The
long-in-the-tooth KE100 is a 1970s two-stroke dirtbike with
lights, fun for playing with on dirt roads and trails. It's
feather-light (187 pounds) and as simple as they come. If you
can afford the extra money, we recommend looking at a bike with
electric starting, better brakes and more performance. Seat
height: 31.7 inches.
A 100cc
dual sport bike. I can't think of a more ideal learning
tool. If you can't pass the MSF course you can still practice
in the dirt or in parking lots. Once licensed you can still
have fun with the bike offroad and on. Nay, the small bore
prevents it from achieving anything more than in town speeds
but nonetheless it has got to be a fun bike to own and learn
on. If there was an A+ rating I'd assign it here (moreso
since Honda canned their 100cc DS), heck this size and type
of bike is so much fun I would want to keep it even after
graduating to a bigger street bike.
