honda crf50 thoughts and opinions please.

[wipeass]

hey guys,
im new to this forum so if iv got this post in the wrong place just give us a heads up and ill move it.
im 6ft 2 inches but im looking at getting a crf50 just for ***** and giggles. im guessing id need to make the rear suspension higher somehow and get some bmx bars on it.
its only an idea at the moment but any thoughts and opinions would be sweet. my other option is just get a pitpro 140xr or something similar.

i was thinking a second hand one(so around 1500). but i see other peoples and they look so much bigger? almost as though they have a new frame?
and thanks for the welcoming

yeah mate, some people do upgrade there frame
others just upgrade the suspension, forks and bar kit
persionaly, i reckon just upgrade the suspension and bar kit and maybe if you want to chuck in a 88 kit but thats my opinion.
good luck matey and welcome to miniriders

well if your not ugrading your frame your probably going to brace the stock one or it will be in half in no time

lies , my stock frame lasted two years even with a +4 swingarm and forks and they wont snap they will just bend.

but yes the stock frame isnt ment for the abuse most people put them through but people shouldnt bag them out because they are a pretty strong frame .

i ride mtb too, soo iv actually got a fox float rp23 just sitting on my bedside table. i could chuck that in it. i just recieved my dpro 160 and i think a crf50 in the near future would be fun to muck about on. thanks for all the help guys.

I reckon get a dhz110 because they are allready dun up good and are cheaper and the engine is between 140 and 50 and that dhz goes well because i have a crf50 and a dhz110 and because the dhz is a chinese it may break down after two or three years and you can get the same engine it has in it for $300.
cheers.

 

[drew573]

get a dhz110 instead
