i am looking to buy a 50 what should i buy?

i am looking to spend $1000 or less and it will just be used to run around the yard and do some stunting in some parking lots. i have been looking at some crf 50 with 88cc kits and stuff but i see some aftermarket bike that com with disk brake and better suspinsion and a 125 motor form the factory for the same price. i would like to hear oppinions about all the bikes and see what you guys have. thanks alot andy

Look for one that is all stock frame and I wouldn't get one with a bore kit until you are used to a regular engine.

why? i have had a lot of motorcycles and atv and dirt bikes just not a 50 and i figured since i am buying one i would go ahead and buy one that is set up. does the engine make that big of a difference?

Wow. That's actually a good find 1000$-1200$ maybe. Usually easier to ask how much they want for it...

Re: i am looking to buy a 50 what should i buy?

sorry to thread jack but this may help you too. why do i want a 50 if you can buy a kawasaki 65 which is only slighty bigger than a stock 50 and about the same size as a 50 once you put the bigger forks on and new shock. plus the 65 has a clutch, disc brakes, its a two stroke and the suspension is already pimp, and it has decent bars too.

Not really sure how that helps him but two strokes suck for stunting. Do a wheelie, hit powerband and see what happens

If you plan on stunting stick with the crf50 and not the chinese pos things that look all hooked up.

dont get the 110 or 125, chinese bikes look great and break down very often. i definitely would go with something with a clutch maybe a ttr125, thatd be great! and to jerbs, i own an rm125, they are great for stunting, you just to learn to stay in the powerband at all times, they weigh less than 4 strokes and are cheaper, and are much less maintainence

you cans stunt anything with a back brake. you dont need more power for a 50. step up on sprockets if you are worried about not enough power. start for the bottom caz 50 arent like anything else ie atv and dirt bike. . . .they WILL **** you up
