Has anyone bought a mini harley or a 'ninja' at pet boys ? I saw one with a tony hawk looking guy on it and I gotta ask myself: Is this for real or just aimed at the people with enough money to afford one (not little kids that would actually fit on it). Can that little 49 cc really pull a grown man around? How about on a dirt road? Up a hill? I figure they go about 15-20 mph or so but it sure would beat running up a hill. Not to mention the comic value in seeing a big guy in harley riding gear putting around on a little bike (dozen clowns in a rabbit) that got wet and shrunk. LOL!!

A dude I know has one of each and so does his brother, who comes over to have us fix them on a daily basis.I guess some of them are made of quality, but the ones I have seen are junk( a big waste of money).The 2 stroke does about 31 and it takes awhile to get there.the 4 stroke does less and takes longer to get there.When I say get there I mean because it has no gears it takes of boggy. Last night we work on one that was bought the day before. The motor was vibrated sideways which in turn, broke the exhaust, 2 motor mounts,the 4 bottom motor mounts. The seat was broken and the cooling fins were smashed down and part of the case was cracked.All in all I would say not only are they junk, but they are very impractical for any usage. :TrikesOwn
