I bought a new 50cc 2 stroke off Egay ($200)+ postage a while back and had to bassically rebuild the fucked thing , but when i finally got it running and riding smooth ,it went like stink ,have thrashed shit out of it even through dirt and cant kill it done about 30 hrs , just seems to be getting faster, had to rip my r/c car apart and hook it up to the kill switch so the kiddies didnt come unstuck.
The mod shop sell similar ones 2 and 4 stroke that look half ok.

now that we are settled in we are finding it pretty cool. Not so much on the partying tho as i am an old man with to many kids!! plus there arent any skimpys any more so there is even less motivation!! Kal cup is next weekend and u will find my drunken arse in the champions tent, free grog and food all day!!!

i put the question out there for the litlle shitter bikes as i dont want to waste days in perth looking for a bloody little 4 wheeler and i thought yo guys might have known where to go to get one?? i am going to get the kids a yamy pw50 in the new year but just wanted them to have a bash on one of them before to get an idea of throttle etc.

i need to get me a dirt bike aswell, so if any one hears of one up for sale let me know

cheers,

chris

ive got a xt600..regod , ive never heard of Kal NOT having skimpys!?!?!?

Its safer to teach your 5 year old kids to ride a CR500 than a chinese 50cc quad at full noise.I may know of a Kawasaki 50cc quad 4 sale if your interested?...it wont break.

YES KAL HAS NO SKIMPYS...the the first time ever the front door at the exchange remain open and the window shutters stay open!! very very bad.

for myself i am after either a 2 stroke 250 (kx or yz) or 4 stroke 400+ (yz426/450) very limited by budget at the mo.

Davo could be interested in the quad mate i am in no hurry hto as it is a christmas present. yeah i know the chinese as not strong but i have the luxery of have a fitter machinest with access to the right machines to cut-shut and strengthen.

out there wouldnt you be better with a newish xr650 , 450 would wear out in 5 mins rebuild it every second week

Common misconception, my 01 model 426 is getting its first top end rebuild after 7 years of thorough punishment racing enduros, motocross and dessert races all over the state and if a couple of seasons in newman cant kill one kal wont..

because i am buying with a budget in mind i am thinking that the 2 stroke would be a better decision as its easier and cheaper to throw a set of rings etc in that get a 4 stroke that someone has flogged and have to fork out for a rebuild.

dont know but i am in no rush so something will pop up and be just right.

if any of you guys know anyone thats got a 2 stroke 2000 model+ 250 let me know.

cheers lads
