. Well just my 2 cents worth anyway.

I can't quite put my finger on why, but I like this one also.. I would live to test drive it seems like it would be kind of a bear to corner with.. Tho I could be way off base on that..

It could be in the seat. That is becoming popular.

Yes gel batteries are very popular. In fact one bike on the forums here used a cordless drill battery, its very tiny and fits under the back of the seat and you can't even see it, however its only good for about 3 starts or so before it needs a charge. For normal driving tho, it charges up quick so unless you have trouble starting the bike it should not be an issue. The Gel batteries are a bit better then that but not much. They are also more expensive, but not overly so.

Here is Joe's battery...



It hides under the seat..

Nice, Would the gel or drill battery last a lot longer if one were to stick to kickstarting only?
Looks like a good way to de crease the electrical bulk.
