Default Anyone own a pit bike?

Looking to buy one soon, was looking at the Welsh Pit Bikes BoYo 110CC, nice and cheap at £399 and should do the job of messing in mud.

What you got?

Thanks

Lol, they are a relatively know brand, they deal with Stomp motobikes also.

I'll maintain the engine, make sure i oil change it regulary as i hear this is what you are suppose to do.

Thanks

WPB pit bikes are really good, but will cost a bit more than £399.00.....

Google them and get a decent bike.

The main thing you have to remember about these bikes is the engines are a 25 year old design. Only use the cheapest mineral oil you can get. They will fall apart you just have to invest in a load of spare nuts and bolts. I raced pitbikes for 2 years and it was great fun, just keep checking them.

Try and run the engines in if possible.

CRF 70 frame is a minimum for an adult imo......look at spending a little bit more.

The small framed pitbikes will bore you very quickly..

I believe the CRF50 that is used is a copy and it's slightly stronger.

I'm not looking to race pit bikes, just for a bit of dirty fun, drive through some puddles of mud lol, up some muddy hills, catch a little bit of air, you know that type of thing.

Best bit is i have no way to get it around, i think if i take the front wheel and bars of i may have a chance to get it in my stripped Impreza haha.

If i get into it then i will obviously look more into it.

Thanks
