"kick it over?" Isn't it electric start? The harley ones are. That's what I think makes them so cool. They aren't relying on a pull starter. Classy.

That's a damn good price depending on specs I guess.... My mates got theirs for almost a grand each!
And 79rollaboy - You'll have a ton of fun dude. These things kick ass! My mates ride them up to the pub and stuff..... They are below the capacity that a license is legally required for.

In Vic they are illegal to ride on the road. The law states that it has to be below the 0.2kW (200W) power output. It is then classified as a power assisted bicycle. If it is more than 200W then it isn't registerable and isn't allowed to be ridden unregistered. ie: You're fucked if a cop decides to stop you.
Oh, and I will beat all of you on one if I get one... Due to a muscle condition I have I am uber skinny. I weigh 45kg... Power to weight baby. OOHHH YEAH!

Mine was awesomely good at $670... its the type that'll push 70km/h usually the faster ones go for around $1k to $1.8k the ones that'l only do 50km/h are cheaper... but no one can complain with $450...

Race bikes... Valentino Rossi used to and still races them... he won the Minimoto GP 2 years in a row... they respond over 5 times faster than full size bikes... racers use them to hone their skills...
