Yeah , stickers .... My new commuter ... And yeah it's got a 2inch receiver trailer hitch on it already , just like my old Suzuki sx4 ... I really can't complain about 30mpg with trailer and bike ...

And they build Fantastic shocks to order and spec. too !

Now that I like !

If it is a 200 pro (forward kick) , I Think swing arm may slide right in , along with the motor . If it's a rear kick 200 , different everything ... But with the right skill set anything can be done , But why ???

Or find a Fantic .... , just kidding , couldn't resist

Quite the purpose built bike , But still , wheeling for a couple of hours nonstop ! More power to ya Dougie !!!

Phenom !!! plain and simple ... And his parents raised him right , He's a nice guy too !

I removed the intake silencer (top of stock airbox ) and used a portion of a old tore up K&N to shelter the now much larger airbox inlet . And the K&N made for the reflex ... And so far no carolina mud has made it all they way into the airbox , and it has been under water/mud .

All I learned about the C@sta , When I had my 97 section(which is a great bike !!) Was it was a section minus the plastic body work and a different fuel tank . As far as I found out , was supposed to be the 98 model , and the restyle came about as Fantic was collapsing .... Never heard of any one who actually saw one , besides the few photos that are out there , which look like a mocked up section . I had a guy building a aluminum tank/seat unit for mine , so I could have my own c@sta , but his time frame and $$$ demands got out of hand so I shelved the project and sold the bike to a friend right after Bill Pye came through with the correct coolant hoses for it and I put X-lites on ..It was a much more capable bike than I am rider , so I decided to stay with my trusty 240 pro ... Glenn And I'm pretty sure lee doesn't have one ....I think he does have a section or three ...

I heard standardized Bike ... TL 125's for all ... Stock shocks required . Level that field ! They are just having a issue finding stock ones , so a public plea is on the horizon .

Stupid is as stupid does ....

The neighbors just probably thought funny sounding chain saws today ... I've always fired up my bikes when houses on either side have been shown or sold .... buyer beware ! I've been here riding in my yard for 15 years !! and you ain't moving in and changing that !!! But I do have just over a acre and some woods ...

Fantic 240 .... or maybe a 300 ???

Rock on Zip !! I've still got some in my back yard on the ground about the same size ... May be the new homeowners problem .. . I want to move !!! Nice house too ... Where is the shop ?

And when we say fine sand paper , we mean 1000 grit or better ....

Except for maybe a banana peel or orange rind , If you pack it in , PACK IT OUT !!!

How long have you been using E Bay ???? Step one : Always read the DETAILS before pushing CONFIRM !!!!!!!!

Thats a good thing ... Shows were still alive !

Thank you sir ! just slipped off my tongue and out of my little brain ...

My mind went blank ..! duh ... Who actually made those hubs ?

Old School traction control ! no electronics needed ! works great in snow too .

If done correctly , Bike will pivot around rear axle ... and lift the front , hard to visualize yes , but does work. With practice , a little momentum and spot on timing and weighting , you can get front end lift in zero traction situations . And trying to practice the move when traction is available , Well that can hurt sometimes ....

I've got a Fantic trials bicycle (with wrong length cranks on it, to long ! ) And it kicks my a*** in about 5 minutes ....

I hope your referring to The forwardkick Fantic motors , as they did not build the rear kick models , had them built to their spec's though . I love the motor in my 240 ... And I've got a Sweet 300 motor sitting in a box , along with it's expansion chamber that I may try someday , but I've ridden a few 300 powered bikes and I still like the feel/performance of my 240 .... But to answer the question , on a scratch build , As Cope said "one you can get parts for " A yamaha 250 can be dialed in to anything you want , and alot less expensive to build than any Fantic motor . But stock out of the box , I don't think you can beat a forward kick Fantic in whatever displacement strikes your fancy , But I too believe bike and suspension set up is more important , If it doesn't hook up , You dab or crash !! Glenn And there is nothing wrong with a properly built/tuned Honda reflex/tlr 200 motor either ....

1972 Lotus Europa , John player special #040 , Dual Mikuni sidedrafts, (screw the webers!) , Balanced to the grain , 9500 rpm not a issue ...Trick cams and abit of port work , Water pumps couldn't take the abuse .
