MOTORCYCLIST Magazine has a write up on them this month. Apparently they LOVE them. These mini bike fads come and go about every ten years or so. I still lust after the '86 Z50 Honda in Chrome that I should have snapped off the dealership floor and kept forever. I later bought a White one for my son when he was Four. He wouldn't touch it, even with training wheels. The Chrome model still is getting top dollar on the collector market. Regardless, I am waiting for Kawasaki to fire back, as it's model, likely a year off, will without doubt have more power and performance, while being priced just to compete with this thing.
Little bikes have historically always been fun, attention getters. Like the scooter craze that comes and goes, I wonder how much road rash will be attributed to first time riders in board shorts, tank tops and flip flops.
Would make for a fun "box stock" race series at the local kart tracks though!
I killed some cones after the last timing gate (and got my ass chewed) but, the time stood. Making it all well worth it to see my name in lights, as brief as it may have been. But, my plan worked!
