hey mate welcome to the forum

most of our fellow miniriders ride $1000 china bikes like me l0l

but there are a few japs on here like

you,mini mulisha,sidney and a few other but by far your bike sounds to be a TOP NOTCH mini as is mini mullishas

but dont let all the chaina's turn you away mate this site is great and full of info

 

[trickstar1]

cheers mate, nah I won't let the china's turn me away, don't really care what other people ride, as long as they are having fun. just interested really

hey man im on the honda aswell. crf50

 

[trickstar1]

i am heading back to oz in a couple of weeks, sold the 70, and i think i am going to build a klx, just checking epay for a donor bike at the momment..... I am thinking a full two bro's with tb mobs to the engine as they are cheaper than the taky gear...... but there is nothing like the power of a 124 super head on the 70 it is fuckin insane. Check out this site www.min4gb.com this is the race series i raced last year. Midi open class

 

[trickstar1]

I love the 50's thats exactly what a mini should look like, have you left it pretty stock

 

[unit_mx]

What about the euro dawgs??? If it aint orange then its a lemon
Aint a mini but just puttin it out there haha.

Imports do the trick for me. I'd make the purchase of 88 limo if there was local races held but thats not a reality. If I lived on the goldie/sunny coast I would be on a honda for sure but I can justify spending the amount required on a japenese mini without any races being held. I preety much playride with the odd muck around race but nothing the china can't cope with. If i feel a bit wild I just get on the big bike and cut loose. Finance isn't a issue when it comes to buying a mini as you can get a stocker for $700 and do the basics without going over 2k , just a matter of tailoring your bike to suite your needs I guess. I think the miniworld needs to relise that other wise there will be a constant conflict , just get on your mini and thrash it. Fun is what its all about , Ride mini bikes for fun not to make a statement.

By the way trickstar got any photo's of this 70? Preety keen to see it. Welcome to the forums

I hear what your saying about ridding for fun, as soon as i started racing this is the kind of set up you need to be competitive in a midi open class when the cc goes up to 160, with some of the guys stroking them to 180 (illegally). I don't think it is all about making a statement, it's about having a fuckin awesome, reliable, fast, well setup bike. imo

 

[unit_mx]

Thats one of the nicest 70's ive seen to date , looks insane ay.
Well done.
How much does it owe ya?

 

[trickstar1]

It owes me way to much, if you built with new parts including the donor bike, your looking at 8300 pounds, sold it for 5 about three weeks ago, was sad to see it go...... but looking forward to the next build...

 

[themountain]

next build ...stay away from the 4v...get a new billetware cradleframe(klx+crf) , yx 177cc engine, some DNM forks+ shock and you got still enough doe left to have a normal life!!

 

[mxb_125]

wohoo. i wish i had that id be unstopable in epping no perosn would keep wit h me or no cop would get near me, and id give it what it wants a big big big thrashing

 

[trickstar1]

nah i want a jap engine at the heart of it, need to decide on klx or crf70, and i have 5g in pounds to build another, so thats like 10 aussie. so should be able to have nice midi and a normal life.

 

[themountain]

...whatever floats your boat...a klxframe with an ktm sx65 arm is pretty trick...did see some on PM.....and are you sure you are a Newbie??

 

[trickstar1]

haven't seen that, but have seem reegmx modded frame, head tube angle changed by 4 degrees, with ktm 65 swinger and forks. This seppo guy built it and it is the best looking 70 i have ever seen, i will try and track down a photo......... and year newbie on this site, just not to the sport

 

[mxb_125]

how quick is your bike that you got now that 70cc how fast dose that go in top speed, and dose it pull both top/bottom end power good

 

[Peter16]

Honda all the way!!

 

[trickstar1]

how quick is your bike that you got now that 70cc how fast dose that go in top speed, and dose it pull both top/bottom end power good

no idea how fast it goes in top speed, depends on how it's geared, riding bikes fast around a track is not all about top end speed mate, it's very rare on any mini track i have ridden they you get it 3rd gear pinned. it's not a 70cc engine anymore, it's a full taky 124 super head. Yeah it pulls and pulls and pulls mate.

 

[mxb_125]

yeh i know bout that shit dont worry everysingle person doesnt shut oup on this website about bikes are made for tracks. but yeh i dont mean you man, if its only got 3 gears they would be extremely stretched on a takegawa 124cc wodnt they
