Run good fuels and you shouldn't have to go through the hassle. Non Ethanol (most important) Race Avgas Thirty days should not be a problem.

Looks too nice to strip parts off for weight savings, but if you are not riding the highway.........?

Nice choice of scooter. A bud of mine goes to Taiwan often and says there is a lively community of urban trials. If you have an area to ride, you will surely draw spectators and eventually someone will approach you wanting to get into these bikes as well. Its up to you if you let them test ride your bike. Good Luck.

Sucks that the kicker hits the frame, from the bottom photo it looks like it would clear. Is it just barely rubbing the frame, or worse? If it is just touching, I'd be tempted to indent the frame at the wear spot with a sledgehammer and large drift pin.

Prices are cheap enough to offset shipping.

Fame and Money are big motivators. I have been in much more precarious situations in the course of my normal jobs without the crowd cheering and for less money.

There you go! Orange and Green.

Beta USA has been quite extremely good to me. Almost makes me want to throw money their way.

Honda is getting pressure from ktm's development of di. Less weight and more power than the 4t. This is a 2015 Honda patent DI

I think when honda perfects direct injection then they will bring back 2t motors. Their '4t only' kick is to lesson pollution.

Take the jug to your favorite machinist, find your max overbore,and wrist pin size. Call Mahle Forged Pistons and order your custom pistons and rings. Depending on the size of the bore, they may have the piston sitting on the shelf from other applications. The end result will be all bore and no stroke change which results in better bottem performance.

Might try a repair yourself. 3M 5200 Polyurathane glue can be bought at marine hardware stores, comes in white or black. Spread the glue, clamp, and wait a week. It will dry and be like rubber, very plyable. Just dont get the glue on anything you dont want glued!!! I have found that 5200 can be used to repair sidewall punctures in tires too. They also make a 5200 Fast Cure but the original is better if you have the time.

That might not buff out. Glad you're ok. Last time I had a bike look like that, it came with a broke collarbone.

i apoligize for what might have seemed like a flippant response to the situation, knowing brexit means different outcomes to different folks. The UK is a small place in the scheme of things, with few areas to ride offroad vehicles and most of these stolen bikes seem to dissapear to never be seen again. The suggestion of Lojack, where a Company looks for the item of theft, may be the only reliable course of action.

Get rid of the EU, Obviously the stolen rigs are being carted across the border.

Honda Z50M is 50 yrs old. I'm 56. No z50 when i was six.:(

Good choice on the ride. I grew up in L.A. ( Ft.Rucker-Enterprise) Also ride Huskys, WR 144-167uptite.

I'm shocked.

Nice looking rig Rolf.

They may survive, but they haven't won.

1 part 110 leaded Race to 4 parts 100LL Avgas is my perferred blend. Does Montesa require Unleaded?

How does the MAP work without a computor anyway? Retard/Advance ignition?

serious question On a RHD auto, is the gas pedal on the right or left? I'm a Devils Child (lefty), and to me a left hand throttle would be weird. On the other hand, (no pun intended) the left side kicker on Betas is just what the doctor ordered.

50cc's, Training wheels, and Plate armor. It's the only way to be sure.

Very nice. First scratch will be a bummer.
