i got the tank because it was all i could find in my price range.... 50 bucks. and well i liked the way it drove and such but i hate the way the moter runs. id like to get a good moter and do a swap out

well s***, if you got it for 50 bucks, youre lucky it got you 10 feet. id say if it got you home the first time you rode it, you got your 50 bucks worth out of it

then you got more then your fair share out of it. youd NEVER see ANY moped here for 50 bucks.

i got my honda spree fer 30 bucks and i had to make almost every part for it but it ran til the piston clip fell out and scored the * out of the piston and cylender

30 bucks? s***, a bare frame with nothing on it goes for over 100 bucks here.

Most scoots/MC's in MI are low milage. No riding season. And worthless; ppl just keep buying new ones and throwing out the old. I've pulled a couple off the curb here (garbage.) You don't need the title, you know.

im 100% certain you need a title of "permanent certificate of registration". otherwise its not yours and it could be labled as stolen if you dont re register it under your name

I got my spree for $25, not running. took another $150-200 to finally get it going.

and now I'm confused, what "tank" are you talking abotu exactly? I'm not aware of the 50cc model.

but still if all it needs is a piston and rings, thats not that big of a deal.
