I love that NSR50! :rockon:

*mutters* bloody thing has wider tyres than my 150 :angry2:

[curious george]

hey ant, sounds like you have 'wide tyre envy'.
Feeling your tyres are inadequate? Everyone elses are bigger?
Dont worry mate if you have skinny tyres, I'm sure the are just suited to your bike, and wouldn't like them artifically wide anyway:banana: :banana:

[Holemachine]

This would be very cool for 'racing' to and from work on. Throw in some hard tyres to make it interesting and your off!

They both look awesome. They seem a bit underpowered, considering a Blata 40cc minimoto can produce 14hp
