10", The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

[foolsp33d]

So.. time to look at another option in the world of mini bikes..Im over trying to chase parts for the Z'd and figure if i can purchase something new and complete, then why not.*

Considering iv got a limited amount of carry space and riding area is basically restricted to a couple of basket ball courts in size, im considering a semi auto 110(or similar)

Id like to hear from members who actually have ride experiance or first hand experiance with these buggers. i DONT want to hear from people whos friends friends cousins neighbour has one, and its crap coz your 140 beats it. Leave them answers RIGHT out of my thread. I Want to hear peoples honest views, what they got, what problems they have encountered, what mods they are doing, or would like to do in the future.

Iv narrowed the selection of bikes in the line up to those coming from the box with a 10" rim. This means the overall size of the bike is relative to A where i am riding and B will easily fit in the zook.

So the contenders.

Pitpro 110.

Orion 70.

Crf50(with some mods!)

If you know of OTHER contenders not listed please give a picture or a link.

Obviously the CRF would be ultimate, being a jap bike with a better quality frame forks engine basically whole package, but finding the funds to purchase just isnt possible atm, hence why the china alternative just works well.

Basically the bike WILL NOT be jumped, it will however be used as a bog runner while camping and learner stunter(12 o clock bar, upgraded pegs/ fork springs etc) in the suburban times.

Rider weight between 70-80kg, height of upto 6ft1.
Servicing and general maintenace are no problem, and if need be frame strengthening can be done.

So lets hear from some 10" rim members.. Show me what you have, Give me a run down, Post up a pic or two. If possible and you are willing to disclose how much you picked your bike up for and where from would be greatly appreciated.

*interested? PM me offers. Not listing in classifieds as its not officially for sale, but cash talks
(z50J, no compliance, original 50cc and ducar 125 engine, recent respray, 95% complete.)

 

[sus1]

its a 90cc tho

 

[realmenride50s]

go the crf50

 

[Custom]

Put 10s under the Z, CRF style exhaust and better rear shocks (hard to stunt on non dampened shocks) All depends on what parts you need for it

 

[roost666]

i have road the orion70 and its the most uncomfortable thing i ever rode and im shorter than 6'1" but maybe a flat seat or something would fix that

 

[wogtaz ryder]

its just a matter of getting used to the smaller bikes , once you do you wont wanna go back to midsize!

 

[foolsp33d]

nice one sus1! forgot bout the vert. Ta!

realmenride, WOULD go a crf, but limited funds are putting a stop to that for now. would LIKE to have it purchased, shipped and slightly modded for $800 odd.

Custom, agree the Z'd IS the way to go, as its all there..basically.., but would mean new fork legs and at $150+ for OME blah to that, new bars or top plate for fork legs, new shocks, then trying to mix and match bits that will actually fit..
needs tyres, bars, fork legs, ign. module for ducar, carbie, brake pads, seat needs recovering, tank has a couple of dents.. (iv just lost the motivation to go on with it.. maybe ONEDAY my kids can pick it up and continue.. LOL.)

Wogtaz, anymore updates on your 10/12 ride ?

cheers for the replys guys.. still dosnt give much insight into the 10" world thou..

Find a slightly older crf50 with tallseat and barkit for around $800, its so worth paying that little bit more for somthing that will last forever and cost less in the long run

 

[wogtaz ryder]

hey i had a pitpro 110 they are a good bike with good power and still pretty cheap.

 

[coolmodee01]

this one pretty good
 2007 JUNIOR CXF90
and i think cheaper than the vert

can also look at there 50/70 they similar to the atomik but quality outlasts buy a long shot

personally you need to go the crf for around the bush drunken reliability you cant go wrong

i'd sell ya my diafo but she's my baby and i dont wanna part with him

 

[orion125proseries06]

ok ive no idea on the 10s but i can think of sum ideas
if you've got 800 buckeroonies, why dont you either 1 buy a old crf (look on ebay) or 2 build your own, but i dont think there are many cheapo 10" parts around. but thats a "i whish i could" ideas.

 

[WyldOne]

I've got a 07 PitPro 110cc that I am converting into a 140cc (new engine) that has 10"/10" wheels. Overall it was a great bike and it was pretty gutsy for a 110cc as I could do monos in every gear. There is a pic of the bike in my sigantaure section and that is how it looks atm.

 

[foolsp33d]

your sig bike is actually what got me thinkin to the 10x10's....

The Z'd hasnt changed look wise.. just position in the shed lol.

wonder if I can swap the forks over for PP items and run a spoked rim..

then id want to rig the rear with either a single swing arm or upgraded twin shocks.. with a spoked rear.. sigh.. Lifes a bitch..

 

[I_THUMP]

this one pretty good
*2007 JUNIOR CXF90

That CXF90 looks good and the front forks have got a bit of travel

 

[Custom]

Im running forks off a china in mine. Went straight in. I cant see why the forks off any ballbearing headstem frame wouldnt fit. Also the china 10 inch rims im running take Z50 brake hubs, only 5 mins with a hacksaw or 30 seconds with a grinder to make new left side spacer for the rear. PM me, i'll talk you into finishing that Z one way or another

 

[Custom]

BTW Crazeemomma (the g/f) just said if you dont want it send it to us, she'll pay postage lol

 

[byh0005]
