Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
I think I've made this post before, but I'm not fucken around this time. I'm looking to buy a 50ish cc motorcycle for fucken around with the kid. There's plenty of open space around here and I wanna get a little bike to go exploring with the kid on. Here's what Craigslist has to offer right now:


125cc Demon bbr pit bike bike 12 hp!!! almost new !!! - $950
http://b.im.craigslist.org/h8/Wa/bpo...3qhlFl6Lkq.jpg


1997 ds 80 suzuki dirt bike - $700


1996 Honda XR100 dirtbike - $850


YAMAHA PW50 - $700

The last 3 I don't have pictures of yet, but my main problem is I don't know ---- about these motorcycles, which ones are better than others for the prices listed. I searched for PW50 and found that it's a shaft drive? which claims it's more reliable, but it doesn't sound very traditional. Ok, enough rambling. Which one should I get?

I think the demon 125cc would be a good exploring trail bike. I think honda sold the desighn/plans for the z50 and ct70 trail bikes engines and other companies put the 125cc cylinder and head kit on it. That type motor is very reliable and has good torque even with 50-70cc for . I have seen these bikes every were still running since the 70s.

If your looking for perfomance i would go with a suzuki 80 if its 2-stroke,

I dont like the xr100s but they are bigger bikes.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
I rode a freinds (I think it was a blue and white 80?) with my son and he fit snug in front of me. The problem with researching this ---- is that they all have little codes and ---- after the name. It's not like Honda 50cc is really going to nail it down, so I'm having a hard time trying to get an idea of what all my options are.

So your planning on riding with the kid or are you looking for a little bike for him to ride?

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
pw50 is really really small, xr100 is a real nice bike my buddy used to have one, how old is the kid?

nitrogen 03-11-2006 07:53 PM

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
that little 125cc bike is cool, but might be to much for your boy if he's just learning..
the xr100 is probably to tall for him, but thats a good price if the thing is in decent shape.
some dude brought his little girl into the shop today and got her a kdx 100, she was so excited
she couldn't stand it.. I'd get the 125cc pit bike for yourself, just to ---- around on, and maybe
the jr50 for the boy .. then once he's experienced enough, he'll have a badass little pit bike to ride.

MikeJ-2009 03-11-2006 11:42 PM

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
He's 3, and the plan is to put him in front of me between my legs and do some exploring. I rode with him on an 80 before and it was a pretty good ride comfort wise. After a couple exploring adventures, I will more than likely start venturing out on my own.
I'm not a motorcycle person. I'm one of those people who gets comfortable with things for about 15 minutes and then it's time to push it to the limits, so anything that could kill me (normal sized bike) isn't really a good idea.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
XR100 would be good for putting around and exploring and not fast enough to get you in trouble.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
geta xr or yamaha ttr, very realiable and very easy to get parts for if you happen to need them, even though the demon bike looks sick though, have you got him a bike yet stealth? if so what kind?

MikeJ-2009 03-12-2006 11:18 AM

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
Neither of us have a bike. I'm just looking for something fun to ---- with on some paths and ----. Last night I kinda got discouraged while looking at motorcycles and started looking at a yerf dog on ebay that's local. That would be fun too, but I'm not sure I have the room to store that thing when it's not in use.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
Okay Heres the deal. Your son is three. You are an adult. You need to decide on who the bike is for. He will be confortable on a PW (small 50cc). A DS80 or a XR100 will be too big for a 3yr old, but you can probably ride one to follow him. Thats perfect for a 12 year old. The Pit bikes fit an adult or a young teen. if I were to get one for say a three year old I would get a Honda Z50. If I wanted to ride around around with him I would get a pit bike. Have fun.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
go with the Demon 125...its actually a Honda CR50 clone( but not chinese crap) with a big bore kit on it.

if you get it and its too much for the Lil Stealthmode, you can track down a stock 50 cylinder kit for next to nothing from a local sportbike freestyle guy...hell, I think I have 2 in my garage you could have..

Anything dressed up in BBR is going to be better than what else you have listed, as BBR is a performance upgrade Co with alot of good R&D and namesake behind it...

My 50 has alot of BBR mods on it...damn good stuff.

stay away from the Suzuki and the Yammaha...those bikes arent worth their weight in APC parts.

Dude, if you want someything to explore on get a burrito. The maintenance on those fuckers is great. just feed em left overs. as for hores power, well its a burro you retard.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
On another note, this may be the time to start building that 600cc 2 seater go cart that I wanted to build. My main problem is I already don't have any room to store anything bigger than a small bike.

I would just get a XR100, plenty reliable and good to ride the trails on.

+2

the xr you could throw off a cliff and it would still run, those things are pretty much indestructible at that size. Even though it'll be too big for your kid, you'll have a blast on it.

Re: Motorcycle riding muthaz. I need help.
 
The pit bike is cool, but not big enough for me and the kid to ride, so tomarrow I'm picking up a yamaha pw80 from a guy locally.

No...auto 3 speed....although they do make cluth kits for them, its pointless on an 80

dont ---- around with cheap ass knockoff bikes from ebay.. Get an xr/crf50.. Youll never find parts for those knockoffs.

I picked it up yesterday and the guy threw in his kids old helmet and chest protector. Although it's too big for baby bin laden he sports the ---- around the house like he's harder than nails. I did a once over on the bike today and it's running good. Now we just need the snow/cold to go away so I can go try to kill myself.

you can get a suspension upgrade off ebay for cheap. It will really make it looke like a dirt bike.
