Pocket Bikes

I bought a pocket bike! Damn these things are fun! they go up to 40mph w/ optional motor upgrades and all the decals and stuff. Its like having a mini ricer cycle, but damns its fun for the weekends. Best of all its affordable! I got mine for $500 with all the basic options. You all should get one! Anyways just wanted to share w/ you all.

She's not a "S" Mines the naked varient

I love my bike, it handles just as well as any sport bike, but its nice and comfortable. Plus it makes it peak torque at around 2k and goes straight to redline. V-Twins rock. I'd recommend it as anyones first bike, or anyone who's looking for affordable fun.

I just picked up the completely redesigned 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600. This bike is the ****. I had previously owned a 2002 Honda CBR 600 F4i. The GSX-R makes the F4i look like ****. This is by far the best overall 600 I have ever ridden. I recommend this bike to anyone. First time riders or veterans.

Yeah, the 600's are fun, but are kinda hard on the **** after a bit, try a Honda VFR800. That is compfy on the bum bum all day long, and with the upgrades I got, I can keep with the others easiy. V-4 Engine sounds better too, with 110 ponies - wheee!

^^^^i'm only 5'3 and i ride. i just balance on one foot on my tip toes. then hop around for the gears and/or brake. great bike to do this with is the honda f4i i think anyways. you can always shave the seats and make it narrower. this helps a little bit but if u want u can always get dog bones to lower the bike an inch. that wont make a difference with handeling unless your going knee down!

Lots of those pocket bikes in the pits on race days when the big crews are out.
