Two wheeled apparatuses/i

I am pretty sure the 49cc bikes are the same in PA. A bit smaller than what I am looking for but I assume there are more similarities between your Ruckus and the PCX150 than between the 150 and a bike.

You really seem to enjoy your Ruckus as well. =)

PCX is a different bike, totally. Aside from being larger, the motor is bottom mounted vs top mounting on the Ruck. The PCX had PGM EFI and gets roughly 120 MPG while topping out at 70 and will run at 70 all day. Taller wheels of course. Pretty much everything a 250 could do in a lighter more nimble package with better gas mileage. There are aftermarket variators and weights that would let you get another 10 mph out of it as well as a program modification for the EFI that you can use to tweak you acceleration.

Depending on what I can find on CL, a PCX will be my next bike unless I find something like a 76, CB350/60 whatever, for the right price.

Good to know. Would not worry about the extra mph myself.

We should have invited you to stay with us during the Vintage Motorcycle Days event a couple weekends ago - where I took the scooter pic. There were so many CBxxx - 70's era bikes for sale in the Swap Meet area you couldn't swing road kill around without knocking several over at once.

Cool ☺ Were they also priced as collector bikes? LOL!

Some were reasonable; some were outrageous. Driver-quality stuff was going for around $600-800, and all which could be categorized as such were complete and in pretty decent shape.

That's actually pretty damn good.

I had many a Honda twin back in the day, and one 'lil CB-360T for years. It was a damn good bike.

I like my Ninja because they are well-made yet fairly inexpensive (mine was $1800 with 7300 miles on it, Dan;s was $1700 with 3400 miles on it), parts are cheap and they are easy to work on, plus they're just light and maneuverable. I hate getting into a car now. Of course, one of the biggest factors is mileage. I get about 65, even with 10% ethanol. That said, I'd consider a Honda. I test drove a CBR600 when I was looking for a bike for Dan and I really liked it. My parents were Honda people back when they rode in the 70's and 80's.

Looking at the little bikes; I have read a lot of reviews on the CBR250 and the Ninja 250. The impression I get is that they are both nice bikes but that the Ninja has a little more bite. Faster acceleration being the most often to be pointed out. However, having played with the CBR250, I hope the Ninja is a wee bit more comfy.
