When Darth Vader was 14, he begged his mom to get him one. But alas, his mom said "NO". :cry:

That 110cc has a very low compression ratio. 6.5:1 will allow it to run on gasoline with lower octane ratings than I've ever seen in the US. It makes 8hp, which is about 1 less than the Buddy. Pretty impressive for a low compression ratio. I bet it will be a scary ride when the tuner types get their hands on one.

The headlight area makes kind of a smiley face, especially when you view it straight on. What I really can't get around is the alien head up above the headlight area. It just begs for a cardboard sign with crayon lettering that says Area 51 here we come.

I like that the original name for it in Taiwan is the PMS. :-)

I want them to bring the PMX over here, I like the more rugged style of it.
