This one isn't just for the wimpy or limp wristed rider.





It's a HD powered design by Craig Vetter.
I think it's Retro-Kool!

Light years from here and Galaxies far, far away

By the looks of the pictures you might have ridden one of these when you was a former jedi master!!!

Looks cool. But it also looks like it might bend in the middle if you mistreated it even a little.

Then it's a good thing they're not offering it to ya. 
I can appreciate the work put into it... for what it is.

Me personally it's not my taste but as I always say: To each his own.

I noticed there is noone sitting/riding it in the pictures, it looks quite uncomfortable.

It's definately no Honda "Elite" (which is what I have).

On Mythbusters they shined up a piece of crap, I can also appreciate the work gone into it but it still was a piece of crap.

I rode a Suzuki Bergman 650 cc scooter the other day, that sucker will go 80 mph easy!  It is a parallel twin, I believe.  Water cooled of course.  Honda makes a 600 cc, not quite as fast as the Zookie.   Hoser  cooldude

Two Summers ago, I was sorta chased by a Bergman scooter.  As usual, I kinda hit it at the light to get out ahead of the herd of cages, then back off to 5-7 over to avoid performance awards, but keep my private space of road.  The Bergman would fall back cause it lacks the power of the Valk, but each time he would reel me in in short order, and tag along behind.  Quick little bustards for sure.

It kinda reminded of the old joke about the guy on a scooter getting his elastic suspender strap caught on a fast car's mirror.  LOL
