Apparently the HP is a bit less than the 150cc Sym Wolf due to the
engine design (no overhead cam; uses pushrods). Anyways, looks like a
fun ride - several vids on youtube including some interesting interviews
with the company founder and CH factory tour.

I just don't like shifting in a M/C, especially in a large city
environment. it isn't like a car shift where U can select gears without
staring from 1st all the time.......I'm not sure about the vespa type hand
shift though!

Funny - I had the same reply when someone suggested I just buy a M/C for
urban riding. I think many riders really like the whole revving through
the gears experience. All that shifting is fine if you're just out joy
riding, but much of my riding falls into the errand-running category;
running through the gears every two blocks with a string bag full of
groceries on the hook gets old fast.
