My other bike now is a 650 Suzuki single. It only weighs 354 lbs. I also have a 150 cc Kymco scooter. Not real well known in the US, but one of the largest manufacturers of 2 wheeled vehicles in the world. Use it at the office to do pick-ups, lunch, wherever parking is a problem.Will cruise at 55 easily, even with my big butt on it.

You're right about the torque on large singles.

Have had over 40 bikes, scooters, etc. The Cushman is mostly a fun project and nostalgic. Don't expect to put many miles on that neat old thing.
