To
date, there has only been one published road test / product
review. Scoot Magazine was lucky enough to obtain
one of these bikes and did a review of it for their December 2009
issue. The review was written by Josh Rogers. Josh put a few
hundred miles in on the Classic model that he reported on. The most
significant problem he encountered was a lot of vibration from the
bike. This problem
was discovered to be in the gearing for the bike and not the hard
mounted engine like Josh suspected. The California Scooter Company has
already corrected this problem by re-gearing the bike. You can read
all the specifics and see the dyno testing of the bike after the
gearing changes, at www.CaliforniaScooterCo.com/blog/
Josh goes on to state in the
article: " The styling of this
bike is refreshing in it's vintage faithfulness. The engine is peppy
with a lot of torque. It really gets up and goes. For those who love
the look and feel of a vintage Mustang, the Classic offers a modern
version that one could ride day in and day out without the worries and
extra care of the original. It's a beautiful machine that really ran
well. As of right now the bike comes in three basic color schemes
Classic, Baby Doll (pink), Greaser (flat black with red accents).
Accessories will be available including ape hangers, a rear rack, and
crash bars. The California Scooter Company plans to begin sales in
February 2010." (Scoot Magazine, Dec. 2009)
" I
would like to think that I am building what Mustang would be building
today if they were still in operation, " Steve Seidner tells us in a
phone interview. " This is what I feel the Mustangs would be
today, if they were built with modern technology and knowledge."
We think so too. If
you want more information or want to purchase one of these beauties
for your very own, check out their website at www.californiascooterco.com
or give Steve and his staff a call at 1- 800- 884- 4173. Now I know
how Steve's dad felt about that Mustang back in 1949.
I want one!!
