pit bike

[BLS]

Anybody own or did own a speed mini 125 want to know are they reliable robust wee pit bike as I'm thinking of buying one,its not new.

If that's one of the cheap Chinese pit bikes it will probably be pretty poor quality. I owned one of the mini moto dirt bikes and it broke something very frequently. Just the only saving grace is that the parts are very cheap. Fantastic fun when they work!

It is says it's sdg speed mini if that means anymore?

From a quick google it certainly looks like one of the Chinese ones. It will work most of the time, but just make sure everything is tight etc before each ride. The vibrations of them will make short work of anything loose! I had my mini moto for a good few years, which granted the majority of it had been replaced over that time but the fun for the cost is fantastic.

I would never buy a pitbike again... for the money youl end up putting into it, why not get a yz125 or the likes.... I couldnt tell you the amount of bolts that went missing, ripped bolts out of the rear wheel hub, throttle cables, snapped chains. i got sick and sold it. two weeks later the engine blew.

Doesn't sound good then,ive never owned 1,there not reliable by any means then

Not in the slightest. Honestly, pick yourself up a 125. far more fun to be had. I always serviced my wee pitbike nearly every time i was out on it and it still cost a fortune lol . They just cant handle the abuse bigger bikes can. a 125 will also look a bit cooler in front of your mates

 

[warren]

I would not for £240. Probably find they don't cost much more new! But yeah as said get yourself a road legal scrambler like a DT125, cant imagine they cost too much these days! Then you can drive it places too

I have a 1980 Dr400 suzuki plenty of craic on it,just never owned a pit bike and always wanted 1 to put in back of car/van handy to scoot about on

They're the biggest load of balls, ok when your 14 but you'd be as well getting a 125 2 stroke. Pitbikes are cheap Chinese muck lol

I picked up a stomp cheap. A lot of care free craic for the money. Only thing it's needed is levers from coming off it lol and it gets a lot of abuse.

Yeah a 140 superstomp whatever that means lol. One of those things you pull out of the shed when you're bored and fills an afternoon rightly.

Prefer the stomp. Perfect way for putting an afternoon in.
