is there really all that much difference in the sizes as my mate says the 50 is tiny!

why is this such hard work to find one lolll

im 6 foot ish mate and have 50 size at the moment with 12/10 set up, and i know loads who ride them, there is a difference though and it just depends is you can cope with the size

i keep seeing some 50 size frames that look a decent size and others that look small (confused)

i am 6ft so i guess i would need to see one to be sure before buying

It's not hard mate. Just don't be afraid to travel for the right bike. There'll 100s for sale on eBay end of January. Unwanted pressies

some 50 size have 10/10 wheels some 10/12 and others 12/14 so it makes a bit of a difference to how they look, im sure theres some lads local to you on here that wouldnt mind meeting to see the size of the bikes or just go to a local dealer

lol i never thought of that, thats a right buying tactic! i like it!

im not afraid to travel i just wouldnt want to get far getting a max of 40mpg then realise i cant fit a bike in the back of my car

although last week i did fit my tengtools roll cab, middle and top box in my 207 :P





so i think a pit bike may fit

[skippy #247]

it will fit mate, ive seen bikes in the back of polos (old ones) puntos all sorts

been out on my mates bike today, first time ever on a motorbike and i was up hills and round ruts within half an hour, guess been able to drive a car and ride a push bike put me in good stead LOL. and i am still alive!

still on the look out for a 2nd hand one, defo 125cc will be enough after going out where we will be riding as no straights and hardly have chance to max 2nd or get into 3rd, all gd fun though surprised how much pull these little bikes have in them
