Best thing was i'm only 5ft 4" and i looked pretty damn good on it everybody else has long legs.

All the lads of course had there knees on the floor!!

Great fun to watch and ride though.

If your gonna get one don't buy one of the cheap shitty £300 ones you see on the markets, get a Blata mini-moto if you get one there expensive but they go like toad off a shovel. My mate bought a cheap one, and from a few sessions it fell to bits and blew up in week. :shock:

i was gonna get my lad one for xmas but decided not to as they are recommended for 14 years upwards and i think at 7 he would hurt himself seriously.

Yeah, kids that age only know full throttle. I remember me bro drove an old moped of mine up our garden once, and he kept going up the yard and then BANG! Into the back of the house he went, luckily he didnt go through the back window.

Incidentally me mate has just swapped his crashed ZX6 for two minimotos, then got another one for christmas the lucky git.

I've got one actually...only cost me £150 from a mate who imports them....they are a hell of a lot of fun but they are also far more likely to injure yourself if you fall off because you don't just slide, you roll....with the bike....and that hurts- a mate at work broke his leg that way!

i fixed my mates one the other day after he tried to get it started with 2 year old petrol/oil mix the carb was in a fairly bad state to say the least...Striped the carb down and it was so cheap and nasty it was unleaveable still after 12mins of carb cleaner, new petrol and bolting it back togeather it runs good as new. Pit bikes are 10x the fun tho.

bought mine from new and its never been run, sat in my shed for 12 months or so, had it fired up a couple of times but it just died as soon as u gave it any throttle, been stood a while now so will no doubt be gummed up.

they get boring really quickly, we used to race each other round a carpark ect but soon gets boring. The more of you there is the more fun it is tho.

semi drunk mini moto dodgems is a masive +1 as well :D

did someone mention drunken minimoto riding? Down a muddy french single track road with no protective gear on. With a 6'4" rider? With the engine running on vegetable oil because noone had any 2T oil?

Actually I at least had jeans and bike boots on. Plus I didn't crash it. Unlike one of my mates who managed to get into a terminal tankslapper at about 3mph in shorts and flip flops and take a couple of big chunks out of his leg. D'oh.
