Back highways are cool.. They are cool because twist and turns, slow up and speed up, going up and down..

This is a Honda Foresight 250- the Roketa Bali 250 is a clone of the Foresight. The Honda Helix 250 and Roketa Bali 250 carry the same engine type- CN250 or 172mm engine. Here is a pic of my scooter

My scooter fell over in the last thunderstorm. It done $550 in damage to the front end. Chinese scooters are cheap( mine cost $1700 new and in the crate) in 2008. It cost to order part by part $12,000. So it really isn't a cheap scooter. The engine alone to replace is $1800. I got it fixed up and looking good, but the mpg only accepts pics of 150 kb.. My pics are 350 to 400 kb... Bought new diamond shape mirrors, new windshield, helmet mount, new dashboard, new led lights, had to paint some areas with because Roketa only had piece in white or red. No blue.. So I accented it in white and left blue to two tone it. Placed blue flame stickers on it to held mix white with blue.

Be careful with backcountry highways. They many times do not adhere to the same curve all the way through and you end up going safely through the beginning of the curve at a certain speed only to find that the turn tightens up a lot and all of a sudden you're going too fast for the road. It's a real butt puckerer to find yourself running out of asphalt with no shoulder to speak of. This is the voice of experience talking.....
