When I built my bike, had a quandary about getting it to DMV for inspection the first time, so that I could register it. Rode it right into the station, like a BOSS!!!!

LOL I did something similar, they made a comment and I just said it's my only vehicle so how could I be expected to get to the office without driving it lol. This was before Uber and such of course

A few common suggestions I'm seeing are to change up the carb and gearing and it becomes a solid running bike capable of sitting around 55mph to cruise.

Just do what I do. Purchase and then act confused when challenged.
"I had thought it could be something we both share? That's why it's only 250cc! I was going to buy a liter bike but then I thought of you." Also I like to quote past stupid things I did to lessen the impact of the current stupid thing I've done. "Come on honeybear, I spent $1400 on way dumber. Remember that time I bought non-returnable carpet in the wrong color?" (this is a true story) |

A) You have the skills and tools to build it B) You'll save $150 and do a better job than the shop C) It's a bike for fun and not something you are on a timeline to complete I say you should 100% get the kit and do it yourself. You'll have fun, you'll be challenged, and you'll likely find a bunch of little things you can improve upon along the way. Take pics of the process and post them up here if you do so we can follow along. It sounds like a fun project. The bike I built started like this: ![]() And ended like this: ![]() It was an awesome experience and one I hope to do again one day. |

Sadly I bought an upgraded turbo and now might be moving to Puerto Rico so this is getting sidelined for the time being *facepalm*

Sounds like its a china made bike shipped in pieces? That is a complete waste of money... If it was a Honda/Yamaha or well known brand then yeah, that would be quite the deal!
