Maz-- They have a longer wheelbase than any other 12 inch bike, and the way I have it set up, it handles like it's on rails.

As far as being for smaller riders-- it kind of is.... unless you get the tail for the bigger 17 inch wheeled bike. It's two inches longer. If you PM me with your home EM addy, I'll send you a pic of my race bike with the longer tail on it. It bolts right up like it belongs there. There are stiffer springs than what I have available for it too. I'm going to get them this winter.

If you look at where the engine mounts up-- there is a ton of room in there, the space frame is steel-- so it's an easy fab up. I had some NSR50's before, and I can assure you that these are the raciest chassis available with 12 inch wheels. I was hoping to get my hands on a GRC bike, but it looks like it isn't going to be available here in the States.

I love the bikes-- but I don't really need two of them as I rarely crash, and the one I'm racing has been stone reliable. The parts have been pretty available through Metrakit Canada, or Cycle Imports. Not only that-- but I've been leaning more in the pit bike direction than roadracing. --L*64
