Safety of the 212cc motorbike kits?
How safe are those 212cc kits that you can mount on a bike? I a have been thinking about getting a cheapie mountain bike with rear suspension. Brace the hell out of it, then go put dirt bike parts on it.... (Triple tree, real breaks, rims, tires, etc, etc) I don't see me being able to get a hawk (or any bike) anytime soon. (As in the next year) So if anyone can state how well those things can hold up with time, or has anyone made one of these kits?
Sincerely, John Doe

The only reason to build one of these is for the fun of it. You dont really save any money. Ive got well over $2000 into my 200cc bike. Its fun but I would have been better off with a china bike.

Yeah I have also however thought about ditching the kit all together and picking my own parts, parts that I couldn't just put on a hawk....

Ya I dont do kits. I design all my bikes my self. If your thinking about fabing one of these start thinking about jack shafts and gear ratios.

Years ago I build 5 of the 80cc (actually 66cc) engine kit bikes. They worked OK but I don't consider them safe. Bicycles are not made to go that fast. Three of my friends crashed, one seriously injured. Switched to reviving old Honda Cub type bikes, mostly Trail 90s, with new Lifan engines. Much safer.
