mini motos

you can pick up a 'cag' (not sure what the name means) for bout £199 from loads of places!
air cooled and usually problem free.

it is great fun

and hope to pop up to bristol for a track day on a sunday when its basicaly run what ya brung which will be fun with a load of friends

before ya know it there will be a sv.org minimoto team!

or maybe not.....lol

£200?! I always thought these ones would last about 5 minutes before breaking down or blowing up! That's very cheap. Think I will invest in one then and annoy the neighbours.

the one blue has got.....he says its been pretty problem free!

spose not much to go wrong

have you been to the nec and been on the minimotos there?

they go all day with no problems being ragged by hundreds of people

i was tempted to swap mine....but now i got mine going and know what to do to make it better...mmm...im keeping it!

its a hooner!

You can get 'cags' (think it is short for cagilera (sp), the town/factory they are made in or summin BTW ... ) pretty cheap these days.

I paid ~£200 for mine when I first got it a few years ago, but you can get a cag off eBay for £70 delivered these days. With no digging to find a cheaper one, here’s one that is £100 delivered http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2007-49cc-Race...QQcmdZViewItem

You can get a B1 rep like socommk23 and I have for ~£200 delivered these days. (I paid >£300 when I got mine).

They are all Chinese rubbish, so the build quality is questionable, but where the cags are so much less powerful the demands on the components are much less. As mentioned, I have never had any proper problems (except tething) with my cag … but the B1 has caused hassle in one way or another every time I have used it!! As they are only ~£70 new, I’d recommend a cag to cut your teeth with, if you like it then either get a proper Blata, Polini etc (£600-£1500 depending on model) which will cause you fewer problems or a rep … and expect to be at it with ya spanners

This is the place I go … its basically like an indoor Kart track (they do go-carts too) http://www.minimoto.co.uk/

They do race days, they do evening that are essentially run the same as a bike trackday would be … they also have hire bikes if you just wanna give it a crack …

Let me upload a vid to entice you …

edit: here you go, here's a taster ... I'll upload some more

That sounds like there is a story behind that comment ... do tell

I'll have a think... though Russ might just tell you anyway.

HEHEHEHEHE!

OH THE IMAGES IN MY MIND STILL MAKE ME LAFF!

some kid bought his minimoto to a shop in portsmouth we used to hang around at at bike meets. it was the first time i had a go and worried bout trashing it...the kid looked worried but i was ok on it...thank god!

then grinch has a go...feet keep dropping off the pegs...keeps strugling to move and stay on...then just wellies it...it wheelies! then comes down...tank slaps then back up again as he pins the throttle!

suddenly he is on his back....moto between his legs on back wheel spining up and the kid is running as fast as he can to save his now cracked pride and joy!

hehehehehehehe

So let me get this straight, you/Grinch basically took a kids minimoto from him and crashed it?!!?! That's nasty!

Another (longer) vid .. mostly of the B1 .. but some of the cag at the end (where the B1 snapped its chain ).
