The new Honda PCX scooter would make a great starting point for an around town streamliner project. I am starting to see second hand availability at $2800. It is getting 105 mpgUS stock at 35mph and has a really nice new engine which is unique in the two wheeled world as being quite under square bore/ stroke. It also has the worlds first? engine start/ stop system for a two wheeler? But The PCX is too small for Vetter class, cross country use. Only 11hp. Top speed would need custom gears to get beyond 60mph if there is any wind and the 14 inch wheels could be bigger.
