Re: pit bikes?
I think some people call them 'midi motos', like the mini moto, but nice forks/suspension, a bit bigger, and more power.

Re: pit bikes?
You can get some cheap n cheerful chinese 125 pit bikes, I know a couple of lads who bought them. I'll ask where they got them when I get into work on Monday, one of the folk that rides round on them with them came off when his top yoke exploded on a little European one. I think they only paid about £100 a piece for them
