scooters are gay

lets face it scooters/mopeds are gay and often compared to fat chicks.
 although the idea of riding a moped is quickly dismissed by most, building a motorbike of 50 cc's or less opens many possibilities. for instance in Nevada you do not have to register or ensure a motor vehicle of 50 cc's or less. you dont even have to wear a helmet!
      Now here is my idea and what i am in the process of building for a client. i am building a motorbike based on the 1914 Harley




but with this engine
this is a honda XR50 engine. there are many clones out there that can be had for less then $300.00 brand new. why this motor you ask? well in stock form it is just shy of 50cc's and makes somewhere around 2 to 5 hp but many performance parts are available for this motor. big bore kits are under $100.00 in most cases. with the right parts and tuning 13 to 15 hp is very possible and would propel a motorbike with this motor well over 60mph. there is allot going into this build to make it safe. i am by no means slapping this motor into a bicycle frame and going 70mph. everything will be purpose built to handle the speed. check back for the progress.
