MOPED ARMY

Kinda suprising that only one person replied to this thread...

It's one of two things I think:

A.) Nobody has heard of or seen an AR80 before.

or

B.) Nobody who knows about this rad bike comes into this forum because of all the stupid/time-wasting shit posted here.

Either way, the OT forum is pretty crappy.

No wonder there are like 6 people who post here.

Leaving the OT forum for good in 3, 2, 1...

ben is selling his AR80 in the buy/sell right now. someone should buy it.

So much cooler than an MB5. Wow, they don't show in much better shape than that, do they? How did you find it?

Nice looking bike, whats the top speed on these babies?

I found a green one...but the dude wants 2000 for it...its in probably the same shape but the seller is a douchebag. He tried to sell me a stock ass non running moped for 800 dollars...I kinda gave up trying to talk him down or even talk some sense into him when that happened.

you would've got half a crapton of WFFF if posted in gen, but another half of two thumbs up, too. i accept andrew's assessment but glad to see there are still roses among the thorns of this forum. the delicious twist of torquemada is amazing even compared to a kitted bitchslap, let alone our dear darned stock bikes. hope you can get the front brake and tires sorted soon so you can get a better feel of her. fwiw i paid 800 for mine, no fairing but naked is fine.

See? Just when I was about to give up, good, knowledgeable people chime in for some good banter... something I thought nearly impossible in this forum unless you are praising/slamming our "president".

Yes, Linda - GLORIOUS is a great definition.

I'm a huge fan of the fairing, so there's no way I'm gonna take it off.

As for "why fuck with it if its already so minty." - I won't "fuck with it" - as in, lose, sell, discard any of the OG parts. In fact, they would be stored with the greatest of care, should I decide to go back to stock.

However, I'm liking the bike so much as is I have no intention of changing anything in the near future.

I ordered four parts for the front master cylinder from my local Kawasaki dealer... $55!

Hopefully that's all I'll need to repair the front brake and get that working properly.

How I found it?

I traded this:

and a new Weak-Ends Flat Reed Derbi pipe for it.

A sweet deal I think... for both parties.

As for the top speed of the AR80?

I'm guessing 60+ mph

The bike has no title.

I have no motorcycle endorsement.

So, I can't really ride it too much except for up and down my street a couple times.

Saving my pennies for the lost title crap and for motorcycle license classes.

Yes, in FL you MUST take a $300 class before you are given a motorcycle endorsement. Ghey.

Looking forward to being legit though :)

cuperteens have 2 ar50s. They are super rad bikes. Kinda funny looking rear section, but tons of fun. One has really nice slicks

The other is looking much better than it was here. A work in progress

I was just about to mention that you can get your licensed transfered...they accept the endorsments of the other states...badass huh?

That titling thing might be an issue but I think you'll have to fork out some dough but it'll be worth it.

Nice find...the Floating Seat doesn't look like it would hold my fat ass for too long. That's the wierd looking part of it I guess

Hell to the yes keep the fairing...would look a little better with a shorter windshield, but that's my opinion. Who the hell am I anyway! I don't build rad bikes like JCams....only admire them.

I've gotten mine up to 60. Looks like you are missing the turn signals.

If the regulator goes, you'll blow your headlights.

I'm going to sell mine soon. I would trade it straight across for a solid running Vespa scooter.

He has a 90cc kit on this one and a 21 mm carb.

way cooler than an mb8 IMO

OT Does suck! I wish there were more threads like this.
