Some dude had one of them at the Chi rally.  Yellow too.  Total bro douchebag doing endos and stuff.  Can't wait till they come around our neck of the woods!  No pedals, 4 stroke, chinese crap.  We'll be able to help a lot.

They are called a Sachs Madass.  Ain't German though, and none of them are 2 stroke as far as I've seen/read/heard.  They're just those lifan honda clone engines.

No no, the endos weren't making him a douche.  It was the spikey hair, guido sunglasses, and douchey attitude.

The endos were just like....yeah, it comes stock with a disc brake...comeon dude.

I think they are cool looking.  Very minimal and I like the headlights.  Needs to get ride of the over the top flash... the graphics and stuff are kind of lame I think.

Everything I have heard about the Madass outside of MA has been really positive. Yeah they're made in China, but I hear they're good stuff, not like Poopcycles. One really respected shop owner from Cincinnati rode a 125 from LA to Chicago with no problems, and documented the whole thing. I think they look pretty cool. Don't like the $2300 price tag, however.

   I would ride on if you gave it to me, I mean its got 2 wheels, a motor and a reasonable amount of power...but I would NEVER buy one. I dont mind creative 2 wheeled vehicles. I can be a moped snob to a degree, but when I think of it, its just dumb because we all loathe having to use the function that sets our 2 weeled vehicles apart from the rest -peddles! If your using them that means your shit is broke and no one is coming to pick your ass up, and as fate would have it- you just filled up your tank. So that being said, Im still a snob at heart, but I respect all 2 wheels that run- they are all fun to me.

The dude was a douche. Out of like 4 tries this was the best burn out we could get him to do. The guy kept telling us he was a stunter but yet he kept fucking a burnout up. I should see if I still got the other videos of him messing it up and upload em. He told us he worked for one of the Chicago scooter shops, dont recall which one though.
