Hi all i am after 2 of these pocket bikes i want the bigest ones you can get i would like a harley or the road bike just after some prices thanks or some info were to get them from cheap i'm in melb

I went to savedirect today... saw some of their goods. This guy was riding a yellow pocket bike and full speed up and down the street, looked mad. He told me the one he was riding costs $800, 49cc Air cooled, Key ignition, Max speed of 60kmph.

What do you guys thik of em?? Reliable?? or a total waste of money?

save direct dont have the best quality bikes.

I just picket this up yesterday ;)

Which is the new 4 stroke 70cc ones

But i got it for a better price than that advertised.

This thing hauls ass and is alot bigger than the 49cc mini bikes you can get. The speedo reads to 60MPH and riding around my court and nearby park i had it to around 45MPH (72km/h) at the start of 4th, but wasnet going flat out coz for the first few tanks of fuel you need to run the engine in!!!

With the 4 speed semi automatic (clutchless) you can shift at full throttle and it will pop the front wheels in the air in every gear change.

Will get pics of it tonight.

damn that looks nice... but i heard that anything bigger than 49cc needs to be registered or you need a license??

What the deal with your one?

Mate if you know me you would know i dont care about little details like that ;)

It looks like the biggest 49cc bike and i only ride in in the park and on deserted roads.

Hey mate how much did you pay for this bike if you dont mind telling me i have been looking on ebay and been to a few stores but they variy so much in price and most of them look the same. anyone know were to get a good cheap one from thanks

Not yet but close, once nearly head butted a car turning into my court and another one hit a pot hole on a foot path in the park at about 70 km/h and went off on the grass but stayed on the bike, luckly it has hydraulic suspension otherwise it would have ended in tears!!!

is it more fun to drive than your skyline? :D

Na, it a total different type of experience!!

Since cops still think a bov has something to do with the exhaust then they are not going to know the difference between a 49cc and 70cc bike!!!

plus i know sfa about bike engines either!!

Good point, is the 70cc model bigger than the 49's?? coz im not buyin one of those puny ones where your knees can smack you in the face whilst racing

Finially got some pics of the bike last night after i changed the oil to some full synthetic 4 stroke oil!!

Rode around for about 3 hrs on sunday with 2 mates with 49cc mini bikes in local industrial estate with long straights and fast corners and even with my heavy carcus kicked their asses easily. Most times on the long straights i could pull around 15-20 bike lenghts on them, they would catch me a little in the corner coz my bike is double the weight of theirs and not as easy to turn, and the fact that i was going nearly double the speed of theirs into the corner before braking, and i was hitting speeds of near 85-90km/h down the main straights.

The 4 speed gearbox makes such a difference and the 70cc engine has so much more torque and top end than the 49cc ones, and 1 of the 49cc ones had a few modifications, and mine was 100% stock!!

I am looking at some modifications for mine but since the bike is new on the market most of the available parts for my engine are only in the USA. There is a supercharger kit for the 4 strokes available in aus which at 8psi gives 10hp power gain. That would make my bike total about 14KW and weigh with me on board around 135kg.

Word to the wise:

When someone crashes the bike your about to ride just before you venture out onto the track on it, remember to make sure the tank/seat/tail assembly is still firmly attached to the frame of the bike.

I low-sided BADLY last night with the throttle pinned wide open coming out of a fast right hander onto the back straight at my local go-kart track. Tank/seat/tail assembly fell clean off and me with it!

My knee and elbow hurt real bad!! :)

Fark it was fun though!!

I have already come off once on sunday in the industrial estate trying to take a left hander to fast and with the back wheel locked trying to slide through the corner, and only scraped the right hand side fairing a bit and added a small crack to it also. I only got a slight scratched elbow. 1 of my friends on the 49cc mini bike tried to pop a mono and ended up flipping the bike and scraping the whole back of his bike and denting the exhaust muffler and having bleeding elbows and knees for his effort!!

Of course we stood there laughing at him for about 5 mins before we went to see if he was ok :)

I think you guys should start wearing leathers man....

then, start to lean like Rossi... with knee... would look rather hilarious on photo :headspin:

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
