MB5 was a great two-stroke cycle!! They had 18" wheels, so the gyroscopic action was much like a motorcycle. It also had a 5 speed transmission with chain and sprockets to drive the rear wheel. Even though this was 50cc, you might have a difficult time getting one of these by the government as a 50cc scooter. In stock configuration, they were capable of hitting 55~60 miles per hour. I think they were rated at 6.5 horsepower. I would buy one of these in a heartbeat, but the people who own these know what they are worth. Kawasaki also made a similar bike called an AR80.
