I have just one question. Why?

If you go to the jetsrus web site and look at the scooter section of the photo gallery, you will see why.

I know Matty! I've seen some with big bore turbo kits.... Big carbs....


WHY!?


On a motor that small - they're dumping $1500+ for maybe 10hp in gains....




I saw one the other day while I was at lunch with a SSSA... My wife and my friend's wife laughed at that guy.

Maybe some day I can get another one on the cheap.

I (used to) weigh more than that entire motorcycle....





























Don't know if you guys have ever seen a naked 749, but that's an impressive job cleaning up all of the stuff Ducati puts underneath those fairings.


































I would LOVE to build a Harley like that. I'd ride the hell out of it!

This has to sound cool for an on/off type and light enough to push home. lol

That is an AWESOME way to tell how much fuel is left - I don't care who you are.


That's a funny/ratty-cool thing to tow to a show, but surely, no one rides that thing, right?
