Whilst looking at sites that provide reviews of bikes, I came across this Honda. This is the 2004 model. Eww!!

Shocked

You know, somebody had to actually come up with this design!!
And then get the money to make it? From other poeple who would look at the design!! How??????????

The only thing scarier than the above is this:

Somebody bought more than 1??? Confused

But seriously now, can anybody explain what posessed someone to make a 50cc scooter like this? In 2004? (I would understand if it was 1970's/80's or something.... straaange people around then Razz

)

Anywho, your opinions appreciated...

NSR125-Kid-UK Should ask Pizza Hut to buy some in. All that boot space + Stability in the wet = Still not a job you would catch me doing.

God awful, looks like a 21st century Tuk-Tuk.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Hmm if we wanted to go to the full extent i could get some mining explosives, should do the trick of getting rid of them all, now just damaging them Very Happy

Although i can picture them bring fun, what about strapping yourself in jamming on the front brakes and see if you can roll it back onto 2 wheels? I wanted to try that on one of those BMW scooter creations.
