As an owner of 3 Pacers with Morini engines, I say get the Puch. While Pacers are the most awesome bike ever made, unless you are prepared for such awesomeness you should go with a beginner level machine. Then as you go along and work your way up the awesomeness by getting an Italian Minarelli based bike like a gadabout. Then Finally as you reach enlightenment you can look at a Morini powered Pacer. ;)
