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

if $ weren't tight I'd be all over this...
Along with a '11 WR250R

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

DB1k on 50cc, someone's gotta be first

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

....zeRax?

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?!

That rocks

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

Still it would be a hoot!

Damn. Just bought a scooter (did I say that

) for commuting to work's new office. This would have been much cooler. Already been getting stick from colleges for riding a scooter

DB1k - Zerax the gauntlet has been thrown!

Cheers R

Damn you guys.....

**Chris_chch** · 27th April 2011, 12:49

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** · 27th April 2011, 13:15

sigh,

you guys owe me for being a spectacle !

**Willdat?** · 27th April 2011, 14:21

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

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

**marks** · 27th April 2011, 14:45

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** · 27th April 2011, 16:57

she'll be right :P probably make up an alloy thingo for it

dont have time to ride it back from up north, going on biketranz.

the registered as moped thing is my one and only pitch to the missus, im'a get a spanked bottom for sure :P

im going to have to be well prepared for this one, unlike the others :X

"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!
