    This thing is a 125cc motorcycle based on their (Sachs) moped called the 'madass'. Now, I think it is just about the coolest looking 125 I have ever seen. Would you buy one?











    I would have said sorry for spilling gasoline all over him, except he burnt to death when I accidentally dropped my cigar on him.

    It would be better if it was at least a 250 or 400.

    Being a 125 I would guess about 100mpg. I had a CB125 and got about 120mpg. That is just about my only gripe. If the thing had like a 250-350cc twin I would be saving up some money. Even a 250 thumper would be nice.


    They made a 500cc but it doesn't look the same and I don't like it.

    Not that I want a 125 again, but I find this design strangely intriguing.
    As much as I've tried to get lost, everywhere I went, there I was.

    It almost looks like it would fold up and fit into a suitcase.

    The gas tank must be in the main frame tube. A clever idea but it just looks weird not having an obvious gas tank.

    I think the passenger foot peg is mounted on the swing arm. Must be a unusual sensation riding and having your feet get all the bumps etc of the road.

    The 250. Once again, I think the original 125 looks cooler. I wonder if there is a 250 engine that could be attached....

    It's really cool, the new innovative design is excellent, I would have personally preferred more cover on the side. which would have given it even more a hunk kind of look.

    If I had the money for one I may do it just for fun. It looks like the 250 version could transport a family of 12-15.

    the 125 size seems a bit small, the tires look like they're for a bigger bike and the rear disc brake is overkill for a bike this size.

    If it were a 250 - now maybe you have something.

    The design looks a little weird, but the dual headlights make it look a little more "up to date" than what we're used to seeing, but it's part of the future and we need to get used to it.
