Anybody Into Pocket Bikes?

[Doughboy]

On the 23rd My lady and I are getting our 49cc pocketbikes. Im a newb to the scene but this is a killer hobby and nice thing to take up on the weekends. Is anyone else doing this yet, or considering it?

Were picking em up for $500 each And I hear It tops out at about 40mph stock.

link to a bike similar to what Im getting.

i was considering getting one for shits and giggles.. but theres really nowhere around here to ride it. streets are too busy and id just end up getting myself killed. Looks like alot of fun though

a new shops is selling those near the performance shop i go to. they ride around on the bikes all day and then try to sell them, saying they're brand new. and they want mad loot and they're not even the good ones.

the funny part is, you can get mini choppers now, thats tight.

We were going to get a few of those to toss in our trucks a few years back. They would have made for great little pit bikes at Carlisle!

There is an organized track by my house and the model Im getting is more of the cruiser model of the bikes. 49cc but a Midi bike model, not the mini model. Its half the size of a motorcycle and a quarter size bigger than the mini's. Carberator's, intake, exhaust, and head i think... are the mods Ive heard available for them..with those I hear of people getting them to 70mph + depending on the weight. My main objective was to save $ on gas due to Cali inflation. Now im just in love with these things. If you can find a big parking lot or school yard off school hours I'd go for one. Its alot of money to buy one but the mods are cheap. intake $45, carb$100, exhaust $150. go to www.tinytorque.com Kind of like a CL for these things.
