New from CA

[esquivel]

Hey all. Been lurking for a few days and decided to join after seeing all the great info here.

Was wanting to buy a BMS sometime early next year and hope to gain as much knowledge before I do.

A couple years ago I stopped by this new bike shop in town and the guy there turned me onto Boreem, which is what he carried, I guess its just now BMS. But sitting on a few Heritage scoots and learning they had GY6's was somewhat of a selling point for me.

A couple years later, loss of job, dealer is no longer in business and now with a new job and a split shift with 48 miles to travel. I need something to save cash and commute with. I'm 6'2 300 and have been thinking of a Pathfinder 150 or 200. I need top speed of only 55 and something CARB legal. Also something around 1500 dollars. Maybe you guys can throw me some suggestions. Only thing keeping me from the 250s is price. Want something asap.

;D Welcome to the forum.. I own a Roketa MC-13-250 ( Bali scooter). I owned it brand new 4 years ago.. Fastest had it was 77 mph, main speed in 55 to 60 mph, take good care of it- like new tires, windshield, new battery, change oil and gear oil regularly, ect.. Scooter costed new in crate $1700.. Regular maintenance is a must to keep any scooter running at peak performance.. I weighed 205 lbs and am 6' 2".. Doctor said my triglycerides where high causing blood pressure to get high. So I went on a diet and now wiegh 180 lbs and blood pressure is fine with no medications. Besides the diet, it took exercise too. Hieght to age, I am around the perfect weight. The Bali 250 can hold weight up to 400 lbs.. So you are not to much over weight for it.. lol..

Hello and Welcome. At 6"2 and 300 (and a 48 mile commute) I'd advise getting something a little bigger, say a 250? It's worth the extra money.

My commute is actually only 12 miles. But I have to do that 4 times a day.

Is there any 250cc thats CARB legal? I havent seemed to find anything.
