Now, that's my idea of a $hitbox. I'd never get on the highway in one of them.
1800+ lbs plus 500 lb load capacity with a 60 ci motor? Fast enough to get you into trouble. Fast enought to get you out of it? Accelleration and drive quality poor imo. I'll stick to my Harley. 80 ci with power, torque and plenty of agility in tight spots.

Word on EPA milege. Apparently, they have revised the rules. Uner old rules, the fourtwo gets 40+
