your looking around 3k, min, minus the bike, some one my forum just bought a slightly modded crf50 bored out to 88cc, not the best condition, got it for 600.

If it is completely stock, it has a 3-speed semi-auto tranny and 2.5 hp.

It all depends on what you plan to do with the bike, but if you weigh more than 7 stone you will have to spend some cash to upgrade the suspension. If you plan on motard racing, rules don't allow the stock front drum brake (SEMRC), therefore you're looking at a complete front end swap. You will also have to a heavy-duty clutch, or at least a spring kit, or the tranny will eventually start slipping. As far as the motor, a basic hop-up is an 88cc kit, cam, carb, and exhaust....which will still only put you around 6 hp.

If you have an unlimited budget, Honda is certainly the way to go for both reliability and parts selection. Hope that helps...

As kern said iv just got a 50, and im loving every min of it, the guy who had it before my put a kitaco 88 bore up kit but kept the standard carb so its still quite slow tbh, but perfect for cross country riding tho, starts up every time and its had some amount of abuse and its not let me down yet apart from the throttle cable snapped but nothing major, i would sya go for it
