That looks like a great beginner bike. I bet I could really learn how to ride on that one. You think a dealership will sell me one?:moocow:

Neither is it's chassis geometry or suspension settings, but I don't think that that is what Suzuki had in mind from the get-go.

They don't have any problem selling them. And since not much of the frame is changed, all those aftermarket shops that turn these things into chrome plated christmas trees shouldn't have to worry about retooling much :D

i must admit after about 5-10k in extras they look pretty sweet....but you could make a moped look good with 10k invested in it
