![]() ![]() A bone-stock MadAss is definitely no speed demon, but I found the riding performance to be fine for navigating the cityscape. Propelled by a 119.7cc, 4-stroke, 4 speed engine the MadAss is capable of reaching 56 mph right out of the box. No fuel gage, no center stand, no storage compartments, racks or windshield, it’s “motorcycle” distilled to its purest form. Weighing in at a sprightly 220 lbs, this bike would make even the most naked motorcycle blush. The genius of the MadAss lies in its simplicity. After 70 years of evolution we get a fresh new design that has built quite a feverish following since its inception back in 2004. The MadAss design draws a good bit of inspiration from an early relative, a 1939 moped called the Presto Saxonette. You could also call it the largest, manual shifting moped. You could almost hide it in a pack of bicycles chained to a bike rack. That, my friends, is how they came up with this fantastically eyebrow raising name.Īre you sure it’s a motorcycle? Well, you could call it the smallest naked street bike you’ve seen. They also went with a different adjective, “mad” meaning furious or deranged. Sachs went with a different animal analogy, a wild donkey. It’s compact and agile, yet stout and wildly aggressive looking, sort of like a pissed-off badger. Brand new and full of contradiction for 2010 is the Sachs MadAss 125.
