2 b honest i personally dont think they r very good, cos if they r so good then in freerider why did they have 2 make so many mods 2 it?
it ended up costing something stupid like 8000 dollars

HAVE YOU GOT A PIC OF IT

[Robbo66]

thumpers are very poor quality bikes. if you want a bike that will last, and comes with some mods, get the SDG super mini.

to get them from www.mxsouth.com in the US, it will cost $2500AUD, including shipping.

to get them from www.ballards.cc in OZ, it costs $2800.

Where the hell did you get $2500 from, there $3500

and i have mates with the pit bosses, they own a bike shop and ordered in heaps of em, and they thrash em, race fast 50 races and all, and they rekon there awesome bikes

[Robbo66]

yeah. i was getting my numbers mixed up. swap the 2 with a 3 in both prices.

[50 freak]

me got a desert there a bit heavy but i reccomend em;)

[bentbarz]

they started one up a this moto store and they sound like they would go pretty hard. and one of the peoples that works there bought one and they were dragging cars that were going like 60 kms and over taking them heaps easy. i've sat on one it didnt feel heavy but then again i didnt get to ride it. They had another desert there as well and they put crf50 plastics and graphics and stuff and it looks mad. But if i was u i would spend that little bit extra for a sdg because they've got everthing.

[Mx_Rider105]

50's r sweet but my mate has r thumpstar n it keep stuffen up but my otha mate has one aswell n his hasnt had nything wrong wit it and hasnt done nything to it... the sdq's look beta the the thumpstars anywayz if i had the money i would get r sdq awsome stuff

[Mx_Rider105]

i mean the sdg r kool

[troop of doom]

i recon the new black thumpstar looks tricker then the desert cos it comes with like black rims and shit

[mulishaktm]

i gotta pitboss and all i can say for anyone looking to getta 50 is.....GET ONE! they are sik!

[deev8]

yeah i gotta a pitboss too, its a 110 and they fly, u can get em for about 2500 with a clutch, which is about the same for a STOCK crf 50... my mate has a stock 50 and i have a pitboss... mine kills his and he still has a few g's to spend.. its only a craze after all i wouldnt bother spendin HEAPS unless your fully into it, the pitbosses go sweet i reckon... its up 2 u

[wayne]

ive herd that the pitboss' have a revolving gearbox so when your in 4th and you click it up another gear it pops into 1st, is this true?

[deev8]

haha dunno mate i havent been fast enough to try that yet ;-)

[mulisha_troop69]

i just got a desert 110 and its insane... yeah its got a bit of wait to it but they hall some serious arse

[redbull_fmx]

Does it feel really light int he front end

[mulisha_troop69]

its not heaps light but its ok.... the supension is heaps stiff on them

[deev8]

mines stiff but not that stiff, they gotta be pretty stiff but a little bike like that that carries up to 120kgs, you would think that it would be stiff... yeah feels light up front cos of power and short wheelbase and extra rider's weight

[Scummybummy]

how much was it and where from

[mulisha_troop69]

mine was 2800 from a suzuki dealership

[deev8]

mines a pitboss and i think its 2700 from vm motorcycles (the company that makes/imports/distrubutes them for austraila) here on the sunshine coast, but i picked mine up for 2 g's cos some dude in brisbane bought one and his girlfriend and friends went and unknowingly bought him one for his birthday at roughly the same time so i scored a new one for 700 cheaper... stoked...

[troop of doom]

yeah they do have a revolving gear box and the deserts dont

[deev8]

do u have one troop of doom? im not sure the do have revolving actually? and isnt that a bit ridiculous if they do but???? ...hammerin along in 4th and then slammin it into first?? that could do some serious damage...

[sik_50]

i have a thumpster and they are sick. i havnt had any problems with myn but i have only had it a week. i have been doin 10 foot table top's and doubles so far and it handles the jumps wikid.i havnt got the money to trick up a crf so im gunna do some mods to my thumpster cause it cheaper.i'll post some pics of it stock soon i have just got to get them developed.ot's got tag mini plays on it though :)

[deev8]

yeah, they hold up alright hey... the stock bars are crap tho i bent mine pretty quick, we had the kicker set up (only the first half of it so far cos it comes apart) and we were doin some pretty sweet jumps on it... true that im gonna trick up my pitty aswell, crfs pretty expensive... is yours 110? they hammer hey...

[redbull_fmx]

When i rode a pitboss i tired to do ajump stadning up and it went all funny in the air and i stacked and i found when i sat down it was fine anyone else have this problem

[deev8]

what, it was weird in the air compared to a honda 50 or it was weird altogether? u just gotta get used to em man, i had a stack once or twice and copped a damn nice burn on the back of my right leg from the pipe, but once i got used to it its sweet as

Yep i copped a very sweet burn 3 times from it it hurt like a little ***** but now when i ride my mates 50 i always wear mx pants

[deev8]

haha i copped such a bad burn it scabbed up huge and kept pissin out seedy shit and went all bad the skin got hammered ive still got half the scab on my leg and it was like 3 weeks ago i did it, its leavin a killer scar too...

[redbull_fmx]

Yep same with me expcept i ripped the scab off lol but yer i got a killer scar outta it.

[Unscarred711]

I havent had any probs with mine just the chain adjusters and chain roller

[freerider]

that looks sweet as dude.;)

[deev8]

yeah same i just replaced my chain adjuster and roller too... yeah it is weird when u jump standin up hey redbull, i was riding this weekend and doin some more jumps and its weird when u stand up. Its way better and smoother sittin down but u look like a retard doin jumps sittin down so...

[sik_50]

i have a thumpstar and i rekon they are wikid to jump sittin down or standing up. i was jumpin like a 10 foot table on the weekend doin nac-nac's and suicide no handers and stuff and i was landing sweet.the suspension on them rocks

[SlothIndustries]

i was under the impression thumpstars have the revolving gearbox cause its 4up where as the pitboss is 1 down 3 up
correct me if im wrong?

[deathtroop666]

man i rode thumpstar 110 today and thir f-ing fast. i flipped it its got to much power!!!!!

[sik_50]

im not sure about the manual thumpstar's????but my thumpstar is 3 speed semi auomatics so u just click the gears like the crf's and xr's

[deev8]

hey when u land hard does your swingarm hit your pipe sik50? it pisses me off... also do u have the electric start on yours still or did u take it off.. is it worth takin it off?
there have been a few reviews of the thumpstar type 50s in a few mags, i noticed one in a few issues back of freerider, and there is one in the lates 50s brotherhood on the 124cc pitboss... they all say they are the goods so...

[Unscarred711]

Mine is a 3 speed same as the crf 50 and the g-box is the same to.

[sik_50]

nah my pipe hasnt hit my tyre yet deev8.i reckon u should leave the electric start on.cause wen u take the starter motor off u have a hole goin straight into the engine.

THANX, BORGY.

true KSH style.

[skywalker]

[yamaharider]

they werent cause they were having that conversation in 04!
its kinda funny how back then people said thumpstars were giant pieces of crap and now they are one of the most popular 50s.
