Hello Guys,

I am kinda intrested in motorcycles, but as I am a teenager I cant hold more than 50cc :) . Scooters are nice, but I like motorcycles better. Maybe someone know any chineese Motorcycle-type moped? More intrested in street type bikes(superbikes) and enduro.Cross-bikes sucks :D

EDIT: Would be better if that bike will have MANUAL transmision :)

A bloke on here is selling 50cc bikes but he's in the UK. I'm guessing you are in the USA from your terminology? It might pay to add which country you live in in your profile, so you can be directed to a dealer in your country.

Otherwise, Brucie's Boikes do a noice little Bing Bang BB50zz for 600 pretend Ozzie dollahs. They're in Woomera. Carriage will cost $700,000USD. :wink:

If you did not realize it.....there was not a location when I posted. The previous post by the op was edited to include it after I made my comment. Without a doubt the education system here in the USA is getting bad and has been doing so for many years. It is by design. The last I checked we were #17 in the world for education. The numbers are not so great considering there are 66 countries. It is by design. If they make people less educated and provide more and more govt programs then the people will become dependent on the govt for everything.
I did go to Naval Nuclear Power School and was an Electrical Nuclear Operator for almost 12 years. I have never been to college and I make between $90,000 and $100,000 each year. In fact, last year it was $97,000 and the year before that was $103,000. So.....for not having an education I guess I am doing pretty well for myself. I beat the educated college people by about $40,000 every year. I think it is working smart and not working hard that pays off.

I don't know how you get courage riding a 50cc motorcycle.. It would be slow and you'd have to change gears about every 10 km/h of acceleration.

A slow scooter doesn't look funny, but a slow motorcycle does :mrgreen:

malaria1212 · Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:31 am lol

The GTR is a new breed unto itself. It came out in late 05 I believe. It's the 1st roadworthy motorcycle/scooter hybrid of it's kind. I've always wanted one, but they are a bit high priced. Although I'm staring to believe it's worth the xtra few bucks. I see a bunch of the 05s still kicking about and still in good shape. So I know they'll last a good while. With a water cooled motor and the 17"tires, the GTR50 can top out around 50-55mph, while the GTR150 damn near 70mph.

I have a kinroad xt50-18! (ignore me if you don't want my humble opinion)
It's not a hybrid thingy, but a sportsbike-shaped 50cc.

I've been riding it for a while now and I've had no problems with it at all (touch wood)

I got her with a few hundred kms but the guy I got it from had it imported for £714.

it's a big, chunky bike, and the frame and suspension are pretty robust.
that said, it is a bit heavy and this makes steep hills difficult, but you can learn to 'read the slope' and change down accordingly. (it has 4 manual gears)

unfortunately it has a rev limiter but it'll do an indicated 35mph if you thrash it.

kinroad also does this chassis with 125 and 200cc engines, and I think that they can be up-engined with some minor modifications to the frame, electronics and drivetrain.

I wass waiting for that kind reply :)
Ii wanted to hear about that kinroad...
Isn't kinroad metal poor? One guy in this forum said, that his kinroad is broken, broken and again broken, and that repeats allmost every 100 km's :D
