Derringer motorbikes….

Saw this in the nov/dec issue of Motorcycle Classics. If I had $3500 to spend on a 2.1 HP 2 wheeler, this would be it. Talk about fun around town! :)

I'd be scared to death to ride that around town.  2.5 HP is not enough to get out of trouble. I like the fact that with a twist of the throttle, I can get out of a tight squeeze.  With this thing, you need to plan ahead.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't get this concept.  I understand it's an "old school" thing, and it's really retro, but I guess it's just not for me.

I love these old school motor bikes.
I like the ones Tools posted more though, they really have that old classic feel to them.
I'd love to have one to put around the city. It'd just be fun.
