SYM Wolf Classic 150 - Cool itty bitty bike

[Shag]

I know I'll catch sh!t from some of y'all for this, but... oh well.
This is a cool little bike. I'd much rather ride one of these for the $ than a scooter. $2,999 brand new, 85 mpg, 24 month warranty, classic look... ****, it even has a working kick-starter (and electric starter). Yeah, only 9 lb-ft of torque and 14 hp and top speed of 65 mph, but... Check this thing out:

This was my 2nd "little" bike back in the day. 70hp and I think if I was going down a hill, leaning forward, and had a tail wind it "might" get up to 55. That was the national speed limit back then. Remember the oil embargo? Anyway, would love to have one of these today for the grandkids to ride. Yep it's not what I have today with the RSW but eh, you gotta start somewhere.

I just realized there's a dealer for these bikes in Durham, NC. Maybe 10 miles or so from where I work. I've even been at that dealer before with a friend who was looking at a used V-Strom. http://www.combustioncycles.com/wolf.html Hmm... Might have to stop by that dealer and take a close look at one of these bikes.

Hmm... Maybe even better... 2012 Sym Wolf Classic 150 for sale

I remember those! I think you mean 70 cc's ... not 70 hp !!

Maybe Church could fab up a VBak for it and you could get around 9.07 hp...

Does look like fun to tote around on though.

Have to agree, it is cool looking little bike. I do love the look of the old bikes. I am currently doing a complete restoration on a 71 yamaha r5 350. Keeping 100% origional except will be changing over to electronic ignition. With most people chopping up the old bikes to make bobbers and cafe bikes the orginals are looking better and better IMO. Do not know why anybody would do a scooter when you get a good looking little bike like the one above.

What if we took the stock little bike ...



...and modified it!! Rake it out, Have Kylenv put a fat a$$ on her, clean up the unnecessary rear inner fender and front turn signals off & have Christo fab up a chin spoiler, finish with a nice exhaust on it!!
