Wakan sounds very much like Voxan.

The fuel tank is probably that white bit underneath the seat. It still wouldn't hold much. Probably just enough to get you to the next petrol station.

So its obviously built for the overseas market then as bikes in France are limited to 100 bhp. Cool

To go with the free white flag, you get a selection of 6 reverse gears.
Very Happy

it looks like they spent ages on designing the front, looks like they bought the back of it from aldi on sale and didnt put any effort into the zorst at all. The blue one is a bit better but still has a stupid tail unit. Id be more concerned with the fact it looks like a rubbish pushrod engine. Who wants that in thier bike (except buell/harley owners)
