Ok, I know they are kinda lame, but we bought a couple of dodgy chinese pitbikes with larger rims and frame (front and rear hydraulic disc & fairly good swingarm setup etc.)They have stood up pretty well so far, even with the total shit weve been giving them~~~ :niceone:
Anyway, Its nice to ride up the road and tear the place up (with something a little more discreet than the KDX, lol). Even though I know they look like a joke, they are alot of fun :msn-wink:

I kinda tried to get the best spec of the cheap stuff ~~~ paid around $900 i think. You do get what you pay for - but in my opinion they are still great value for money!

If it's a motorbike and you're having fun then it's all good!

Here's mine. Spends most of he time in the garage because it doesn't quite fit in the Corolla but getting a trailer made as we speak.

for $200 you can buy a rack to put on your towbar for it to sit width ways on

or maybe it's $150 something like that....

Pity it doesn't trigger the lights properly, and looks like it's an anorexic MX bike. :sick:

Oh no?

Eastridge lights... waving some cage behind you to come forwards so you can trigger the lights?

Not many people ride those things round our way, we usually got the money for full size instead of happy meal.

Years ago a mate had an MT50 road/trail and we had tons of fun on it - the 50cc motor was more than adequate to move it as it was so light and you could throw it bloody-near anywhere you want. Little bikes are cool to play around with.

hehe, yeah, nothing like the real thing, but they are pretty hard case alright. the chinese 110cc`s in our bikes seem to have more than enough torque for dicking around ;)

Awesome! How much did it cost to get it road registerable and how much was the bike itself?

Sounds like you guys are having a great time on the pit bikes!

Awesome! 600 bucks isn't a hell of a lot. Does the bike already have a battery you connected the lights too? What lights did you get?

all the lights run off the direct current of the engines charging circuit no battery on the bike....

was a bit of a learning curve to find out what capacitor was needed etc.

but seems to work alright....will add a battery one day
