Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

A Chinese cheapie!  I like how they say over & over how reliable it is & has spark plugs and throttle body carburetor of Japanese manufacture.  The description makes it sound like they supply engines to Honda, etc. - but they're just saying it's just as reliable.  Bet it starts falling apart within a few hundred miles.

We ought to join with Victory to claim trademark infringement!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

With innovative features like... Wheels and...exhaust pipes. Yamaha and honda have those features too...see we're just as good.

It pissed me off, so I jammed a screwdriver into it, hit it with a hammer, and spun it around with a pair of vice grips. Let that serve as a warning

Whats up with the crash bars too?  Looks like you can completely roll over and stand it back up again without getting off.

i like how the headlight is only as high as the bumper of that dodge.  i bet my knees would be at my chest while riding that thing. looks like it would be cool for a 12 year old ;D

careful that you don't overlook the the good parts of that chopsicle.....

"Front Suspension TWIN" does come in handy, and is prefered over the forks that only have suspension in one leg.

if it ain't broke..... take it apart and find out why

Maximum torque and power!?!??! is 16.9 maximum for a 250cc?  Yeah, and I'd just love to hear how it sounds too.  phhhbbbbbttt  pppffhhhhbbbt ppppfffhhhbbbtt

It kinda reminds me of one of those "bargain" bikes you can get at PepBoys around Christmas time.  ;D

David

It does look kinda cool though.  :o

mopeds are like fat girls, they're both fun to ride 'till your buddys see you on one...

Hmmm, polish wheels.

I have to wonder though, maybe it has a good alternator.

To be honest, $2k is pretty close to Rebel 250 pricing, a much safer bet for reliability and parts availability. I bought mine for $500 several years ago, and aside from 2 dumpings (both rendered courtesy of friends learning to ride) It's been almost 100% trouble free. A bit less impressive than the Vision or the Duc, but tons less maintenance. Alright, off my soapbox.

I actually had a chance to ride a new Rebel and Virago at my MSF course and liked both of them a lot.  Aside from being 250cc bikes, they had a fairly comfortable pickup/acceleration.
