This may elicit a big yawn from most, and yes, it is indeed appearance-challenged, but presents interesting possibilities. The article explains it was designed by and primarily for use in Thailand and goes on to talk about the frequent flooding, making this more of a necessity there than a novelty.

The camo doesn't help it look any better.

I expect we'll never see it on these shores and even if it did appear, it wouldn't be much of a seller.

It does look more off-road capable than the Zuma, though. And I expect the long travel suspension would make for good on-road riding as well.

There's been a thread on this before. I don't necessarily dislike it, though the camo is a bit much. Matte black or green would be nice. 115cc is a little smallish also. All said, I'd like to take ot for a test-ride.

Oops, sorry. I scanned the list but didn't find a reference to it. Guess I didn't go back far enough.

Bro I wasnt giving you shit. There were just a lot of good comments on there.

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!


...I want one.
You can always paint it a different color if you don't like the camo anyway. I think the camo is kind of nifty personally. It's definitely different, at the very least.

Thanks for adding that.

That unit would sell here if it ever arrived, IMO. R
