problems with small

problems with small frames

too small for anyone even near 6 foot
frames crack around floor board ends
and frames crack around leg shield tops
overpriced ss50 and ss90
gearbox and clutch are flyweight
motors need pulling from frame for most work
painful to work on for hand space
tyres are too small, small contact patch!
exhausts are convoluted
can't go two up very sucessfully unless you midget
only the desirable models have drop bars
dummy tanks and spare tyre location turn them into motorbikes
scooters are step through - you know
front brakes are ineffective
too pretty for their own good!
