Pit bikes?

Anyone knowledgable about pit bikes. I am thinking of getting a used crf 50 or some kind of china knock off like a SSR90R and motarding the s**t out of it. Advice would be much appreciated if you are knowledgable on the subject.

The owner of my local Kawi dealer is always rippin' around on one of those in his shop. It's nutty. I want one!

Here is a link to parts sight. http://www.50caliberracing.com/ Or check out www.wmriders.com. There is a 50 section on that forum. There are guys around here that stunt them and are very knowledgable about the 50's

I have this chinese thingie pit bike. the guy I had bought it from for dirt cheap had put a stiff shock on it and scooter tires. If you are willing to spend a little get a japanese one they are much nicer, but the chinese made piece of crap I have is fast as hell and can take quite a beating. I would reccomend a 125cc as they are bigger than the fifties and are a bit easier to ride imo a bit quicker too. Do it....:dthumb:

I found a CRF50 I am going look at this weekend that's been stepped up quite a bit. Big Bore kit? Piped? Srtreet tires?

Big Bore kit? Piped? Srtreet tires? 88cc, FMF pipe, two sets of wheels - 12/10 dirt and 10/10 street, pro taper big bars, drz110 forks and a bunch of other goodies

88cc, FMF pipe, two sets of wheels - 12/10 dirt and 10/10 street, pro taper big bars, dlx110 forks and a bunch of other goodies That sounds like a winner to me.....:cheers:

I want one.

I will post some pics this weekend regardless if I get it or not.

My new pit bike, louisville is a long f**king way from knoxville. I am really f**king tired, plus throw in a 2 hour traffic delay, it was a long trip for one day in a cage. http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5672/mini4tg6.png

cool now we wait patiently on some vids of you tearing it up :dthumb: :dthumb:

cool now we wait patiently on some vids of you tearing it up :dthumb: :dthumb: Definitely, I already bit it on the bike. I put on my street wheels. Dude sold me two sets of wheels, 10/10 for street and 12/10 for dirt. Well I went exploring behind my apartment and found a 4x4 trail. This damn thing went on for awhile and was a decent trail and branched a ton. I lost it in a turn, should kept my dirt tires on. This thing is a ****in blast!!!

I want to see pics of you on the bike... How big is it? I have a feeling seeing my fat ass on one of those would be like 10lbs of chit in a 5lb bag.

I'm 6'1" and 170lbs, it lugs my ass around. Mine has a taller swingarm and taller forks, other 50s are much smaller. I already ordered white plastics and stickers to make it look similar to my CBARRR. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/9813/img5115zv5.jpg http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/9659/img5118vg3.jpg

Not bad... maybe I should check one of these things out...

Not bad... maybe I should check one of these things out... They are a lot of fun, I been dragging knees in the parking lot of a church behind my place with the street tires. I am going to get a video of the trails behind the church in a few days. It's pretty cool back there and has some technical parts.

What's something like that cost? depends on how modded it is, can run from $500-$5000. You can get a new china bike for around a $1000, but it is chinese so expect everything to be in need of torquing and lubing. Look locally, not worth shipping something like this. Honda CRF50F or XR50 is what you want.

sweet. I'm thinking of getting a pocket rocket.

sweet. I'm thinking of getting a pocket rocket. not worth it, to get a good one worth having you are going to pay in the thousands for a italian bird. I would get one of these and motard it. I have street tires for the gap. You would need a damn good pocket rocket to keep up with the type of bike I have. I was going to get a pb at first, but these are better bang for the buck.

My pit bike is a 1969 Heathkit minibike with a 5hp briggs and stratton lawnmower engine. I used to ride it all the time, but the other day I couldn't get it running cuz it sat for a while... :cursin: Hopefully I can get it running again soon so I can take it up to the track in two weeks. BTW the thing has a banana seat and a MONSTROUS rear tire for the size minibike that it is. I put a big harley davidson sticker on the rear fender as a joke because its loud, handles like chit, and is slow :lol:

That this is awesome! So does that have a clutch? Stay away from those little pb's. I bought one when they first come out for $500 bucks and it was the worse thing ever. The welds sucked, good luck keeping a pull starter, and the carbs stayed f'ed!

That this is awesome! So does that have a clutch? It has a clutch, but not one that you activate yourself. It is a centrifugal type, with the springs and weights inside. One time it basically exploded and shot parts all over the place and I had to ghetto-rebuild it :lol:

Yes, they come stock without one though. There is a huge mod market out for these things. The parts are amazingly cheap too. Oh I thought he was talking to me, guess not :lol:

Oh I thought he was talking to me, guess not :lol: I deleted my post thinking it might be you he was talking to, I am confused as well. :lol:

I deleted my post thinking it might be you he was talking to, I am confused as well. :lol: Oh well :idk: Anyways, your PB is sweet dude :dthumb: I bet that thing is tons of fun

:lol: I'll prolly just use the $$ that a pb would cost n swap my tail out for a split seat one.

I deleted my post thinking it might be you he was talking to, I am confused as well. :lol: Sorry for the confusion I was talking to trip. But ceo yours sounds cool too. Any pics of it?

Sorry for the confusion I was talking to trip. But ceo yours sounds cool too. Any pics of it? Not with me now... I will take some this coming weekend. The thing is hilarious... I just need to get it running again. I will probably have to ask some of the TWF gods for some assistance :lol: I don't want to have to take it to a lawnmower repair shop.

You ever seen one of those movies where the guy rides a bike through a rope and gets clotheslined? Yeah, that just happened to me. I am going to the hospital, bike is fine except for a broken brake lever. I am pretty rashed up because I thought a little bike and going playing in the dirt didn't require a jacket. My neck and arms took some nice burns from the rope. Watch out on trails kids, you never know what f**ktard might put up a rope to take you out.

But I would have loved to have seen that happen :lol:

Chit dude... hope you're alright. But I would have loved to have seen that happen :lol: I'm back from the hospital, I got some stitches in my right arm. I am well bruised across the arms and neck from the rope. I will get some pics up in a minute, will have to get some of the stitches when I clean the wounds tomorrow. If I ever find the f**ker who put that rope up, I am shooting him.

Yeah man that is super dick. I bet he often chills near there to try to see people wreck. If you catch him there, bring a baseball bat :nonod: Glad to hear you're not too f&*ked up... :luck: healing.

You'll find him you probably have some little adolescent bastards walking thorugh your neihborhood that are the likely culprits. Just catch them doing something bad and make em piss their pants then everytime you see em make fun of em for being panty pissers.

Bikes fixed got another brake lever, I am ready to go ride and find those a**holes. I am just too scared they moved their rope already.

Bikes fixed got another brake lever, I am ready to go ride and find those a**holes. I am just too scared they moved their rope already. Just cruise out there slowly as not to decapitate yourself. If you see the rope, stop and look around for places they could hide while watching the rope.

I may go tomorrow, I am too sore today. I can only stand to feel like I been hit by a truck once a day. I need to get a new helmet, went tried on the RX7's, they just don't fit my head right. The Shoei X-11s fit nice and snug though.

$600 :yikes: buy it!! :withstupi Seems a little too good to be true though... :skep:

:withstupi Seems a little too good to be true though... :skep: Not really, its a chinese bike.

Not really, its a chinese bike. ya, that's what I was thinking. And with all the medical bills still rolling in from 2 weeks ago, I need to see how those pan out. I'm hoping this guy comes down a little more

It would be worth it even being chinese...

his original ad was $800, I'm hoping he comes down again. Of course if I end up getting this, I can kiss my new rearsets goodbye....hmmmmm...decisions:idk:

those things look like a lot of fun and they can go on dirt or street but the pockets mostly can't do dirt of course i rather get something like trip did and when i get tired of it my kids can get it:dthumb: :dthumb:
