My friend has one and it's a fun little bike. It's only a 50 so don't expect blinding speed, but it does go up to about 80 mph. It also handles pretty well since it's only about around 160 lbs. h

It's definitely quick enough if you want to commute a bit on it. My friend used to commute on his everyday. He also rides on the freeway with no problems (in acceleration). Compared to a normal sportbike, it's about 200 lbs lighter and it's a much smaller bike. The seat height is pretty similar to any other sport bike.
