damn both of those look sweet. they look like the same bike, just a few different small decals. not very pocket size though. are those more than 49cc? i wonder how much those cost, i'd love to have one of them.

btw most of the pocket ones on ebay say they can get up to 35/40mph

the last two will be $2000+ (thats a low estimate). They are bigger than a pocketbike and will top out at 50+mph. The bike in the 2nd pic is the new Honda NS100 and the 3rd on is known as a Honda Monkey

The pocketbikes that you buy from ebay are crap and wont go much faster than 25mph

It's so funny how everyone will want one until they see the price tag and it changes everything.

I think the NS100 has a MSRP of about $3500. The monkey's dont look anything near the repsol rep. one....you're looking at dropping $2-4k on upgrades to get it looking like that
