Aren't they illegal to use on the street?

[Black_Apalachi]

I personally think they're stupid because as soon as the bizzies see you, you're ******. But 115 quid?!?!?!?!?!?!?! EPIC! I say go for it if you'e got a nice bit of land :D.

[Eoin]

there great fun! Gettin a chase from the boabys through the schemes on one of these things give you a decent buzz.

[GoldenMerc]

Wierdly enuf you can get these legalized two kids in my college have monkey bikes with numberplates and insurance. i was like wow... didnt think it could happen!

[Ardemax]

yeah, if you're in a built up city there's no point, if you got some big fields by you, go for it

[syko2006]

You should buy a 110CC pit bike if anything.

They're too small, and too easy to break.

Nice for the price though. :)

[iAdam]

Not street legal, break easy, and so easy to fall off. But if you have the land, time and money to maintain and buy, then go for it. But I'd prefer a 125 track bike any day.

[iDenning]

I have land and Im not buying higher than 50CC yet as I dont want to spend too much, Ill be getting a propper one, legal, for my 16th next year :D

[iAdam]

Mini moto's are not worth the hassle tbh. if you're after bike experience, try and get on your land and borrow someones bike, because mini's handle nothing like a proper bike.

[shotter]

Theyre crap mate.
I had one, broke after a month.
Chinese built so obv its going to break.

It does like 30mph tops.

U mayaswell just get a nice 110cc pit
Or a yamaha raptor 250cc

Most mini moto's have crap reliability and don't really have any power. Also, what do you expect it to be built like for £115? If you are over the age of 14 then your going to need either a bike with 200cc or a quad with 300cc, you would get so bored otherwise.

[GoldenMerc]

a bike with 200cc or 300cc is way too much for a 15 year old. i can assure you

No it aint,
If the rider can control the bike then its fine.
There is no limit for any age, it depends on the rider.

[GoldenMerc]

cc matters so much, no 15 year old will be able to control a 300cc bike for their first bike lol. your having a laff

Should of said first bike in your first post. My first quad was a 110cc, got it when I was 12 and thought it was mega fast. After like a month or 2 I was fully use to it and driving it to the limit was effortless and didn't even feel that fast. When I was 13 I got a 250cc quad and again it felt reeeally fast. Now driving it to its limit is quite easy, it will do 50/60mph in a straight which does feel fast and does require quite a lot of effort and concentration. When you start moving up to quads that can do over 60 the top speed isn't what changes as you move up in power, it's the acceleration. I know for sure that if I got a 400cc it would feel lightening fast at first but as I get more and more use to it, it would start to feel slower. This is the same with cars, your first car will feel like it's the fastest thing on the streets but you move up the ladder. This is not to say that if I got a more powerful quad every year I would be able to handle a 1000cc racing quad when I am 18, you will reach a limit like driving a supercar for example (even though most people never manage to get use to driving a supercar fast) Just start above 100cc and move up 100cc - 200cc every time you get a new one.

A quad is different, its got 4 wheels its more stable

Yeh very true. Driving a quad or a bike is a skill. Push the brakes on a quad at a reasonably fast speed and it will most likely try turning sideways, or try cornering on a quad at a speed that isn't even that fast and it will tip/flip or go on 2 wheels if you don't know what you are doing. Bikes also require experience for pretty basic things which is why working your way up is very important. Like my older brother drives a (slightly older model) Yamaha R1, he has had it for a couple of months and wants something faster... :S
