I think they are pretty cool. How much did you pay for it and how reliable is it? They all seem to be pretty no name brand and cost around $400. heres a pic

haha, thats retarted....get a real bike, they are more fun man

duey · 04-12-2004, 06:19 PM

those things RULE!

granted a real bike will screw....but imagine going ~30mph only a few inches to the ground.

My friends race those things in empty parking lot malls all the time, and they take a beating (one of my friends has that EXACT one pictured and he also has a Polini or something like that). I'm not sure about how big you are but my friend is pretty big and still rides them things (he's 6' 200lbs), he always manages to drop his knee's on the hard corners and can smoke the little guys on it.

crioten, i think you are missing the point man. I know a real bike can go faster and can ride in the streets, but the fun factor of these things are way higher, as far as cost goes. The whole point is to be riding a bike that you can fit in your trunk and not have to worry about license, insurance, etc...Another cool bike would be like a xr50 all tricked out or a real 50cc sportbike from japan, but those are way more expensive.

they have a sale on ebay for 20 of them for 6000. i would pitch 300 in to get one.

Ghettokracker71 · 04-12-2004, 10:21 PM

Yeah those are really cool a lot of guys that work on cars and stuff here are into the 50CC Dirtbikes and they have a track and all that good stuff...you can buy a brand new 50CC for like $1,500 and these guys have like 5K into them with bigger suspension, bore kits, swingarms...its kind of intense. They all have real dirtbikes too. It's just funny seing people spend a ton on kids motorcycles. I want one of those pocket bikes, theya re pretty cool.

*crioten* · 04-13-2004, 08:09 AM

"its not a car, its the next best thing!!!"

hahah
