N Roach Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Hi,Me and mate are thinking of getting a Pit Bike each, most probably a 110cc. Does anyone know where the best place is to buy these bikes with the best service and prices? Looking to spend about £200-£300. Also where do they race these, I have seen videos of the "Mini Bike Pro" League. Further more I have been looking at the Bulldog 125cc, 4 stroke, Is that any good or can i get better for my money?

Gavyn. Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) ebay. I got my one off of there for 250 and it it was ace. you can't race an ebay bike though the people you'll be racing against will have spent thousands on theirs and they will be a heck of alot faster. best thing you can do is find a farmer with and empty field and ask nicely. they might tell you to f**k off they might not it's the risk you take. just don't race on the streets or ride them where you shouldn't, I took a shortcut home across a playing field one night on my bike, was spotted and got an asbo for it, all because i couldn't be arsed to walk 15mins extra.my friend and I....

Sir_Hops_Alot Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I would highly reccomend the bulldog 125, i've had one. They are fast as f*ck and so torquey it's unreal. Godd strong reliable bikes aswell, also all the parts are level 1 entry race spec. Edited March 28, 2008 by Sir_Hops_Alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the most local club or event nearest to England? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Having quite a lot of previous experience with Minimoto's, if you spend a good amount on one £500 onwards, then you can get yourself a good quality one.That being for pit bikes, I'd say around the £800 mark would be the best.But if your just looking for some fun or something to start on, the one you linked to will do just keep an eye on all the components, go over the bike when you get it, apply a bit of threadlock on anything that can work loose, and most importantly check the frame quite often.Minimoto's were so cheap, and mainly because the frames couldn't hold up and had stress fractures occur everywhere.Some are luck, because the build quality on them is terrible some are better than others, mine lasted me a good year of racing (had to keep on checking and welding the frame though) but the bike still can run today (I've had it for about 3 years), whereas some peoples only lasted them a month.Just be aware that most cheap Chinese bike stuff is cheap for a reason, if you keep an eye out then you can avoid any big problems.
