PW 50 but goes like stink

Advantages: Fast, Great for all ages, low cost to maintain
Disadvantages: My 6 year old son scares me on it

...Yamalube 2-S or Yamaha oil 2T or air cooler 2-S engine oil Air filter: Wet type element Feul: Type: Regular unleaded petrol Tank compacity: 2.0L (0.44Imp gal) If you fill the tank to full it will last for ages around 15hrs riding time also this bike almost uses no oil at all.

...once a year costing around £55. Even I love riding this bike although I do think that it is a bit fast for my children (over protective mother thing). All of my 3 children ride this bike and have never hurt themselves because we are very hot on the fact that if they do not wear the protective clothing they can't ride. I know that you can buy cheaper imports of this style of bike however I would advise buying a british model my sister has a foriegn ...

YZ80- The way I see it

Advantages: vary fast, great suspention
Disadvantages: small tires, and a hard seat

This is a vary fast, vary light weight race ready bike. These bikes are produced for the sole intention of racing. I bought my bike new in 2001, and I cannot beleve the top end power this little bike produces. They are a vary popular bike, witch means all the aftermarket companys have options for this bike. It doesn't matter if you are looking for a pipe, new graphics, or even a good aftermarket piston, they're all available. One thing that I would ...

I have seen a lot of people go out and get there kid one of these types of bikes because the kids have friends that have them, or because they see people like Ricky Carmichael riding race bikes. Too many times this doesn't work out. Best case senario, the kid scares him/her self to bad to get back on the bike, and the parent is out all the money. ...

YZ 426F Moto X Grin!!

Advantages: Power and ride ability
Disadvantages: weight

My YZ 426 F Was just fun all the way brought second hand for a good price and in near mint condition it gave me 2 years mechinical trouble free racing joy. The four stroke engine was a bit fierce to begin with but with a bit of tweeking (weighted fly wheel) it smoothed out a treat. Comming from a two stroke back ground I found this bike gave me a real easy ride. It has so much low end grunt i could put it in third gear for most tracks and only ...
...of times a lap. It handled all terreins better than i could, but it really shone when the ground was so boggy most two stroke riders were getting stuck this little beauty just pulled through it. Down side was the bike was better than me I couldnt ride it to its full potential but enjoyed every second of it all the same. ...
