Bought a Sport Bike Today (pic)
So I finally ordered a bike today, and its a 2004! Here's a pic:
OK, OK, its not a real bike but it will do 40 mph! Its called a pocket bike or a pocket rocket and I can't wait to get it! Good deal too, only $400 shipped to my work! So anyway, I'll keep you guys posted of how badass it is when I get it. 4 of my friends got one too so we're gonna go to the local dragstrip and run them to see who's the fastest. I'm already making plans to modify the ---- out of it. Maybe a turbo if you guys can help me feasibly dream up a kit for it. Its a 49 cc 2 stroke if anyone cares. I'm gonna add a little methane when I take it to the track so hopefully that will give me the advantage, we're all chipping $50 into a pot and the fastest takes it all. Anyone ever have any experience on these? Let me know what you think.

Re:Bought a Sport Bike Today (pic)
LOL, I had a Harley, but I sold it because they are poorly constructed and watching my buddies front tire fall off and crashing into him wasn't too cool. 
My friend recently became a dealer for those things. I could have got you one for like $350. :P I think they are junk. His personal bike has broken the pull start 2 times now. They are cheap and I wouldn't waist my money on them. If it's not too late I would suggest getting your money back. I don't mean to sound like a dick and rain on your parade, but they are so damn fragile it's not even funny. The first ride I went on my friends chain snapped, fixed that, the front tire fell off, I crashed into him and that was the last ride I took before I sold it.

Re:Bought a Sport Bike Today (pic)
the construction seems kinda weak compared to the European scooters and 50cc bikes.
Here you can get a lot of upgrade parts for them.
Me and a friend worked on a Aprilla SR50 we changed the cilinder block and the head and piston with an aluminum piece and raised it to 70cc got a better muffler some different rolers. that thing was fast ....weighing only 80 kilo's it ran more then 120 km/h that's about 70 mph compared to the stock 45 mph.

Yeah, its not an italian, its chinese or some ---- but fuckit the price was right so now I have a little room to work on "upgrades". They had mini choppers too, we almost thought about buying them, but the sportbikes look like more fun.
