Fifty Of The Month! NOV-DEC '09

um i dunno bout you but i can see like a fair few bling bits on it, and you cant really call it stock as rock, like a lifan 150cc comes stock with a ORK and ORK is not a stock part its like petes bike its come with a fair few good pieces but dunno bout you my eye sight is 20/20

ummm what? lol
you're saying a lifan 150, which come stock with an ORK, isn't stock because the ORK is a good part?? wft

so by that logic, the K1 is fully modded out, even tho it came stock with those parts, because the green bits look good?

Peter1230 they look like GPX forks, after changing to some good 20w oil they're mad forks. and from what I remember it has a DNM shocker?
I don't think you need better suspension, it's already got a mad setup

 

[pbk]

then wtf are you talking about.......

first off you just said nothing speacil about hes bike its stock as rock blah blah
but now your saying its got a mad setup?
mate im just gonna leave it at this but re read all of what you have said not adding up..

and bout the 150 i never actually stated that the engine is not stock but its got an aftermarket part so its not quite stock as a rock

 

[mini mullisha]

think i might vote for a bike owned by someone who actually contributes to the forum, not just a shiny crf trophy hunter.... Just cause it's got Taky, Sano or Five-O written on it, doesnt make it a better bike. Means you've got too much money to throw at a toy.. ha ha.. Sorry i really dont subscribe to the whole Jap is a squillion times better than any china crap... Must really grind the gears of the Brand-name snobs to line up at the gates against a sea of chinas that cost a quarter of the price, yet with the same or better performance, without the work to get there... Funny how the Chinese can build the bike, straight from the showroom floor, that Honda riders have to build themselves....

MiniMulisha's stealth Zed is pure porn... got my vote... with Snitchy's big blocked Zed running a close second..

DvDrip, peter1230's bike may not be far from stock, but how many K1's have you seen?? It's rare, and makes the Bling on mine look like a half-assed afterthought... Stock isnt always bad or boring...

And MV24, that's the best i've seen your bike look young fella, well done...

Thanks for the vote but hey man think ya got ya hand on it!!
Shinny thropie hunters?? to much money on a toy?
you may think that but to some of us its our lifes!!
We not some posser try hard want to be!! There is some of us that this is what we do we ride/ race minis.
We in it for life!! My bikes may hav cost a bit more than some out of the box chinese copy, but im gunna hav for my kids to ride when they grow older , and cant say a china bikes going to able to hold up like a good old HONDA built z50!!
I cant say i seen you at any races on ya bike on the line at the gate , and i bet if ya did ya would nt be doing it on the same bike for years with out touching the motor like my good old crf ,3-4 yrs racing on same set piston and rings!!
You can hav some chink build your bike for ya and another 1000 same as it or you could build a honda up yourself and hav a 1 of a kind bike that YOU built!! and know it will last the best testy of all time!!
HONDA FOR LIFE!! THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY 10 INCHES
Anything else is just a cheep copy!!

Basically all im saying is that it doesnt really matter where the bike is made because all that matters is how the bike is made.

This is one of the oldest debates in the miniriding community... I agree with the above quote. I think you all need to get over it becuase Chinas have their pro's and con's but so do the Japs. It'll never be a win win situation when it comes to bikes... You get what you pay for.

EDIT:

Here is just a few of the countries that the 4 main Japanese motor companies have some of their factories:

Yamaha
Head Office: Japan
Motorcycle production: Indonesia
Parts production: China

Honda
Japan, China, USA, Canada, Thailand, Indonesia

Kawasaki
Japan, Thailand, China

Suzuki
Japan, China, India

On the other hand, China companies are expanding and opening factories all over the world for example Lifan currently have factories in about 27 different countries and they are continually growing.

Agree with you ALL the way there Bretto! Brought on some GOOD Points!

The so called BLINGED Bikes of the CRFs like minimini's 88Lim, Greg's 106 and Snitchy and Bretto's Zedas are like that because the OWNERS are so passionate about them! I know a lot of money is spent on them but in the end, to someone who is in it because the loves 50s its all worth it.

Ive spent a little, not much compared to these guys on my 88Lim but enough to burn the wallet haha...but at the end of the day whatever you buy for the 50 its all worth it, just like these guys I Love them Its just an addiction you get when you are into them so much I guess haha.

Anyways for me a JAP CRF50 or KLX110 is my way to go!


Back to the topic...haha Im going to have to take a few days to make my vote...the HONDA'S are All Sweet its hard to decide on one

 

[rider456]

thump140 didnt you spend over $3000 building your china?? thats how much my crf50 build cost! so dont think im spending to much on a toy then.

I too would have to agree with the boys on this one. Building these things are a passion for people. If you can afford it, then good on you. You bag the bling then vote for a Z50 WHICH IS A HONDA and is blinged!!

There is an appropriate Greenday song for you Thump, "Walking Contradiction".

I have raced on a China against the Honda's before, a well setup Honda eat's a China. It's fact. Anyone that races can tell you that. The only class which would be an exception would be an Open class now that V2 heads etc are a lot cheaper. I'm sure Daimjoy's motors would go well.

Some Factories produce Higher Quality components than others in China. It's the FACTORIES SETUP and what RAW MATERIALS they use not the country that dictates part quality.

 

[rider456]

the funny thing is that thump spend $3000 on a china! lol

[rider456]

[Dreadful]

My 150 sr will run rings around an 88 limo ..... all day.

No biggy when fresh motor is only 400 bucks .... tell ya what .... you stay on your slow expensive RELIABLE bike .... and I'll stay on my FAST CHEAP unreliable one because I can fix it ...in fact I enjoy it

Look at the end of the day t's each too there own I'm sure we both enjoy riding and I think that's all that matters,I actually love hondas and what crew ut into them and really see value in em ...in fact want to build one but at 6.2"I just find my midsize more rideable.

i beg to differ man

 

[Hillz]

now now ladies, we all know a girl on a pink tricycle could beat you all

 

[Shearer]

mate im just gonna leave it at this but re read all of what you have said not adding up..

and bout the 150 i never actually stated that the engine is not stock but its got an aftermarket part so its not quite stock as a rock

I never said it wasn't a good bike, I was just saying I don't know what the appeal is on a stocker compared to the built bikes which have had allot of work done on them and are the owners pride n joy.

a lifan 150 with an ORK is not an aftermarket part, it comes stock with an ORK, it's a stock part.
now if a lifan 140 had an ORK it would be an aftermarket part.

Pete's bike is mad and I like it, but it's still stock as a rock because all the bling came on it stock, I know he put a new motor in it but that's not in the pic is it?

 

[50 nut]

Well its about time you put the 106 on greg & of course im going to vote for a bike i built & no how it performs ( not just all show & no go). Any way good luck, & Bretto sic job on the 50r mate it looks unreal. I will also add good luck getting your prizepack for winning fotm as im still waiting, starting to think its been sent to the north pole for Santa so he can deliver it for christmas to my little girl. 50nuts

a lifan 150 with an ORK is not an aftermarket part, it comes stock with an ORK, it's a stock part.
