I thought it was great, but the price is unrealistic. A maximum of 5 thousand would be fair.

True, here in Minas Gerais, with $14.990,00 you can get a driver's license A, buy a motorcycle and still save some money for gas!

Unfortunately, this type of vehicle does not have specific regulations regarding its use on the roads and in the event of an accident there is no punishment for drivers. I understand that any motorized vehicle is a weapon in traffic.

It's very expensive, with that price you can buy much cheaper and more reliable motorcycles here, not to mention replacement parts.
I don't have the courage to risk it, it's too early.
