Those are very cool! I wish I could fold myself up to ride one but the hips and knees would scream in protest! :laughing
 
How and under which category? No lighting, signals, brake light, etc....

I've been wanting one but the limited use has me hesitating, but now, hummmm.

That's a tail-light and brake-light on the back above the lic. plate !:thumbup
 
I've not ridden the GP-2 but the GP-0 exhaust is clearly not compliant for street use. I don't see a mirror. So you just roll the dice and hope you don't get cited?
 
Ah ok a mirror ready to go. The volume from the exhaust seems like it will be a problem though no?

I have a "Db killer" I am working-on to quiet things down... :cool

This is not going to be my "daily commuter" so it will see very little road-use !
Mostly will be ridden in a group of other "mini hooligans" so I won't stand-out !
Sometimes with these guys... :afm199

Well I have been planning to buy one this year if certain other things happen. Would be interested in knowing about your purchase. Upgrades, wait from order to delivery, experience with Rise Moto etc. But I was just thinking of running it at kart tracks.
 
Cool always wanted to ride one. Will definitely blow those groms and Z125s away.

It was $9500. (which included 5 day airfreight delivery from Italy to my door)
Included upgrades for that price was,
Better front forks and the Slipper Clutch.
It took less time from order to delivery than I was quoted, ( I think around 4-5 weeks.)
No problems with Rise Moto...
In the right hands, (not necessarily mine) this little weapon is,
"King of the Kart Tracks" !!
:ride
 
I suppose the lighting is ok w/o a headlight. But I'm real curious as to the CA reg. did you get it plated as a motorcycle or something creative? Did you have the CHP inspection (how did that go?), any trouble with a service center or mech doing the CA lighting signoff certificate?

This is intriguing!

Sorry, can't tell you the details,
I could tell you, but then I would have to... well, you know the saying. :laughing
 
I am known as "The Mini Bike King" (but you can call me, "mini-king")
I have a large collection (40+) of (street-legal) U.S and JDM minis.
(from the '60's-up)
So, everything I own is plated (maybe not currently, some are Non-op'd)
:thumbup
 
What lol, what is the maintenance intervals on the new 190 motor?
 
Nice, Joe!!!!! How about some other pix that display your lighting (front and rear). I haven't ridden the 190 yet, but damn! the GP0 150cc didn't fit well with me. And I'm short (and fat)! ..... or maybe just too old (55+) for those lil bikes now :laughing :laughing
