Default Pocket Bikes

Jusst trying to get everyones opinion on these things. They are 80% the size of a real motorcycle and can do 65+ mph cruising. Has anyone looked into these or heard anything about them. The companys website is http://usa-pocket-bikes.com

Was thinking about getting one to learn on seeing the sub 1k value. Motorcycle on a budget...

i bought a cheap one of those off of ebay for 25 bones plus $150 shipping. Drove the thing for like 3 months then sold it for a hundo...they're sweet-and even sweeter to hmt upgrade (i.e. suspension, porting, etc.) but if you buy one of those nice expensive ones, i don't know how willing i'd be to hack it up
