Latest 50 racing practice

It's insanely fun. All the fun you have at track days, multiply that by 100. There is no fear to do something retarded or make a stupid pass on these. You can wreck the snot out of them and pick it up and do it again with only minimal cosmetic scratches. Getting hurt is not real common in a wreck. You can run 120% every lap. They are so much cheaper than track days and big bikes. Speeds are fast for these little bikes. My only negative is I don't get to do it enough.

Are you running mini-motard tires or just let the knobs get worn down enough to "lean" it?

And what kinda $$$ and mods do you have put into one to get to handle like such?

I assume tires, tall bars/seat/shock?

I run 10" scooter slicks

You can get one built on planetminis.com for about $1000, or you can get a new chinese for around the same price, but I like running a honda because that's the series that's the most fun here.

If you go from stock, you need an engine kit (88cc is what I have), bars, seat, shock, harder fork legs/springs/delrin bushings to get a good base. I also got an inner rotor, disc brakes, manual clutch.
