lol nice i looked at pocket bikes a long time ago when they first got real big and people started racing them. hell with like 1500 bucks you can buy a new 110 and have money left over to mod the hell out of it. pretty fin but dangerous at the same time. if i was more of a rider and had a kid i would deff spoil him with one and start him off early.

yeah the 50cc ones are great for kids, hell even a lot of adults can ride and race them



The 110s are bigger. I think if I ever have a kid I'll start them out on a 110 just because of how close it is to a full sized bike. Here's a video of one, the best shots are at the end with the high quality pictures, he has some other good videos of it too where it doesn't sound half bad. I'll be modding mine passed that though, like I said I'm shooting to be able to go about 80 on it and that's still not pushing it passed what you can do to them lol. I've ridden my buddies and they are way too fun to pass up, even if you have an unmodded 50cc and just zip around on it doing like 20-30mph, you completely forget you're not on a full sized bike and it feels like you're going faster and it's just a blast lol. If you have a couple hundred I'd say buy one off craigslist just for shits and giggles even.

nice vid, makes me wanna get one. i used to have a little 49cc one a neighbor gave me. got it running, muffler fell off so it was REALLY loud lol and i lived on a lake and would ride it all around the shore jumping everything i could find. hit one decent size jump this one time and almost landed on a big ass duck! i ended up laying it down that time but not me, the duck, or the bike got hurt so it was all good. was going to fully build a 110 and put on that frame but decided it would be a death trap and someone would get hurt so i didnt.

lmao 110 on a 50 frame!? No thank you, although they do have these ones (can't remember the name) that are on the 50 frame but go stupid fast and are meant for the track/racing. I think they go something like 80 stock! But at the same time they cost more than a used full sized bike so unless you're really into minnies I think it's a waste of money. then again by the time I finish working on my bike it will be up there in price too Gah talking about it makes me want one NAO!

The lancia delta evo was powered by an inline four(i belive built by the renault f1 engineer) the was both supercharged and turbo charged, and was basicly produced just to meet homolagation regulations for group B in the early 80s. Unfortunatly the cars were too fast and a few spectators were killed in a few rounds so group b was dropped. The ford rs200 was the most badass of them all and basicly on par with formula 1 at the time tech wise but never saw a race. Little late to the party lol.

The most badass machines run through the baja penesula though nothing would beat 800+h,p 30+ inches of wheel travel, 42 inch tall tires at 120mph going through a washboard section.

Erm if i remember rightly the delta was never twin charged only ever turbocharged and the RS200 was actually one of the crappiest cars not the most badass, never even won a rally in the single year it competed, now if you want a seriously mental Group B car look up the Audi Quattro S1 lol

The car's 1,759.3 cc four-cylinder engine combined supercharging and turbocharging to reduce turbo lag at low engine speeds.[SUP][1][/SUP] Officially, the car produced 480 horsepower (350 kW), but the one that participated in the 1986 World Rally Championship developed over 560 horsepower (417 kW). In 1985, Lancia engineers tested a S4 engine under extreme conditions, reaching 5 bars boost, developing around 1000 horsepower. An engine capacity multiple of 1.4 was applied to forced induction engines by the FIA and the choice of 1,759 cc put the S4 in the under 2,500 cc class, which allowed for a minimum weight of 890 kg (1,962 lb). The combined super/turbocharger system (often referred to as twincharging) was a development of the 037 engine that produced 350 hp (261 kW) with a supercharger only.


The rs200 evo2 was one of the most bad ass machines ever built and i stand behind that. never seen the light of day because of the crashes in group b fia but won a few rallycross championships.The road based rs200 was a cobbled together POS

The audis never won a group b championship so by your reasoning they suck too, im guessing your young because you somehow have to put down my opinion to validate yours. But yeah I agree the audis were a badass car and untouchable in the snow just not a techie as the rs200s were.

Looking back I wish someonelike sebastien loeb would have driven the wheels of one.

 

[cannabineer]

wish they had those in america, its basically a 4 door gto.

They had'em as the Pontiac G8 GXP, with the 6.2l LS3 engine. Nice cars, and co-designed by the fellow who'd designed the BMW M5 that debuted in the late 90s. Car reviewers claimed that the GXP and the M5 (pre-V10) were very similar-behaving cars. And I like Bimmers. Never could find a clean used GXP that was also affordable. cn

ehh something pushes me away from bmw. ive driven several and idk what it is. something to do with the suspension i think. i like a stiff ride and being able to feel the road but they just feel weird. idk exactly what it is but i dont like the way they drive.

Maybe I was lucky. I owned an (American-spec, so slow) E36 M3. That was the best car I've ever had and probably ever driven. While it was in service once they gave me a 318i with a slushbox as a loaner, and that car was dreadful. Ex's 4-cyl '96 Accord beat it in every department: performance, comfort, fun, overall pleasantness. cn

i like their looks and engines but interior isnt that great to me on the bmws and again just the way they drive...

my one close friends step dad is a slum lord, and he's go an older 7 series bmw.. i've driven it a few times and i really liked it.. never really got to drive it in anger as my friend was always in the car atm, but it was always super responsive in the steering, and had plenty of pep even for being a pretty large car imo..
i'd love to drive an m5 though. beamers are very nice imo.

I feel that way about the new Camaro, which i test-drove last year. Nice design from outside. Nice concept. Great engine, tranny, suspension. But the interior disappointed me, and those [bad word] gunslit windows were just simply [same word, preceded by a family member] unsafe. I'm appalled at the direction car greenhouse design has taken of late. cn

i think the new camaro has gone the wrong direction completely. new corvette on the other hand is outstanding.

being that my first car was a 67 camaro, i was really excited when i first saw the concept camaro's a few years ago.. but i have to admit, i've been a bit disappointed with them once i saw them live and in person.. never got to sit in one, they just seemed to have missed the mark a bit imo..

ya i love camaros of all ages except the 3rd gen and the new ones. new ones are slow and heavy.

lol i stand corrected, always thought it was just turbo`d.

Also since you like the RS200 did you know in England in a certain Ford testing facility they have a quad turbo RS200 running over 1000bhp, a throwback from the group B days, its in their museum now along with a fair few other rare oddities

I'd love to have one of the older V8 M5s, with the six-speed of course. I've watched the Top Gear bits about the new one with the V10 and they've put far too much flashy tech into the cockpit for my tastes.
But I'd take the Bim ahead of any AMG, except mmmmaybe the SLS. Gonna go on a vid hunt .. there's a German analog of Top Gear (GRIP Motormahazin) and they have a Youtube vid of the SLS against a hot Porsche and something else. I will say that the Merc makes the sweetest pure V8 bellow this side of the V8 Vantage (Aston) ... cn


<add> found it. Love the accents: Bavaria v. Baden-Württemberg.

[racerboy71]

yeah, the sls's have such a lovely growl, dare i say almost an american muscle v8 sound to them? they're very unique in that aspect for sure, and i for one can appreciate simply the growl of them.
they are pretty quick as well, they're near the all time fastest lap list on top gear bbc, surprised as i was by that fact.. i even love the styling of them..

 

[racerboy71]

i'm like richard hammond, i've always loved 911's..

the thing i really like about 911's is they're so easy to spot, even 50 plus years later, you can still spot a 911 by first glance.. being i liked to og design, i'm happy about that fact..

 

[drolove]

Mmm....SLS....ive seen quite a few of them even a first gen SLS! love them all! and im a porsche guy so i love the 911 as well. i would take any model 911 OR SLS any day lol
