Michigan riders?

Come now... No need to make blanket statements like:

"If you want something cheap that will last a summer, go for a cheap 2 stroke."

"Gas bikes are stinky and must live outside or in the garage"

What gas bikes have you had? Both my Mitsubishi 2 stroke, and Honda 4 stroke lived in the garage & didn't stink it up... And, while the cheap 2 strokes do have a shorter life expectancy (on average) than do higher quality motors, some of them do last a long time. We've had many reports of HTs lasting years/thousands of miles.

Sorry to offend the Happy Times riders, I just was not impressed by the build quality of the motors, in particular the metal is soft. Its just an opinion, I don't think much of Happy Times. After riding a 4 stroke, I will always recommend a 4 stroke over a HT. However I do respect the Tanaka and Robin type 2 stroke motors although I have not had one.

Regarding the stinky aspect, I just meant that you can't really bring a gas bike in the house, where the electrics can be brought inside the house. Not that I'm allowed to bring bikes into my house.

Just one mans opinion.

I know what you mean about HT's. They are all made real cheap. Sometimes you get lucky and get a good one. Other times something might break right away. It is rolling the dice.

I keep my gas bike in my apartment. I have no other choice. This place looks like a garage.
