At $5K and only 99cc? At that price might as well get a used Street CBR.

Stick to the 110cc Super Pocket Rocket at only $600...pretty much the same bikes.

Why does nobody like these things. I used to have one, it was 49cc and looked like a crotch rocket.
It had:
headlight
brakelight
blinkers
horn
electric start
disc brakes
super grippy slick tires
gauges

The bike went about 45mph it was soooo much fun to drive around. But there were only 2 problems,
one the bike wasn't street legal (and I got pulled over by a cop once) and two the thing was made in china.

If I could find a bigger one that has a gear box and alittle bit morequality in it I would buy it. Tons of fun and everyone loved to drive it.

Actually, no bull****; I've already lost interest in them. It's not just because of the comments either. I just have a feeling that it's going to be sitting in between my attic next year right next to the RC car I bought and used twice and the RC plane I still haven't assembled.
You looking to sell the plane?

I think racing pocket bikes would be awesome.
If there was a community for it and i had time to build one.

Is no one else thinking "pit bitch" besides me?


Are some of these things actually street legal? I see turn signals and lights....is it enough to register? Maybe register as a "custom"?

If they're streetable then I MUST have one...

I think it would ultimately cause back problems if you titled one and rode it on the street very often.

I'd love to try and do stunts on one.

I had a 2004 Honda CRF50F with a ton of mods. It's a dirt bike, but I used it for parking lot stunting. I could do all kinds for stunts on that bike and I even took it off road and inthe mud alot. It was fun, but got old having to take it to a parking lot to ride it. I miss it some times since it would get my erge to stunt out of my system. I got hurt way more on that little bike then any other bike I have every owned. Small bikes are not easy to ride.
