I had mine sold but so far no $$$. Let me check with him to see if he still wants it. Like they say............cash talks.

Thanks for all the input guys.  Can't decided between a scooter and dirt bike type.  I really am pulling towards a 70/85/125cc dirt bike.  I'd like to be able to have some fun in the yard too, as well as use it at the track.

What are your thoughts on Orion Pit Bikes.  They seem to be OK, but any experiences?  Looks like the "fake" or replica type bikes are a couple hundred less than the reputables (yamaha, honda, etc).  Your experiences.  I've read some of the "get the real thing", but has anyone really had bad experiences with the fakes, or is it just hearsay for now?

Got the word, mine is sold....sorry.

You need to think about the license part. A lot of tracks only allow licensed vehicles sa pit bikes. Hate to see you buy something and then not be able to use it fior its intended purpose.

What do you mean licensed (please clarify)?  You can't license a 50cc yamaha can you?  But I see them everywhere.

Thanks for the heads up.

Must be registered and have a plate. Yes, you can license a 50cc scooter. In WI it's a moped plate.

Thanks.  So basically, you're just saying to register whatever it is I get.  Any list of tracks that require registered vehicles?
