I had an SMX 50, the supermotard version of this (Buddha81 had it after me!).

They go damn well for what they are, cheap rego too :woohoo: if $ weren't tight I'd be all over this...
Along with a '11 WR250R :whistle:

[topo]

If i had the cash i'd snap that one up!!! your sm version was soo much fun and that one could only be better:yes:

DB1k on 50cc, someone's gotta be first:facepalm:

DB1k on 50cc, someone's gotta be first:facepalm:

Best idea I've read so far today topo, that sounds like a great challenge.

....zeRax?

[Willdat?]

Would be the only 49cc bike anywhere near (ok maybe the Gasgas one too) capable of doing the DB1K in terms of reliability and speed...I have a feeling zeRax's old man has some experience with these motors too? Then use it to claim his <50cc 1/4 mile record?!

[GPS MAN]

That rocks:scooter:

But, I don't think it would pull my FAT BUTT:facepalm:

Still it would be a hoot!

[cooneyr]

Damn. Just bought a scooter (did I say that :shutup:) for commuting to work's new office. This would have been much cooler. Already been getting stick from colleges for riding a scooter :facepalm:

DB1k - Zerax the gauntlet has been thrown!

Cheers R

[zeRax]

[zeRax]

Damn you guys.....

[Chris_chch]

I've got the SMX version and love it to bits. Best way to get around CHCH at the moment. If this was in CHCH, I'd probably get it for the missus!

[zeRax]

sigh,

you guys owe me for being a spectacle !

[Willdat?]

I take it you'll be riding it straight back from Auckland?! :woohoo:

I reckon you'll be stoked with it, it would in all seriousness be a part of my dream garage. :yes:

[marks]

if ever an expansion chamber screamed 'oooh a little rock - smash me. smash me now, harder harder...' its that drooping piece of licorice on the otherwise sweet looking bike

[zeRax]

"In a time of soaring fuel prices...a 50 cc bike that never needs a WOF and can be registered for just a few $ a week is an essential part of my garage."
I was getting 35-40km/L of WOT everywhere, a 1/4 or 1/8 turn throttle will be a winner...sooo jealous!

I'll ride in support on your WR250R...I might just about be able to keep up... :P

[zeRax]

Your a bloody legend! Your going to have to work hard on the 50! You didnt have much time left when you were on the KDX 125. No falling to sleep and running into ditches. I might be up for another go at a 1 dayer so you might have a riding buddy if you want it.

Cheers R

You're a bloody legend Ryan - doing the one dayer on a scooter!:woohoo: - or will you be offering support from the capable back of the 450??

:mellow: she's definately going to be longer in the saddle and less stopped time

sounds good pal, yea no falling asleep again, got pretty lucky there :X

maybe make a muesli bar holder or something for on the go rocket fuel :P

[NordieBoy]

They may be changing the rules soon.
Meaning anything with an engine must be reg'd and wof'd.

Funny bugger aye. Na definitely 450 teritory. Probably gate opener extraordinaire - to help keep Zerax's speeds up. Better wear body armour Z to deflect the roost each time you get past.

Hopefully young'n sleeping through the night and hence me too by then.

We're sleeping through now...take home message is...if they cry and you know they're fed/warm/well etc. and you ignore them, then you're not a bad person.
