I found a Honda Dio for sale like 15min from my place in Toronto. Personally I'm not interested but one of my brothers might be. It's a year 2000 Dio with about 1100 miles on it (1800kms) and it's a 50cc 2-stroke. Does anyone know if these things are restricted and how much aftermarket options there are? I think there's a ton of stuff you could do but I'm not sure.

Wow I just checked on VTCycles.com and they have so much stuff for the Dio. They have 85cc big bore kits for $110! That's crazy! Imagine if you could get something like that for the Ruckus...it makes me sad just thinking about it. Also, they have aftermarket exhausts for like $90. You could probably get this thing to 60mph for only $500.

Yeah what's speed if you look ugly going it (ie Zuma). Maybe a swap is possible or maybe I could harvest the fork legs and disc. I should check and see if it's got that.

The dios are probably the most popular scooter in Japan. Especially with high school kids. I don't like them but these kids make them freakin quick! But they still look ugly, stink and sound horrible. The new four stroke Dio Zx comes standard with disc brakes and about 5.5 hp. You can get big bore kits for this to take it right up to 90 odd cc.

90cc would be amazing but if I buy a scoot it'll be for my wife and she's not gonna want something too fast and I'm not really gonna feel like working on it if it's not for me  A guy at my work is selling a 1985 Vespa Moped that goes 30mph (50km/hr) and it's in mint condition and it's only $500 but my fiance said no because she thinks it looks dumb. |

You should buy it anyhow and resell it.

I want to but I don't really have that kinda cash. I'm in debt as a university student and pretty tight. I'm trying to talk my bro into buying it though and if he doesn't my old boss wants it so someone will buy it.

Man, you're already in debt, why not go a little deeper. That's what I like to do...

I did that for a while but you can't do it forever. My line of credit is currently maxed out at $7g and I've got 3 credit cards with limits of $3g, $1500 and $900 which I owe about $3000 on. There isn't much room to go deeper in debt.

Hey, as long as you keep payin' the interest, you'll get more credit cards... I get like 3 a week.
Okay, I really only have 2 that I use, but I could have more.
