I am looking to purchase a "retro" looking motor bike and considering a new Whizzer but have questions. I will use it to sight see on back roads and some may not be paved but would be no bader than what you could ride a plain bicycle on. My concerns are;
1) Horsepower at 4000 - 6500 feets elevation and rejet needed.
2) Wheel strenght on washboarded gravel roads.
3) Frame size - I am 6 foot 210 pound (food is plentiful in US).
4) I read in other places that the Whizzer rear suspension is "inadequate or doesn't function" - true?
5) Also read that the new NE5 has "nervous handling". What does this mean?
6) Tire size (width and strength)?
This motor bike would be used for slow speed sight seeing (25 mph max) but may be used half life on wash board gravel roads.
Should I be looking else where at other motor bikes for this purpose or build one (moneys is somewhat a concern as well is time). I have read about some built from bikes purchased from Walmart or other business using engine kits.
Please advise.
Thank you.
