japan moped?

Post by gza710 »

I live in Japan and have any moped to modify. Which one should I get. Something eventually modify to a LC kit. Trying to steer away from getting anything I can easily get from the States. I plan to bring it back to the States someday.

Where in Japan are you?

The DIO and JOGS roam wild in Japan. Pick up the af28 ZX like paul said, or grab a 3kj Jog.

get polini corsa watercooled/malossi mhr 2 rings, cast bore or aircooled bore polini corsa or contesta. you can get polini/malossi crank 10mm pin or 12mm pin.

in oahu not many guys get load cash to buy japan dio. hard to sell!

get too many low baller and trade for japan dio! just waste !

Im in kanagawa prefecture right now.

Which Jog is not available in Hawaii and I should modify? And whats the difference from a JP spec Dio and US one? I don't want to bring back a bike to Hawaii and look like the rest of the heard.

Thanks for the answers.

Any Yamaha with the 3kj motor will be the best. The "Finest Selection" and "Artistics" look the best IMO, but the nextzone(japanese) and aprio share the same motor(3kj).
