it's a pocket bike, 40cc watercooled 2 stroke engine... centrifugal clutch, single speed. built to race around small tracks, top speed about 70kmh... cheap and heaps of fun.

Not many being brought in at the moment. The GRC reps on trademe are real cheap tho.

that is pretty cheap, are these bikes any good compared to the b1? do they have any inherent flaws with them? what about parts?

i know the b1 waterpumps and little end bearings are prone to blow but at least parts for them are everywhere and dirt cheap.

This should explain it.
But you cant beat a b1 for spare parts and stuff.
