MOPED ARMY

DUUUUDDDDEEEEEE! That bike is sick. I have been test driving them and love those bikes. However, been scared to pull the trigger. Found one that needs some work on CL for 600 bucks...wondering if it is worth it.

wow nostalgia.

That Honda Photoed is exactly the bike my neighbor taught my brother and I to ride in the factory parking lot down the street one summer day about 1971.

What a whack-ass intake.

The Honda is good for 50mph if you find one.

I just realized this picture was taken about 20 miles from my home. (edited)

Thats a good thought, I’m hoping productions increase on these little engines regardless the company. I feel technology is just getting better as long as it doesn’t die (ie cassette tapes). I personally haven’t had any issues, I broke the engine in real good and got a different carburetor on it now so it’s running slightly rich. Mostly because I still have stock exhaust, smh I kno. Shame on me lol

Edit** I also really wanted the frame mint instead of having to search for classics with frame damage or possible Honda cancer (rust). Engines will always be available for donors it’s just like fast and the furious “vin diesel and his v8 swapped rx-7 instead of the rotary engine” sooner or later it’ll turn into a 75cc or bigger (edited)

Andy! You should join the DC Mopeds facebook group and come ride with us some time. You can hang out in the back with all the stock tomos ;)

That sounds totally awesome I’ll join what is it called? Dc moped page? My first moped was a 2 stroke Tomos streetmate back in 2007, but it got stolen in 2010. I went to live in Vietnam for a year in 2015 and owned two 125cc but I didn’t do any modifications (didn’t want the commies to hold me as ransom lol)

Not many manufacturers make bikes with pedals anymore. I’m aware of the whole scooter,moped, motorcycle stigma. As long as your not a cop lol jk jk

Edit** cops are ok just don’t be a snitch truth be told \_(••)_/ (edited)

^ I used to think that way, until I quit breaking the law, now I rarely ever see them and when I do they are respectful, I give them more lee-way in the attitude department than most people, due to the nature of their job, it is one I sure would not want.

Just a small 4 smoke so.... Less restrictive pipe, higher flow through the intake. Same stuff. Better put an expansion chamber on there ;)

Hi guys “update on my Amstar Nostalgia 49cc” I swapped my cdi box with a “goofit 5 pin cdi box” I got off amazon. I went from stock 30mph to 50mph max (average 43mph). I also swapped my oil to Mobil 1 0w-40 European full synthetic for easier cold starts (weather really varies where I’m from) and it has great heat resistance. I haven’t changed the exhaust, intake, or carb yet. My next step is changing the front sprocket to one with more teeth that way I get more speed at lower rpms. I also changed my handle bars to some “clubman style” bars.

I can tell you it is very easy. Pm me when you finally purchase the bike I’ll give you instructions

I want one of these more than a Honda monkey....
