Was thinking of a bike w big enough eng. to cruise effortlessly at 55mph,
that maybe has more alum. parts as not to rust much in constant rain use.

Prefer NOT a chain, need high seat (6'4" with very long legs)

Prefer 1 of 4 Japanese brands, must be dirt cheap like used '80's bikes are priced now. want good mpg too!

Yep! Want the cake, and eat it too!

Ideas???
