New Pitbike for 09 season
 

Well, me new toy is about ready to go :cheers:


I'm supermotoing a 140cc pitbike next year for a giggle. The wheels got delivered this week, so I've been out today fitting 'em and the hand guards. Crash bobbins fitted last week. Barring a catch tank it's all ready to go play. hehehehe.

All being well, this is what I'll be doing.............

looks good fella, is it more accessable than most racing?? less expensive?? cuz that looks like fun!

Looks like great fun. Something im thinking of getting into. Nearly bort a brand new bike for £800 the other day.....good price or no?

Mornin,
No ACU licence needed - so instantly more accessable. And costs wise - it's ne of those where you can spend what you like.

The bike I have there is £500 delivered to your door. Then maybe another £200 - £300 on wheels/tyres, allowed modification etc. I've spent just less than £500 by buying a second hand bike. I'm only doing it for a giggle, so not spending a fortune. A weekends racing (practice & qualifying on Sat then 3 races Sunday) costs approx £65.

So cost wise, I think it is really cheap - and the beer and bbq's on an evening are a bonus :cheers:

And Rai86 - Depends on what the bike is. There's that many of 'em floating about, really cheap Chinese import type stuff upto fully race preped monsters.


There is a couple of clubs (that I know of) that race nationally. The MMRA - who I'll be racing with (already race the minimoto sidecars) and then the newly formed NPS. All club info is on the above link too.


Cmooooooooooooooooooon. Who's up for a giggle?
