Honda Ruckus! They look like they could be fun (Off road). Brand new I think they start around $2000.

But didn't you say that your parents don't like the fact you ride a bike? Show by example mom and just get a hybrid!!!!

my mom isnt worried about me getting hit by a truck..its the way i ride..basically i ride fast..but who doesnt.

the mopeds dont go fast enough/ dont have the bad rep of sport bikes.

so to her they must be safe

I think a sport bike is safer then a Moped or scooter as long as you ride nice.

Tell mom to get a 08 Ninja 250R and call it a day.

They even make 600cc peds now. I'm going to say it here, too.... This will be the summer of two wheels. Expect the number of mopeds to increase big time.
