any one got info on pocket bikes

[lillyisfat]

thinking of gettin one
all information is welcome

pocket bikes aren't that good. A couple of my mates have them.
The watercooled and the new pocketbikes with Nos would be alot better if your willing to fork out $1000 or more.
But thats just my opinion, they are good little bikes but just watch out for the cheap crap on E-Bay.

[ad_man53]

there illegal in vic and will be illegal in all states soon, save ya money and get a 50 for the dirt

[PARFMAN]

mini choppers are better than the small road bike ones but 50s are better than them all.... except maybe a v8 chopper..........

[PARFMAN]

just a little better than a whipper snipper motor

[The General]

haha that chopper looks mad!

[pretty_15]

yeh i got a pocket rocket they r alright to start of with n then ya will get sick of em they always fall apart. i got pulled up by the cops yesterday on it they just gave me a warning its a $700 fine if ya get caught on em.

[twisties]

dont bother with them. there is already a thread in general fmx chat and yeah as adam already said, they are going to be banned in all states soon, which dosnt really bother me. they are pieces of crap from what i have seen. save up n buy a 50, even a peewee50 would beat one of those pocket bikes.

stuff pocket rockets get a 50..there so much fun..buit if u just wanna cruize the streets go the mini choppers

[lillyisfat]

thanks for all the info
this might sound stupid but do you reckon you could turbo charge
a pocket bike or what would be the best other modification
cheers

[Fischer]

yea they sell them for $5500 i saw them on pocketracer.com.au once. they have car turbos on them and the bike had been jacked up. You can do it yourself but i think the company got in trouble for selling them like that

[Fischer]

here is the pic of one in the making

[Shifty]

A guy in Victoria is selling his for $900.

If anyone wants his email, PM me.

i made a thread up a while ago on my pocket bike when i was looking for parts (i think its in the grease pit forum thingo) well this is my lil pocket bike, there good to just muck around on if u have places like large factory car parks to ride them, theres about 5 other houses in my street that own pocket bikes too, mines one of the big ones where as there are sum really tiny ones out there, mine only goes like 70k's the most i guess, there ok lil beasts but when something breaks it can be a real hassle gettin parts for them, i was looking for a new exhaust and i couldnt find one so i just got dad to fix up the old one, in my opinion, coming from a PB owner, just get a thumpster or pw of sum sort, the parts are easier to find, there arnt so many copies n makes, they go alot harder n faster than PB's, i rekon the only real cool bits on a PB is (mines an R1 replica) their a mini version of a roadie n have the lights/tail lights n stuff loaded on there, other than that get a mini dirt bike, least they dont sound like lawnmowers on freaky steriods! lol, well thats my 2cents, hope it helps ya dude

just get a decked out 50 and chuck some road tires on it (if you can?) and if they tell you not to ride it on the road just use it in the dirt:D

i reckon the novelty of a pocket bike would wear off.....

that's not that bad of an idea..just ger a motard kit for your 50 so it's better to ride on the street..and then u still have the standard dirt set-up sittin at home incase u wanna go hit a ramp or cut some laps on the track

[banksy]

ive had heaps of those toys, and trust they get boring real quick.

just get a dirt bike and find some jumps............

[Rosie125]

i havent ridden mine since xmas eve when i was pulling it apart 2 fix it up :D

[sik_50]

get a xr, crf, thumpstar, pitty....any of them make a good motard 50.u just gotta get the motard kit for them

[lillyisfat]

what about a yz85

[sik_50]

85's fair hook....they would be a good super motard bike i suppose....i ride my yz85 over the huge hill called the sidling and it's about 5 km of windy road.good fun
