Dirt Bike FAQ

Your Harley-Davidson mini 50 is somewhat collectable these days. It was made for H-D by Aermacchi of Italy. If you'll simply 'do a Google' on "Aermacchi", you'll find hundreds of links to clubs, message boards and enthusiasts for these Italian Harley-Davidsons. As far as value, search for "Aermacchi" in ebay, and track the selling prices of bikes similar to yours.

Better than the inane answer offering to rip your head off, eh?

Ok if you go on ebay and search under guides for dirt bike or 2 stroke vs 4 stroke, I just wrote an entire guide on buying bikes, you will probably find it helpfull.

But, if you are 5'1 and 140, a 250 4 stroke racing bike might be a bit too big, Im 6'1 and 150lbs and my 250f fits me pretty well, maby a tiny bit big but I have alot of riding under my belt. I'd say your best bet if you can afford it is a CRF150R (not the crf150F ). Dont bother with 2 strokes unless you cant afford a crf150r. If you cant go with a kx100 or a YZ85. I wouldnt suggest a 2 stroke 125 though because you aren't really heavy enough to keep much traction on the back tire when it kicks into the powerband.
So CRF150R or a KX100

I had the same problem with my suit, only the sweat was from me.

I know it's a pain, but if you can get any of the armor off and turn it inside-out that 's the best way. Then lay it flat on the ground. If you can get a big soft brush and a strong liquid detergent, that would be the best. Believe it or not, shampoo with a strong fragrance like herbal essence, also works.

Just use the brush and soap with some water until you scrubbed it real good, but be carefull not to rip the fabric lining (soft brush is important, and then rinse it like crazy, and let it dry for 24-48 hours.

Oh and if you can't get it turned inside out, submerge it in a big bucket with some soap, and bat it around some to get it all soapy, and let it soak for a day. Then rinse and dry the same way.

Hope it works for you

Ebay…

Ebay has it.

Ebay there is always someone parting out a bike. Or a cycle salvage yard. Most Go cart racers buy the carts with the engines or buy a new bike and sell the chassis and parts. They make carting engines Ive seen many on ebay and at carting shops.

You havent stated your age, height and weight,

i will assume you are an adult >>(involved with Harleys)

anyway if you want a good muck around bike with power and speed check out these models: the ones in brackets r road registable

Honda (Xr 250) > Crf 250 these are four strokes
Yamaha Yz250f > (Wr 250) these are 4 strokes

Honda Cr 125 Yamaha Yz 125 Kawa Kx 125 Suzuki Rm 125

These are the 2 stroke range if your starting out theres more than enuf speed and power in these to keep you satisfied,

These are all potential bike you will want to move up from after a while so i suggest buy an old model, still reliable and thousands cheaper

Check these up on ebay so you know what they are > the most common reliable

gd luck

Man, try your local dealer. Most dealers now a days understand that tires are going to be a loss leader item and use them to gain customers.

I sell tires at $10 over cost everyday, and can get anything you want THAT IS AVAILABLE (think about the resent Dunlop strike) in two days or less.

There is no point supporting another dealer or mail order company when you can keep your dollars in your area. Try it, you might be surprised!
