So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
 
I'm sure none of them are made by Jesse James at around $300, but if I were looking at getting one of these things to ---- around with, which one would I get?
I saw the thread before about all these ------- things, but I just want to know if there is one that actually won't fall apart under me or jr. mode.

A friend of mine's buddy had one he bought for his kid, and was riding around on it.. I rode on it too, cool little thing.. It was a Kawasaki, I do believe. It held up real good, cost him $400 new I think.

Re:So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
 
If you're serious, my buddy has a garage full of them. I can get you a deal and possibly bring it up to you this weekend.

If you want my opinion, don't buy one. They are such piles of ----. The starters go out like every 5 pulls and the chains are like Fisher Price or something. ------- junk if you ask me. Even the guy that sells them will tell you this. :-\

but yeah, if you want one I can hook you up. :)

Well, I heard the horror stories from the thread before and I've seen some cheap ass looking ones, but isn't there at least one of them that seems to have been built right?

I found this one. It's got 25 hp, but I think it's in the area of $5k. Funk dat.
I found some parts on ebay. Frames and such, but I think it would cost more if I built one. Yes, it would be a nice one, but I'm really not trying to go that far. I just want something to ride in the store and then cruise out for a good laugh. ;D

Mode,

A buddy of mine here in AZ has a "Tote Gote" mini bike. It's up a cabin three hours north of Phoenix. It is totally old school, prolly made in the 1960s. We go up there every few months to get away from Phx, and drag this thing out of the shed when we get bored. We ride the kids around the yard and local area and have a blast. It aint cool lookin at all, but fun to ride. (Kinda like a fat chick). Found one for you for $250 at eGay....

Re:So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
 
Yeah, for the money that's probably the best built one. I just would hate to see what shipping is like from Co. You know, with a bike of that nature, if I could find an old frame I could put my own motor in it. ;) I'll keep my eye out. Thanks.

vertical crankshaft brigs style motors are way to expensive.. it would be cheeper to put a d motor on your minibike:-p

Re:So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
 
Justin, I'm not a motorcycle rider. I'm a kid who wants a fun toy to ---- with. I've never felt comfortable on most motorcycles due to my mental state of mind. I rode my friends Ninja zx6 for a couple months and I kept telling myself that if I wasn't close to dying, I wasn't having as much fun as I really could. = no motorcycles for Papa Stealth, just toys.

Dr.Boost 07-13-2004 08:53 PM

Re:So say I wanted to get a mini bike........
 
But, that is a toy. :) I'm trying to stay away from street bikes myself. I know exactly what would happen and I'm not quite ready for that yet. Dirtbikes are my life. It's just the beginning of Summer and I'm dreaming of Halloween for the first ride of the season. :-\

If I were you, I would stay away from those mini-bikes. I could have the guy that sells them tell you the same thing. I had a mini-harley a while back. I rode it once, broke the fucker and sold it. My buddy bought one the same day as me and his front tire came off while we were cruising and I smashed into him. This was after his chain snapped. ::) ------- junk. I took a $50 loss on that hoopty. >:(

hell yeah. dam.

my wife and I wanna build a 'pole barn home'. build a huge pole barn, and make 1/2 of it a garage, the other half, just like a house on the inside.

it would be bad ass I think.

He is not from Minnesota, stealth is socal, I'm from Minnesota, and actually with this global warming stuff, our winters aren't to bad anymore.

Stealth, look for a Honda Trail 50 from the 70s, we've got one and it's awesome, plus it's a Honda.
