    This was filmed in the early to middle 90′s.. so he probably hasn’t ridden one since

    This is old, it’s like in the late of 80s and early 90s.

    Technically, in Madison, WI, mopeds are under 120cc. At least thats what their police dept says.

  13. 13isthiswhereitype1

    u can get 50cc motorcycles too. the difference is, is that they are geared.

    WHAT?!? I thought in the New series of Top Gear, on the Viet Special, Jeremy doesn’t know how to drive a motor bike… yet here, he’s very comfortable with it? :S

    Moh1Z, they’re technically a semi-manual gearbox, you change through four gears, buy use no clutch. Nowadays, they also have Suzuki bikes (sorry, forgot the model name) that uses the clutch and is considered really fast…which isn’t even really highway speeds for us guys stateside.

    Here’s the thing, almost everything in TopGear is staged. Fake fake fakity fake fake

    @MSI2k There were some photos of him training before going on the special too…worth taking it all with a pinch of salt, but enjoying it never-the-less.
