OT: Just got a Kikker 5150 bobber motorcycle

Depending how big the engine is, you can get up to 70-75 mph.

how fast does that badboy go. I recently sold my BigDog and now with the weather warming up been thinking about jumping on an old beater shovelhead to get around town in. Gotta check one of these out.

70-75mph stock, but you can of course change out the sprockets and do other mods to get them going faster... I got it just to cruise the strip on, or to just relax on, Iam not much of a speed demon in my older days... lol

I really dig the style but I'm definately too tall for it.

You can do some mods to fit better on them.. like put a simple bolt on seat extension, i have seen people up to 6'4" on them, but i dunno how tall you are...

hoping to get my Puch maxi up to 55... She only goes 40ish right now, but I havnt really started tearing in to it yet.

Its like the tiny retarded brother of that bike. With pedals, Centrifugal transmission (2speed) and no license reqs hahaha.

Puch maxi's are awesome, used to have one back in the day.

It just kept going and going and going. When it stopped, I either had to fill her up, clean the sparkplug or kick the block and it would gladly continue or merry quest.
(Though with my Proma exhaust, fast cilinder head and modified carburettor I was able to pull 65 to 70 km/h.)

Crazy thing happened to me today. Saw one of those bikes while I was out getting a bite to eat. Thing looked SICK. Unfortunately.... it was in the back of a truck, and not actually blasting around.


And yes Tekki, Maxis are awesome. I've only had mine for about 3 weeks, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'll never hit 55 on flat ground hahaha.

[sine143]
