Anyway yeah I'm HIGHLY considering one. It's cheap cheap enough and I'm hearing the quality is decent, it's looking like exactly what I want for my commute. See any with a rack or some kind of luggage? I'd definitely need to be able to hold a 12 pack, or a bag of food, or whatever smallish. Top speed really isn't an issue, but have you heard of anyone changing the CDI to get a bit more top speed? I hear great gas mileage but not yet about how much mpg they get, what would you say? Top speed aside, how long about would you say 0-60? Any other mods you've looked at and didn't get but you know about it that you can share?
Thanks!
Well i put on some miles since this review. I don't remember the exact mileage but I do know it's over 8600 miles for sure. Install a tail trunk like I did. I don' know about a 12 pack but a 6 pack will fit for sure. lol. I'm still running the stock CDI. The CG engine is not a high revving engine so no need to get a CDI with the rev limiter removed. You will get more performance gain by installing a 4 degree advanced timing key. Key mods for performance gains are a well tuned carb, porting and decking the head and a good free flowing exhaust. If using for a commuter I would replace the rear sprocket with a 40-43 tooth rear sprocket. These bikes come really low geared for the factory with the 50 tooth. These bikes aren't really designed for 70+ mph speeds although I have hit 80 mph once but doesn't feel safe at the 70+ speeds. It will cruse comfortably 55-65 mph all day with ease.
