My only MC was a Honda 65. I had to use the rear pegs and lay on the tank to go on the freeway, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. If I wanted more speed, I'd streamline something. I don't understand the point of rapid acceleration. I can always "adopt" a truck if I'm worried about getting run over from behind.
BTW, I recently salvaged a Honda 125 from a quad. It has 5 speeds + reverse and electric start, with the horizontal cub cylinder layout. I might build a 1+1 microcar for it, with the cylinder head showing out the front. I need the heat, and the directional stability. The whole power package is about 100#, though, so if I'm not quick, it may be rendered obsolete by electrics.
