NEW GUY FROM BIRMINGHAM(AL) By aquateenungerforce (Read 488 times)

Hello.
Got here via link from valley scooters. Ive been looking at CF moto v3 for years now but unfortunately I understand they have been discontinued. Recently I came across the kikker 5150 websight and they look interesting if for nothing else, they tell you up front that you will be constantly working on them. I would love any input that anyone has on either of these two. I've been told that 250 cc is the point of diminishing returns for power/fuel milage as 70 mph at 70 mpg is about what to expect. Is this about right or way off?
what will i use it for? commuting, having fun, goofing around, or all 3 at once
thanks

Welcome Force(hehe),
name to long to type I cannot reember if anyone has one or the V5 but if they do they will chime in.
Again welcome and it is correct after 250s the MPG drop drastically.

Welcome to the forum! They are interesting looking for sure. Seems that a lot of people are making machines now with the yesteryear look.

I'll agree with Alley after 250cc MPG won't be that great but for sure it should be better than a lot of cagers! If you do get one keep us informed, would love to see how these things shape up.

Welcome to the forum, aqua. It does seem that the V3 has been unavailable for some time. The new 2013 V5 (Cruz) should be available about now. It is fuel injected and has other goodies for about the same price that the V3 was.

A bobber from kikker 5150 (with a 250cc) would be in the same ballpark as the Cruz. Kikker apparently sells kit bikes which can be a lot of fun. Here is a dealer that has a 250cc bobber which requires minimal assembly and might save you about $1000.

There are a lot of nice scoots out there in the price category you are in. Have fun.

about two new V3's for $2250 each . compared to what ive seen on the internet this is a very good price. I googled his name and the business and they have a B rating with BBB tho not a member. and zero negative message traffic on the interwebz otherwise. So have any of you guys dealt with this company? I appreciate all info. this is the kind of deal i'd feel stupid not to go with if all other signs are go.
