N00b from Chicago with questions

[stosh]

Hey everybody! This seems to be a great forum but it has so much info my head is spinning after two days of research.

My budget is limiting me to a 150cc chinese scoot but I prefer the "touring" style bikes like these:







Does such a thing exist? Preferably for under $2K


Since I haven't found any like those I'm considering the Lance Duke Touring 150cc. Any strong feedback positive or negative on this machine is appreciated. Can anybody point me in the direction of a decent online store to buy one?

I appreciate your feedback, I know someone's gonna tell me to search. I did, it's just extremely taxing sifting through all the varying info and I'd appreciate some simple answers. Thanks!

A lot of people have good things to say about the Lance brand. Many happy owners with mostly trouble free experiences. The prices right now are going up, up, up, so I'd check the dealer forum and make some calls. I reckon if you're going China scoot then you're on the right track.

And welcome to the Dawg Pound!

I just bought a Lance Vintage (150cc), and it's pretty solid. The vintage is more of a cruiser than touring style, but most of Lance's 150 line seem to be around $2k right now. Check as many dealers locally as you can, though. They can sometimes surprise you, pricewise, even after weeks of internet browsing.

Welcome, I'm new here, too.

mxmotorsports has this style avail. in a 150cc, but I don't know how powerful the ride would be since it's designed for the larger engines.

Hope this helps.
