New From Phoenix
 
I’m new here looking for a Ice Bear Champion or Amigo Rocky. Really want a CT70 but pricey. Had various bikes sence I was 14. I’m gonna be 70 this year and just can’t quit. Thanks for having me. Hope to learn a little more.

Welcome aboard! I grew up riding on a CT70. My cousin had two of them. One was manual and the other semi auto. My brother and I had a Mini bike with a 5HP B&S which was faster than the CT70. That really pissed my cousin off. lol

Welcome Kleiss1, make sure Jerry tells you that fast mini bike had a torque converter rather than a centrifugal clutch I’m betting!

I just sold a mini bike with a torque converter. I need some rear suspension to help my back.

It had a centrifugal clutch but no governor. There were two versions of the 5HP B&S engine. One was your typical 5hp engine with a governor that was used on lawn equipment (Gold engine) and then there was a version that was designed for high speed pumps with no governor and an aluminum flywheel. (White engine) :D That sucker was quick.

Mine had the Predator 224 from Harbor Freight.

Welcome aboard. I never had a mini-bike. I did start out with a Ducati Falcon 50, though.;)

Welcome. Go with the Ice Bear. The Rocky is overpriced and has poor build quality.
