I just came back from my third ride on my new Dragon.  I had an epiphany:

 The Valkyrie  (if you are tall enough to mount it) is as easy to ride as a Honda Ruckus, and I would venture to say the engine is smoother.

  And yes I have a ruckus too!

   I'm selling it.

I sure hope 1520cc engine is smoother than a 50cc scoot.  Cheesy

I'll keep my 249cc near 20hp scoot for awhile longer though since at idle, it rumbles/vibrates the mirrors and handlebars ever so slightly to remind me what a HD feels like.   Grin  PLus,  I have been know to pass slow moving HD's with it when they putz doing 55 mph as 3 HD's did 2 days ago to work since my top speed is pushing 78 mph as my hand held GPS shows.  Gets a tad sketchy flooring it though for very long, but runs very well at 65 mph no problems.  Didn't even break a sweat passing 3 HD's in a row doing 55 mph they probably thought what is that 285lb. dude have in that thing?   Roll Eyes

Sounds a lot like a Honda Reflex I bought for my wife 3 years ago.  These maxi scoots can be a blast.
