My minibikes
hi!
I'm proud to present my ex mini bike, a honda dax st copy. It's a skyteam dax with 125cc loncin motor. It's street legal in my country. First modification: progun exhaust, yoshimitsu rear shock and michelin tires. Version II Two black and chrome wheels 3.00 x 10 with pirelli tires and some goodies! Third version and the last before it's sold. NHRC exhaust, trailbike CDI and 3.5 L tank gasoline. I drove almost 10.000 km with it in four years! Soon, i'll post my new mini bike! |

Boy that looks like fun. It's great it's street legal also. How fast does it go? Is it good on gas?

What do you suppose it weighs?
That's exactly the sort of bike I've had in mind to carry in the back of my plane for ground transportation.

Wow!
That bike looks like great fun. They are hard to find as street legal in Canada, but they exist. It's much easier to start with a Honda here. I've wanted to build one of those for awhile.

It weights 176 pounds maxi and it's a two places seat.
It has removable handlebar is ideal for car transport or a plane maybe! |

That's heavier than ideal but it would work. I love that you can even carry a passenger on it!
I'm always on the lookout for a cheat CT70 with a bad engine to buy and replace the motor with a 125cc Chinese unit. I could even paint it to match the plane. That would be fun!

not cheap around here. The Honda's are real collector's items.

Our local trading post is on the radio....people call in selling items...I have been hearing a lady with a 72 honda trail 90...for $450.....been thinking about calling to check on it. Maybe cleaning it up and selling it....there is rumors that a local guy has multiple Trail 90's and 70's behind his house ....
but not for sale...popular bikes at one time. |

I'd jump on a Trail 90 for that price, if it was titled.
