OK for the whole of my bike riding days ive riden pitties.. and now im starting to get interested in the whole mini jap bikes.. can somone give me a rundown on everything that happens with these bikes??
eg
what bikes do people hot up??
how much are you looking at for a second hand 50
how quick would a 50 go
how much money are you looking at if you buy a stock 50 and do it up??
if you could answer any of these questions it would be awesome..

depends what the ultimate goal is, regards working an engine....
you could score a flogged out 50 for $100, or spend $3000+ on a worked one thats never seen dirt...
a stock 50 is like a slug... fun to stand on and has about the same top speed....
once again, depends on the ultimate goal... speed? jumping? stunting? weekend mudbowls? showing off your well endowed wallet and willingness to flash the cash?  useless, i know  |

Dont need a fourth gear if your riding good 50 tracks. 3 gears is the best.
Stockers go ok. Fast enough to have fun and hit dirt jumps and ride tracks. I love having a stocker aswell as a modded crf50.
Grab a stocker for $1000 these days. Cheap as. Modded crf50's are going very very cheap now. You can get nice 88's for like $2000-2500, sometimes cheaper.
I like the idea of buying a stocker and building it up yourself, thats what i did. You can make it how you want it....But if you just want to buy it already done then now is the time. There are deals on Crf50s going non-stop right now.
