Was at Hy-Pro Scooters last week and came across one of these.
The Wildfire WF195-SB
Not sure at what point something stops being a scooter and starts being a motorcycle. But, it's pretty cool.
Right around 2 grand. 195cc. CVT.
Anybody know if this is a Wildfire exclusive? Or does somebody else make 'em?
Not QUITE the same, but does have a CVT from a scooter...

"It is very easy to ride a motorcycle correctly. It gets much more difficult when you don't."
"Try, assess, adjust, repeat. That's how kids learn through playing. Adults can learn that way, too, once we get over the the idea that doing something incorrectly makes us look stupid. Failure isn't an option in learning... it's a requirement." - me, recently.

No step-thru, no shielding bodywork, std. sized wheels. Motorbike.
Building a small motorbike around a motor scooter drivetrain is an old idea (ref: Cushman Eagle). Honda had a very clever and well thought out little bike of this pattern on the show circuit several years ago...which they never turned into a production model.
This bike marketed under the Wildfire private label seems to be a Chinese-made mimic of the old Gilera DNA. The CPI GTR is a similar design.
Scoot safe,

Doolittle: Polly, I want you to teach me all the animal languages you know. We'll start tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.
Polly: But Doctor, it took me two hundred years to learn those languages!
Doolittle: All right. We'll start at seven.
I feel... weird.
That Aprilia made me touch myself inappropriately.
