Below is the picture of my 2006 Tank shortly after I bought it. Still looks the same; no scratches or dings. When I posted my pic on Scootdawg back in 2006 several comments were made about something being wrong with the picture. Other than some old dawg members can anyone pick out what is wrong with the pic (if anything)?  It does have a windshield now along with some flame graphics covering the horrendous 'Sunny'. |

The only thing I see is that it is on the CENTER STAND and the Rear Wheel is on the Ground  Alleyoop |

You win the prize. I had received all kinds of comments saying I had a balance issue with it. Actually it's parked on an inclined driveway.

Well my guess was you had a bunch of stuff in the trunk and making the wheel go to the ground! LOL But she's still a fine looking scoot!

I wanted a color bright enough for the 'cagers' to see.

The old Tank

Hmmm....
When on the center-stand, if my fuel tank is FULL, my rear wheel is on the ground. If my tank is almost empty, the front wheel is on the ground. With half a tank, BOTH wheels are off the ground, and in the wind, it rocks back and forth from front wheel to rear wheel.
I always figured the center-stand and its little foot-piece was designed that way so the scoot was pretty much balanced fore and aft, so either wheel could be removed simply by putting a small amount of weight on whichever end you wanted on the ground, leaving the other end "up in the air"...
I usually get on the scoot before starting the engine, but many times I've started it on the stand to warm it up, rear wheel on the ground, and even if I goose the throttle and spin the wheel, it just harmlessly "chirps" a few times. The scoot never even comes close to driving off the stand.
Who knows what the designers actually had in mind with the stand placement? Probably nothing at all. It just ended up somewhere near the center of gravity...
Ride safe!

Good scoot. i had a 2006 red Tank Touring 150 but gave it to my stepson and it now resides
in TX.. Had about 2000 miles on it before it left here and never had a problem with it.
Tank and Roketa were being made on the same assembly line and were pretty good
Chinese scoots.
