In most states, a motorized, two-wheeled vehicle with an engine displacement of no more than 50cc does not require special licensing or insurance to operate on public roads, excluding limited-access highways, such as freeways.

With a strong tailwind and down hill, one could possibly attain the euphoria-inducing ground speed of a whopping 40 mph on premium gas. The after-market is enormous and there are plenty of souped-up Ruckuses with engine transplants up to 150cc for sale by young men who have recently discovered girls.

Honda has several versions of that and it’s not just in 2021. Expensive, for what you get, but better than a scooter. And infinitely better than any of the pieces of **** made in China.

I really like the Honda Groms....but for $3.2K, there are some other good alternatives.
Honda has a goldmine in the Grom.

Yeah, go out ahead and get run over on one of those pieces of ****.

And, when it quits, enjoy getting it fixed.

the Italian choice - looks pretty good if scooters are on the shopping list.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

No, you just make bad choices in motorcycle purchases. My humble opinion as a rider for 45 years.
