I suppose it depends on the grade of tubing used... but I do wonder where the stresses go to under the scooter body.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I was looking for £5k bikes on t'bay for another thread and saw this, the 'want' is huge, but I don't have the room or the cash.
I knows nothing about them, but its lovely in the pics.
