I go through that all the time. My 1983 Kawasaki runs good and strong when I'm on it. BUT...it leaks oil when cold and burns a little when running. I'll still take it to Americade but something new that runs like it would be nice but there isn't anything. All the 650 and 750cc bikes are twins and just don't have the sound or feel of a good running four cylinder.

I get what you're saying about the Royal Alloy. I did the math when a dealer in Albany listed them. When all is said and done it's only a Grand less than a 300 Vespa. The cheapest 300 right now is the Kymco XTown but no one near here carries it and I hear you have to do a deep dive into the web to find reliable parts sellers for them.

A News Flash: I don't remember if you remember the talk of the Freedom 300 scooter which sounded good on Specs and the dealer is a solid guy too. Apparently an Italian design built in China and not cheap. It can be bought online with the Storm name but from not so dependable dealers.

Anyway. Freedom is not selling them or any scooters anymore and moving to motorcycles since the scooter market for larger ones is crashing. He refuses to do Tao Tao type scooters and refuses to pin his name on the cheap stuff that does sell.
