Default Playbikes/ 50's....

How many of you here have little playbikes/pitbikes/50's?
Post up your pics or info/suggestions for brands for after market mods.

Me and 4 buddies are going to try and get a local dealership to let us do a group buy on 4 honda Crf50's.
Reason being our company stocks literally damn near every part from BBR for 50's so we can trick them out at cost.

difference between xr50/crf50?

XR 50 is the old model. CRF 50 is the newer model. Same bike basically, just different years. CRF 50 F came out in 2004 and 2003 was the last year for the XR 50. Check out Bikez.com for specs.

By the way, it seems to me that if you and 4 buddies are trying to buy 50s, then you may want to try to buy 5 bikes or one of you is going to be watching from the curb. And good luck with the group buy thing. 50s are so easy to sell its doubtful that any dealer is going to do a combined deal for a bike that only costs around 1200 bucks in the first place.

LoL you caught me on the typo....THREE buddies and I are trying to buy 4 of them. Well i am almost positive we can get a deal atleast a chunk knocked off if not at cost because our company also has a dealership....
I was reading on the two and it said the xr50 was a 5 speed where as the crf was a 3speed.
