does anybody like the full size mini choppers? i know being that they are only 200CC or less engines they aren't that fast, but that being the case they are so fuel efficient its crazy and with a full size tank they drive between 600-800 miles on one fill up. they can go as fast as 85MPH and they look so good. i found some for under a grand brand new. what do you all think? should i buy one once i get my tax rebate?

here is a link to the ones i found on craigs list.

they are ok. good for the money and gas. but do you really want to be in one of those on a highway and have a real one just blow by you and you're stuck there like, ummm........ thumb in butt.

well considering mine will cost almost 1/10 of what theirs cost them, and i'm going to be getting 2 times the mileage, i'd say yeah. those full size mini choppers are just a motor mounts, engine swap, rear sprocket, and rear tire away from becoming a real chopper. i'd rather just have a nice looking bike than a 12,000 dollar bike that can go 140MPH. plus i'm much more of a cruiser fan with bikes than a speed fan. i had a 94 Honda CBR600 and i took it up to 160 on the freeway once. that amount of speed on 2 wheels was insane, and i'd much rather have a nice easy rider than a speed machine for that type of application.

i seem to hear people say i look like some dude from a huge hardcore rock band(i won't say which one kuz i don't want people looking at my profile pic and saying, "those people are crazy.") and that i should go out and buy me a chopper. i have wanted a chopper since i got rid of my crotch rocket. i look at it as a open opportunity that it just so happens i found a brand new full size chopper with a mini chopper motor in it for less than $600 right before we all got our tax rebates back.

You look way different than i thought, You could roll up on the seen like the opposite of that movie Wild Hogs,,,,,,,,,,Great gas saver..Id do it and drive your car when you have to,,,,,,gas is only going higher(hopefully I jinxed it!)and if you spend on gas like i do youd of paid for that bike in gas in a year or so.

Ill just take my ZX-6 and its 48mpg and call it a day.

Oh... and I call b.s. on the 160mph. The CBR 600F-600F4i can only do 140.
