It's not a Buddy, or a scooter, but it IS a 50cc and it does go 124mph

Amazing.

that's a real pretty little bike. Can't imagine going 124mph on those skinny little tires though

A 50cc Kreidler was clocked on the Bonneville salt flats at 140 mph in 1965!

But officer, it's a 50cc! It can't go faster than 30mph!

I always love the look of cafe racers, but they also look like the most uncomfortable things to ride.

Is that its Terminal Velocity?

Unlike these, you can actually get an Aprilia RS50. It'll do 60+ mph derestricted.

I dream of going to Bonneville for speed week! What a great old vid. I just love that old style narration! Cracks me up. And the bike sounded just like the leaf blower that's being used outside my window right now!
