Default POCKET BIKE (BIKES) PRICE OPINIONS FACTS GENERAL INFO. HELP, THANKS

Hey, everytime I go to a show I see people riding around on these mini-crotch rockets. I have heard them called a few names but the most popular seems to be pocket bike. Can someone tell me about them? After seeing a few I want one baaaad, but am curious as to the reliability, cost of maintenance, cost and availability to replacement parts and modifications. If anyone has some pictures and prices, that would be real nice.

Just by chance, is anyone selling one? If I go through and buy one, it will probably be used. Thanks

They go for about $500-$1000. Go to your local Honda motorcycle or any other cycle shop they shoud have them ine there. I had one but rid of it.

erik, when i was workin' at tri-city motorcycles, they had one there. i believe that i was called a Honda NR50 or something like that. it's like a mini crotch rocket. they actually have racing leagues for them and you can do engine swaps to make 'em faster. a bunch of people put 80cc two-stroke engine's in them and they said they'll haul a$$. but, can i ask what the dump are u gonna do w/ one? cruise main on it? lol

Those little pocket bikes are dope! I've seen them for sale at around $500 or so online. http://bikemovies.com/ had some pretty dope videos of pocket bikes before. I havent checked them out lately though.

well most people call the 47 cc pocket bikes crotch rocket cause they look really small. i bought a super pocket bike so i dont look really dumb on them (49cc). so if u wanna get a pocket make sure u get a 49cc bike and higher.
