Well with gas prices gettin crazy
I decided to buy used 2002 yamaha Vino
with 500 miles on it. YEah it looks kinda funny
but it gets 75mpg city!! I love about 1 mile
from work and school so its the perfect jumper
vehicle for short distances. Im gonna buy a
WW2 german style helmet with the spike on the top!!!
Isnt it the epitome of manliness!!!

Im going to do some mods this weekend
that will boost its acceleration and top end.

BTW sorry pic is so big, but Im at work
with no way to edit its size.

why not just walk the mile, lol.

 

Or run you may get there quicker.

 

I like to walk when I dont have to. (Does that make sense?) Rather than walk through all the traffic and under a major interstate, this was the next best thing.

 

lol, no kidding, I get a whopping 30mph on this thing. Im going to do an exhaust mod on it that will raise the bar to 40 mph. Which is about as fast as I wanna go on 10" tires...

 

Is that the one where you bore out hte restrictor plate on the engine end of the exhaust pipe? Does that thing run on premix or straight unleaded?

 

Thats the one!

You can also buy a 70cc upgrade kit that replaces the original 49cc cylinder piston and carb. That coupled with a HP exhaust (yes they really do have them for these) will get it to 60mph. Thats one cool thing about 2 cycle engines, they have endless power reserves just waiting to be let loose. I wish my 3vze was that easy!

 

I know that in VA the law changes when the vehicle exceeds 50cc. I believe that is why they make them 49cc. You don't need a license, registration or insurance for some, BUT ALWAYS A HELMET

 

Have you been watching Orange County Choppers? lol

How much did that little guy set you back?

 

Lol, I remember that episode. I bought it for $600. Everything is in excellent condition save for a few minor scuffs and scratches. It even has storage space under the seat for a 12 pack of Tecates (cans), 6 limes, razors, and a bottle of shampoo and conditioner.

Bachelor? YEs.

 

LOL it's kinda cool ! And I dig the MPG!
