Hi,
A friend of mine wants to buy a bobber scooter/motorcycle, because they're pretty affordable, and he likes how they look.
However there aren't that many to choose from, and he wants one with the lowest possible price, that would still be a good scoot.
His preferences are reasonably simple:
1- A cheap, sub $1000 bobber, that is also
2- Reliable (most scoots are)
3- Reasonably maintenance free (except for brake pads and oil changes)
4- Goes 50MPH+ (he needs to use it to go to work, which means crossing a 50MPH bridge, in other words, he needs a 150cc or higher)
5- Has classic white wall tires.
6- Has to be new!
I've read a lot about mounting kits, where one can mount their own bobber, and saves money that way, but haven't really found one yet.
Aside from used ebay bobbers, the cheapest one I found was twice the price of his budget.
Most results show up in Alibaba, but most of them he needs to buy a lot, and he does not want that. Plus, there's really no guarantee on receiving a good product on alibaba. Any idea where else he can start looking for one?
