I cant comment enough on how impressive this mini is. I would post pics but everyone has seen ibmikes and mine looks the same today. I'll post pics in a few weeks after the powder coating and customizing is complete. For the members who are in line and waiting, just be patient because it will be worth the wate. 'I'll be bringing it to O-DUB and ACE this weekend so come check it out.

I will have the rims on by Tuesday. The numbers have been ordered, but Decal Works says they won't have the template done until sometime this week. Hopefully by Friday they will be here. I'd post pics, but I just don't know how. If it looks cool enough, maybe I'll email them to 50chik or pancakes to help me post.

By the way, I mean it when I say ride it.
Spelling is not my strong suit, so thank god for spell check when dealing with my clients. I know there is a spell check here, but I'm not writting a letter to Islesworth or some other fancy place I deal with. I don't see the need for LAMO....WTF, give me a break! My grammer on that post comes from having a three year old tugging on me to play legos with him. I'm trying to decide if I am going to buy one. Surfex said my bike couldn't hold this bikes old oil, but said he didn't like the bike because of the cockpit, pegs to high, the bike felt too skinny and overall just too small. If the motor rips, I guess I'll just have to ride it and see. I talked to crower cams(not sure of the spelling surfex) and he said he could get at least 20hp once he tests a few larger cams, so maybe I should wait. Even if I get 20, I will still have at least 40 pounds on the 150r. Once the after market parts start showing up, I know the motor will be amazing for it's size. I have someone who would buy my bike for $3,000, even though I have close to $7,000 in it. I can afford to spend another 3,500 on a new bike and this would cover some new springs and such. How are the stock tires? It's a tuff decision.

pit bike = a bike you ride in the pits == not your race bike ==

150cc 4stk -- = best pit bike ever for adults

your spelling??? i don't care how you spell. i was laughing at the extra P in sniper. a simple keystroke slip.

it was the slip of calling him snipper , not how you spelled anything.

i liked the bike... would just need some bigger things on there to make it more comfortable(bars,pegs).

just keep your bike and ride with your buds.... you have to ride the R with the 2 strokes at ace.

and if you were to go that route , might as well get a 250 .

Dave,

Believe me brother, we are not laughing at your spelling. I must say though, every time I read the extra r in there, I chuckle. I see snipper and think of the doctor that did my vasectomy. Don't change a thing!

The bike hauls ass, but is cramped. Toward the end of the night it started to feel a little better, but it will still need a taller seat foam, bigger bars and eventually someone will need to come out with a taller and off set triple clamp. It will be bearable then.

This thing is still very new, and only a few people have them. As they become more available and start showing up in mass at ACE, things will either change, or a bunch of us will be riding them with the 2 strokes. I say whatever. I don't care if I am chasing some kid on a kick and go around the track, I just want to ride.

BBR already has an exhaust and springs in production for the 150R. As for motor performance, it is not necessary right now. I have the luxury of having 3 150F's. So, getting rid of one to get the 150R is easy for me. Now, if I had to get rid of MY 150F with the mods in it.......that would be a tough decision. I think you need to ride it and then decide. If you are going riding at all this week, pm me and I'll get the 150R to you so you can take it and see for yourself. Then decide.

no biggie. I didn't have a good night last night. I think the crash last friday really did something to my knee, sharp pains from just shifting. I guess I'm back to the mri room again. That was my first real crash, not just laying it down in the corner. I've only been able to ride a few times since my shoulder and last night it felt great, but I bet I really did something to my knee. I think I'm going to take a couple of weeks off. I got two free snowboard trips comming up and I want to be able to have fun.

Friday night I will be out with mine. It should be sporting the black rims and hopefully the numbers will be in by then. If you want to put around on it just to get a feel for the power, that would be fine. If you want to wait, that's cool too. If you just want to see one in action, take a trip to OWC today. Dagner is out there today with his. They are having a big function out there. Should be pretty cool.

will o-dub allow the 150Rs?? they don't allow 2 strokes except for the 50s. so are they gonna let them ride there?? it doesn't matter to me , just wondering?


that bike is too much for odub anyway. i don't think you'd get it out of first gear. heh.

Gardner says they are allowing it. I just got a track side report from OWC. There are at least 2 of them out there riding today.

I hear a lot of people saying it's not a pit bike. What I am not hearing is people saying it is. I think we ALL agree, it is NOT a pit bike!!!!

Now, lets move on. Our track that is referred to above is 1.2 miles long. Check it out at www.acemotoxpark.com

By the way, it's not a mini either.

I think I will buy a 150R to rip around the pits between my 150F motos. I don't care if they line up on the gate next to me at the next race, and until we all start riding the 150 F at it's max what's the difference? I hope the next time I get an A-Ron Sandersonning in the first turn the joker is on an R so he knows he just hit "The Mountain"

I heard Todd won the point series on a pretty stock bike so unless they make a bunch more straight aways..........

BTW I canceled mine today after riding one at PAX yesterday.

People are getting crazy on here. This how i really feel about it and anyone who doesn't agree, I challenge to a 15 lap race at owc or ace. ha.

Is it a minibike, yes. I have been racing a long time and anything in the 50, 65, and 85 classes in regular motocross would be considered a minibike. And this bike is going to take over the 85 class. 125 thru 520 is a big bike. Is it a pitbike, no not really. A 50 and 110 are for sure. 125ttr's and what not might make it in. Should bigger older guys over 15 be able to ride it at our local pitbike tracks, yeah why not. We have a 16" class, you have a 16" wheel then you should be able to ride it. We all want to ride and have fun, there is no reason they shouldn't let it out there. Will this bike be the end of Chris Kasavages 16" class dominance. No way.

I may have to buy one myself for the kids and race it in the vet class! Anyway, enjoy the bikes guys and everyone else just leave the "it's not a pitbike!" alone. No one is claiming it is and no one cares. It's just a kick ass bike.
thank you!!!!
