Reproduction Of The Classic Mustang Motorcycle

by Michael Satterfield -02/03/2010

The original Mustang motorcycle was introduced in 1947 by a small company in Glendale, California; it was more of a Scooter than a Motorcycle with its 122cc two-stroke Villiers engine. Despite their size and limited performance, over 20,000 were sold. The California Scooter Company has just released its new version of the Mustang. A modern 149cc four-stroke engine is not only cleaner but should help people keep up with modern traffic. The bike retains the original dinner plate-size wheels and scooter-sized frame but now has an electric starter and disc brakes. Three production models will be offered, the Classic, the Babydoll, and the Greaser scheduled for availability in March 2010 for a starting price of $4,995 for all three models.

Fun detail that the reproduction Mustang motorcycle keeps the tiny original style wheels and compact frame, but adds modern touches like disc brakes and an electric starter. The three trims, Classic, Babydoll, and Greaser, all starting at $4,995, made the comparison easy.

I love that blend of vintage looks and practical upgrades, it feels usable, not just nostalgic. Which model do you think suits daily neighborhood rides best?
