I know, as a fact, from a recent conversation at a barbecue, that if a mini bike can fit in airport legal bag AND is a regular size bike replacement, at least 10 of my friends would get at least one (some would get more than one to have the significant other covered). The budget was <US$500.00 with room for upgrades.
This conversation was actually as a potential business plan.
