Anyone one have any idea where to find parts> its only got a 49cc motor on it.. but stock i think it was said to go like 50-60mph....

well it a 50 cc motorcycle that was only in production in the usa for one year 1982- they are fairly rare and super awesome...if you do a google search you will find more info about them.. they are still really popular in other countries.

Yes, it's Honda. Kindof kool, will do 45-50MPH stock. Looks like a 50cc racebike with street-legal stuff. I've been casually looking for a cheap one for awhile.

There's a Yahoo! forum dedicated to these bikes, and several websites. There's a 70cc jug from another Honda bike that fits up, and a 5 speed transmission that can be swapped in, details on website. With those mods the bike can touch 70 MPH+.

if anyone in the seattle area is looking for one, i got two for sale, not 100% set on the price but i would like to see 800ish for both. One has title and needs a tune up the other no title, parts bike.. i got pics if you want to see

* i might even be willing to crate them up and send them somewhere if pay for it

but thats a lot of work and time i dont really have and its fairly costly...

Feel free to email me and let me know, as the girl did not work out so well and i just dont have the time to play with them anymore.
email me on here or justin.hartley@gmail.com

Here's a pretty nifty site on these bikes, just loads up kinda slow:

and here's a record list of modded mb5s and their speeds, pretty impressive:
