Kikker 5150
Anyone familiar or have any experience with one of these 'kit' bikes.

I always felt the 5150 was lacking an engine. Nice looking bike, but there's a big hole where the engine should be.

They're interesting bikes, but I'd promptly drop a 230 CG motor in there.

I read that the kicker 5150s are no longer available as a kit. You must buy the assembled bike. I wish I could remember where I saw that. Last time i was on a kicker site, there was a model that had a 200 or 250cc engine.
