• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I'd ride 2,6, and 10. Heck I'd take a spin on all of them what am I saying :D. Strange list for sure. Wonder what it is over here.
 
Scooters? I see small adventure bikes but not everyone needs to make themselves feel awesoome by getting a much larger bike than they can truly ride.... I dont agree with the naked bikes on there but the Tiger comes in an offroad model they just didnt put the right pic....

in the list kelly posted....3,4,5,and 7 are what most people would call scooters, or at least models that are "step thru" through in nature.

Yep, scooters are huge in europe.

some of the new scooters are cool and basically step through motorcycles. 650cc, fast, nice, expensive...

i bet the fuel mileage is insane. the older vespa 200cc smokers are a manual 4 speed..they look like they would be fun to modify. chambers and a ton of other parts are available pretty cheaply. the wife would love it and it could be my guilty pleasure.
 
Asia is full of those small scooters or small bike at ~100cc range .... Multiple brands all copying the Japan bikes ... The engine for those is sort of built in the swingarm area ... This is where you walk out of the house and get on one, probably in sandals and no helmet, and go to the store and return without much spent on gas; you can park them anywhere ... If everyone else is on one going ~20MPH tops, its safe and easy really ...Cures so many traffic problems ... I need one for here really ...

No KTMs is a small surprise on the ADV bikes ...
 
Same business models as most stuff , low, mid, and high range dollars on these type small bikes... Here, clones are about $1,1000, step up to a real bike and it's a ~25-50% increase in price, depending on what model .... A few of those ITL models are here; this is the high end and normally some older guy or woman will ride up on one ... They are like Caddys...

As weird and small as they look, for moving society around in smaller locations, these machines are as powerful as the machines we ride and do the job of moving people from point A to B, lots better. ~Every last person can ride one; plus, who can get off a bike and say they did not have a good time riding it? Again, just good for helping society as a whole have a better attitude.


Here is an example of that engine layout..

In Missouri any 50cc or less doesn't have to be tagged and the driver doesn't need a license or insurance. I see grown men on 50cc pit bikes riding around town, I'm guessing because they have a revoked drivers license... Also college students seem to like scooters.

when driving modest I get a 65 Km on a liter when driving assertive :rolleyes: it will drop to a 45 on a liter

top speed about 110 Km/ hour (normally hit the 85 Km/hour (assertive mode in town))

light, agile, fun and cheap

that is NOT TRUE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE the scooter dose not but if you dont have a license you can drive your tractor:thumbsup:
 
So when I saw a grown man on a pit bike with no plates going through Rolla MO on hwy 63 he had to have a motorcycle license but his bike didn't? What about insurance?
