Hey guys how is it goin? I had a question. I am in the market for a pocketbike because me and some of my friends are looking to start racing these little things here locally on Sundays if we can find a good lot that will give us permission to do so. But on that note what brands are good? I am looking at the following I can get this bike with the "performance package for around $350-400. http://www.minipocketrockets.com/rsr-mini-bike/ Anyone with any info or ideas or help me lead to a good dealer please let me know. Also anyone in my general area have any pocketbikes. Cause the more the marrier for when we start racing on Sundays.

Go with Blata or Polini.

The link you posted is for the China made pocket bikes and they are the biggest pieces of shit I've ever turned a wrench on.

where in indiana do you live.i live in louisville, if your close id be interested in buying one and racing. me and some friends had them once and raced in a warehouse.

Yea those cheapys are not the way to go... If your really looking to race them you want to go with a Blata mini moto. Blata is the dealer and biek to lok at it. Those china brands for 400$ have just a weed whacker motor on it with cheap parts. Once they break there done. I would look at Blata forsure if your serious about racing these. If your loooking to have fun and destroy one then go with the rsr

Give frank at http://www.gianniniracing.com/ a call.

thanks guys I will give Frank a call. I am a college student so price is a little bit of an issue damn tuition fees. But I do understand you pay for what you get with quality. Looking to race for fun is what I am trying to achieve. And I live in Muncie/Anderson area. But have family all over Indiana. So I travel a lot around these parts.

Yeah, skip the Chinese junk. I bought a used Loncin mini to try my hand at mini supermoto racing. So far I regret it. The rear hub cracked, and I'm about to replace that. The kick starter is also acting up.

If I like the minimoto racing, I'll get the real deal so I can run in their spec class.
