The problem with kids buying new modern bikes, is they do not learn much from owning them. When you build a bike from scratch, you learn a lot. The bike you build does not have to be the fastest on the planet. For some time now, I have been mucking around making bits for a frame for the Chinese pit bike motors which are based on the Honda CT110 motor. They are so susceptible too development, it is a joke. You can buy 6 speed gearboxes, 4 valve DOHC heads - stuff which when I was a kid, I could only dream about.In the 1950s, the 125cc race class contained the MV Agusta Bialbero. What you could build now would be faster and possibly better. Life is about having fun.[MEDIA=youtube]D2k-K3_0d1s[/MEDIA]
