Pit Bike

Hi PHers, what is your personal opinion on one of these for ragging around the field on?

Wow, at that price it's v. cheap! Worth having a punt, if it's crap you havn't wasted too much. How come they're so cheap - that would be my concern...

Yeh thats what i was thinking, and with ebay, feedback is left after delivery and not related to the quality of the product so much. I did email and ask whether spares were avialable and they said yes, so i suppose thats a plus. Might as well get one i think, might be pleasantly surprised. Need to get rid of a Golf GTi im doing up before i can get one though, which is bleddy annoying !

It looks legit, but do you know when something is just that little bit "too cheap" my spidey sense is tingling.

This is mine..





Excellent little bike, puts up with amazing amounts of punishment, bags of power and loud as

A bike this size with this much power, results in a serious case of the giggles

[mckln335]

What engines in that Grant, and where did ya get it from?

[mckln335]

Oh, a 125 i see, sorry mate should look closer

[Grant.D]

Its an X-Sport Cr3, more expensive but its the real deal, I got mine from a local place but I hear that this guy is pretty good.

You may pick them up from EBay cheaper.

Fair dos mate, that looks like a nice bit of kit, top speed?

People reckon its about 50Mph ish with the 10" Wheels and about 55Mph with the 12" Wheels

Its the acceleration which is the amazing part of it.

[mckln335]

Is it 4 stroke or 2?

[Carl-H]

4 stroke

[mckln335]

2 stroke would be a bit more nippy though i would imagine, but theyve stopped making them now havnt they?

[Carl-H]

I dont know of any 2-stroke pit bikes. They still make 2-strokes but a 2-stroke pit bike would be quite unreliable like the mini-moto's

[mckln335]

Thats a fair point, my brother had a minimoto. The engine literally just cracked and is now FUBAR
