MOPED ARMY

I've been looking for a new machine as well. You should see my recent thread regarding "New Moped Thread" I posted several pics of new mopeds.

The Puch turbo sport is a hella nice machine.

I'm leaning toward that or a Tomos. Almost everyone has had good luck with them.....

The "Pandas" are hot too--- neat bikes.

Hey if you're in bloomington, Indiana let me know, I am to. I own a Targa Lx. Maybe we could get together and do some riding.

i actually think buying new mopeds is good. if mopeds are going to make a comeback, we're going to have to start buying them. let the manufacturers know what we want. then we can hope they make them. i'm going to email bianchi again right now!

Hi,Andy! If you're a big guy(over 6'0" ),you might want to go for the Avanti line,although I'm holding off on one until they satisfy me on their trannies.I don't think the `Autopower' has the `lock-up'problem like some of the `Supersports'.Ask Ivan on this forum about the `Stinger' or `Autopower'.They are definitely for bigger people.The Tomos is fine,but just a little small for my needs.If you're of average size,they would do fine.The long-legged type though needs the Avanti for maximum comfort.IMHO,that is.

I'm glad you said`that you know of',Paul,`cause I don't pretend to know `em all and their sizes.But of the new ones,the Autopower and other Avantis are the biggest to my knowledge.Now,in the used dept.,the old Motobecane was really a big,tough bike.But at 6'3" I'd definitely be looking at the Autopower or if you wanna take a chance on the Stinger or Supersport(unexplained tranny problems that could just be isolated cases),they're big too.The Tomos' I own and have seen are just barely big enough for me(230lbs.and a little over 6'),and they're not as supple feeling as my old Sebrings.Sitting on a Tomos I feel lower to the ground.Just find a dealer close by and test-ride one of each if they'll let you.I forgot where you live?
