Default New bike!

I got a new bike yesterday (Thursday). I found it on CraigsList and just had to have it. Definitely not going to be my primary bike, but it's something I can ride around for fun, or let my little brother use on back roads. It was a steal for $140.

Already had some fun on it with some friends. At least I can ride it in the snow!





Planning on doing some things to it. Needs a mirror or two, maybe some signals, wanna put some other lights on it as well. It's a 43cc, 1cyl, .26gal tank, .47HP, electric and manual-pull start, 99lbs, and a top speed of about 20mph!

They don't hurt, but I'm keeping them on for my lil bro. He's almost 12, and is even afraid of riding on the Ninja with me going 20MPH for 3 blocks.

I might ride it to work a couple times, or just use it around town on the bike sections.

That thing looks like a V-twin? You said single cylinder, does it have a fake cylinder? It could be a chopper for Tatoo of fantasy island!
Have fun on your new chopper.

Looks like the real engine is just under the seat area and after the fake v-twin look.
