[QUOTE="fatcaaat, post: 172265, member: 1656"] i sat on both of them. the passport is as comfortable as the original with similiar seating. I'd consider one if I needed a scooter for local riding. The monkey is NOT comfortable to me IMO. It feels just like sitting on a ST90 but with a lower handlebar position and the bars too far back. Powerwise, it is the same as a grom....its the same engine. I expect that there will be a huge aftermarket for the bike and you'll be able to do whatever you want to it...i'd assume someone will make folding bars. 4000 is A LOT of cash to lay down for this. I can build a killer vintage bike for a little more than half of that. if I were going to buy one, I'd put it away and never touch it...and 50 years later it might be worth something. However, for the same money, I can buy a damn near original z50 or ct70 and put that away and guarantee it would be worth much more later. I was at the Smokey MOuntain crawl, and my $3k custom build absolutely destroyed every grom it encountered other than the ones with the cbr250r engine transplants. that includes the finbro 200cc versions...they were sniffing my exhaust.... so, don't look to this bike as something to build a speed demon from. It really is just a put put bike that will get you some looks and be pretty forgiving as you learn to ride it. . [/QUOTE]
