Currently it will be the wife's to run back and forth to work and occasionally a pit bike.
The body work is fantastic with just a couple of injuries.
We have hills in the area and the torque is a little lacking. I'm not looking to make it crazy fast, but if it can get up to speed a little quicker or just get going a little bit more i maybe happier. I'd rather not do a BBK because the milage is so low.
I may fab up a front bracket/basket along with a rear basket, but we'll see. That maybe a winter project.
Very nice bike and fantastic (by my own standards... ) Photo!
Just so there's no confusion, the front forks and bodywork suggest that it's an SB50 Elite "E". It matters, a lot. It means the engine block is descended from the beloved NQ50 Spree, and that mods for performance are somewhat limited. Still, agile, light and 30+ MPH all-day-long ain't bad. You can read up on the many differences Here.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

better photo.
the schmutz on the front cowling is road grime from having it stick partway out of the trunk while moving it. I haven't even washed this yet.
