And I can get 150 mpg and it'll run off cooking oil and can't kill it! I used to have one and didn't realize they still made them! Check out how tough it is!!   :D  Go HONDA!!  :cooldude:  ;D

That'll be pretty cool once you stuff a Valk motor in it!

But then I'd be back to 30 mpg and having to buy real oil!  :2funny:  :2funny:  :crazy2:

I've actually been looking for one of these for quite some time but they're no longer imported into the US.  I had one in the 60's and just didn't appreciate it then.  I either want one of these or its cousin, the CT Trail 90. 
Been lookin'... just can't find one. I've even had my son check out shipping one here from the Philippines!

You never no, try putting some vegetable oil in and see how long a Valk will run.  ;D ;D ;D

I ran a 90cc version as a messenger bike in London years ago. Only for a couple of weeks whilst my Kawasaki Gpz550 was being fixed

What an amazing work horse that was. Ran all day getting whipped by me and never a grumble apart from a need for some oil at the end of each day.

I got me a bigger one, a 1981 70cc Passport.  I ride it a lot around town, 95 mpg 3 spd transmission and it will do 40 mph.  Hoser  :cooldude:

Cool Passport, I didn't even knpw they made them and looks like the Cub! The only Passport I've heard of is the SUV. ;D  Is it considered a moped or motorcycle?  :-\

Any thing over 49cc is a motorcycle in Kansas.  It has 2475 original miles on it, I traded a riding mower for it.   Hoser   :cooldude:

I got a nice riding mower I'd trade!  ;D I just found out they quit exporting them to the US in the early 80s. Looks like she's in excellent condition.  :cooldude:
