latley their been more not very minis coming out like bikes with 14" wheels are not mini bikes in my opinion. the idear of a mini bike is it to be small and sketchy to ride? sum bikes now are like the size of jap 80's! wat u guyes recon just for sumthen to talk about?
 
I saw a AGB29 on ebay with 14" rear and 17" front and they were plugging it as the next best thing so you will probably see more of them soon.
 
I run the 12" and 14" Combo and have also run 12" 12" for a long time too, either two I like And would prob also like a 12" 10" combo.

Its because its a copy of a copy of a copy of a crf.
Its just getting further and further from the original mini!!
 
10 / 10 on the crf & AGB-29 runs 14 / 12 but i'm going to turn it to a 12" front, feels to much like an 80cc & a bit hard for the street rides
 
Hmm I think pit-bikes should be a kind of their own, seperate from mini-bikes and full-sized bikes.
 
Yeah I think pit bikes are 12/14 and mini bikes are 10/10 or 12/10.
I like the look of the 10/10.
 
I think if you run 12/14 or bigger it looks weird you got small plastics an frame an the wheels look a bit to big. i run 10r-12f on the thumpstar looks great an fun to ride, any bigger an it looks weird.
 
Its sorta a different step from Mini Minis..

its called Midsized Minis.. with a 14"front wheel etc..

like the real 50s should only go up to 12" front wheel.. but meh.. im carrying on!
 
my bike came with 14/12
didnt like the front wheel
so i changed to 12/12
its the sweetest change ive made
bike looks like a mini now!

I agree with most of you,

12"/14" is really good for bush riding through deep ruts and steep decents create a less steep rake angle

12"/12" is great for Motard tar track riding better size for slicks and it drop the front end down lower and gives better turning circle, creates steep rake angle

same as 10"/10" or 11"/11" get it? it changes the ergos and centre of gravity on any bike.
