12/27/2023 0 Comments Onyx mopeds![]() Have been watching ONYX vids for a bit, and you know, they could really be worth the cost, it took a lot to develop, and the performance seems amazing, it today's dollars, minus my old guy cheap ass thinking, it is worth the cost.I hate myself for saying so, but the convenience vs a gas powered machine is undeniable. I'm probably big enough for a small motorcycle, maybe a 350 cc or the like, and maybe that's what a lot of us ought to do, because we all want that cheap, barn find Magnum, but the first thing we want to do is make it go faster than the other guy's Magnum, and some motorcycles show up on FB Marketplace or Craigslist for less than what we spend on a moped when it's all said and done.Ĭheck out this silly video. How stupid is that? I literally gave a guy $200 for nothing. Maybe get a 70 cc Passport, trail 90, I even put down $200 on a sweet Honda CB125 a couple of years ago and never completed the transaction. I've had mopeds since 1979 and for whatever reason, never made the leap to motorcycles. I have only fucked with Tomos and sachs engines (non moped old vespa, yamaha MC etc.)īut part of me thinks an onyx will be a cop out.Īnd that I'll get over it and just watch a kitted MAXI go by and think - that goes up a hill and that person probably made it go.Īttached is a magnum available currently : look at the price tag.ĥ5 years old, 7 kids (3 still home), 21 mopeds, only 1 is a top tank, and it currently goes about 30 because it's not been kitted. i doubt it is "up jet, add a performace pipe" So over priced, that the ohio riders would belly laugh and belittle me.Īlso - i have no puch experience, and don't even know what i wold do to an e50 to make it pull my lard ass up a hill. In LA a used mark II in generally over-priced. modern as fuck.Ĭons: if something goes wrong. So now i have nothing to work on in addition to not being able to go up a hill.Īnother factor: i have kids. ![]() Someone even brought it to Myron's back in the day and Shawn did the ignition upgrade.ĭownside: it is a stock Pug so it doesn't start off the line. And i want a top tank - i've never had one.Īnd I recently sold my vintage yamaha that I had rebuilt, and tinkered with, and modded and stuff.
