After doing some consulting work for a Scooter Rental shop in Daytona Florida I purchased a 2001 rental return MZ Scooter. I am a roadracer with the CRA and CCS and wanted it for a pit bike while at the tracks. It had some minor crash damage, but I had planned on painting it anyway. In Daytona you can ride on the beach, and the fat tires on this machine really made a difference in the sand...it handled great, you could even slide the back end a bit in corners. Tons of fun! I had never owned a 50cc scooter before and I was surprised by the power that little scoot could put out. I love everything about the bike, but I wish they had put a rear disc brake on it...the cable actuated rear drum lacks some power, but the front disc helps compensate. This machine gets ridden hard all race season long...two up, pulling a tire cart in stop and go traffic is all it has to look forward to.
