Ice cream AND mini bikes...can life get any better?

I shouldnt but every time this thread gets updated i re-read the whole build and then am off to CL. Does not help that my boss has 3 sitting at the shop staring at me weekly.

It just looks like a blast!

Keep it up and keep updating us

How fast do these things go stock? Modded?

I am not sure how fast they go stock. I always buy the non running basket cases. The Lifan 125 engine is most happy around 40-45mph but will go 55mph if you ring it out. The YX160 will do well over 70mph with gearing and 12in wheels.

Over the weekend we took minibikes to a car show and the BMW Experience.

Wow, I bet 55+ feels insane on such a small bike!

Bent my frame taking it off sweet jumps.

This is nearby, I'm tempted...

I would pay $200 at most for that thing.

Here is a picture from a recent ride:

What is this?

Honda ZB50, they were only imported to the US for 1 year. A little over 3000 were sent here so they are pretty hard to find.

Whats the clone version of it?

In reply to CarKid1989:

Joy ride motors ChimChim 125 Yes, I was wondering the same thing yesterday.

I can't wait for a dead ringer knock-off of a grom to be available here, then to pick up a used one on CL for pennies, barely broken in, because the owner thinks its a Chinese piece of junk, when the only reason it won't start is because the valves need to be adjusted, which wasn't done at the first service. BTDT.

i almost want that bike solely cause its called a "ChimChim"

If you are looking for a clone on craiglist, search for Skyteam and bad Boy CX. Those were a couple of clone bikes that were sold a while back. Those will have a better chance of being the clogged carb types that people practically give away.

Here is one near Chicago but they are asking more than the price of a new one...

Yeah, I wish I knew somebody in Jersey.

i was wanting to see a pic with one of you on it...

Yeah that's a steal.

Do any of you single slingers need or want a pile of honda stuff for cheap. 4 speed trans, heads, engine pieces, 70cc top end rebuild kit, new cam, IIRC not stock, etc. Tony, Grand Rapids MI I'll be in Joliet IL tomorrow until sunday for the Lemons race.
