	There's a Chinese replica of the Zoomer coming out very soon, good build quality as well as its built in the same factory as the China built Piaggios gonna cost way less than a grand so i'd put your scooter modding on hold. The Baotian in your first picture is a terrible bike, I’ve stripped a few Baotians down and believe me there nothing like a Zoomer underneath. Heres a few pics of the various copy’s that are around some look identical others look similar

	Zoomer = 50cc Fuel injected fun. Looked at them a few years ago in Belgium before they had become popular and the finish was great, being a Honda, the Zoomer/Ruckus will last too. Look at Google to see what the Japanes do with them. I would be happy with one of them as well,or a replica.

	They are pretty cool, love that white one, altho not sure on the colour lol. trg1984 I think they move the mounts for the motor/swing arm/suspension futher back on the frame to stretch them out.

	I should probably point out that there are 3 "white ones" in Grizz's post. Sept 14, 2008 16:50:19 GMT grizz said: As an afterthought... from 2003... Which model is this Grizz?
