@Motodrachen Is that an antique motorcycle? It looks like nothing we've ever seen before.

@Motodrachen mopeds tend to have little tiny wheels, don't they? i'm trying to think what exactly a moped is

@Motodrachen what's the difference between a moped and a motorcycle and a motor scooter anyway?

@Felthry Mopeds are usually made before 1985, and they're an Underbones style, have Pedals from the factory, and are under 50cc, and obey some other state laws.
Scooters are upright, with a floor/deck, smaller, fatter wheels and most now are 4 stroke powered. Still usually under 50cc.

Motorcycles are manual transmission bikes, over 50cc, and require insurance, title, and special licensing.

@Motodrachen So why don't they make them over here anymore, or in japan?
