First, I'm not laughing. I just Google'd that bike. Not bad at $679 plus another $100 in shipping and you're in the wind.

Second, the ad claims up to 70+ mph. It is a 110cc bike, in many states you need more than that to get on the freeways. Some states want 125cc's and others want 225. So, it sounds like it will be plenty fast enough for non-freeway use.

Finally from what I have seen these bike use an engine based on really old Honda motors and some parts are interchangeable. I had a 1983 110cc Honda three wheeler that went for years with basic maintenance, so who knows, you might get lucky. Enjoys it for what it is.
