Trip, if that's you in the black leathers, you're the only one pushing hard.

Everyone else looks like they're out on a Sunday drive. You're riding it like you stole it.

THAT'S racing.

Kudos, old man.

Thanks, if that's who you were refering too.

Yep, I saw you baking it pretty hard somewhere about halfway in the vid too.

You can wreck the snot out of them and pick it up and do it again with only minimal cosmetic scratches. Getting hurt is not real common in a wreck. You can run 120% every lap. They are so much cheaper than track days and big bikes. Speeds are fast for these little bikes. My only negative is I don't get to do it enough.

Are you running mini-motard tires or just let the knobs get worn down enough to "lean" it?

And what kinda $$$ and mods do you have put into one to get to handle like such?

I assume tires, tall bars/seat/shock?

You can get one built on planetminis.com for about $1000, or you can get a new chinese for around the same price, but I like running a honda because that's the series that's the most fun here.

If you go from stock, you need an engine kit (88cc is what I have), bars, seat, shock, harder fork legs/springs/delrin bushings to get a good base. I also got an inner rotor, disc brakes, manual clutch.

I wish, but don't have the time. They are building a track near us though specifically for us.

Where would that be? They're building an actual "mini" track like a kart track? Or just taking some part of a parking lot and adding a little something on...

a mini motard/kart specific track, location is secret due to potential neighbor issues til it's finished and built. I have raced on the layout already in bulldozed dirt with my knobbies. It's going to be awesome. It's being done in stages though, so it could be awhile before it's finished.

I want one for me and my son. That would be a total blast. I would love to get into that, problem is there prolly isn't any around my area.

What you think Chris should we start this in our area if not already done?
