    Not a minibike...but an interesting go kart

    I know...not a minibike. But damn, this is cool. I just have no idea what it is and would like to find out. Looks Honda Odyssey-ish but that body is different. Looks old school. Any ideas? Regards

    What is this 1969 "Simko" snowmobile minibike thing?

    It's not really a minibike...but it has a 5hp Briggs on it so maybe it's close enought to be ok? Haha. That and I figure this place is my best shot at ID'ing it. So, they say it's called a Simko. I've never seen anything like it before. But it's way cool. Someone said it could be a...

    Really cool British minibikes from World War II

    I stumbled across this on youtube and thought it was really cool. They are known as the Welbike made by Excelsior Motor Company. They dropped these things out of airplanes with some of the airborne divisions! So damn cool if you ask me... News Film from 1943...

    What is the difference between a Briggs 3hp and a "sport 3"?

    What makes them a sport model? Mine also has a Turbo Torque crank extension and clutch on it. I cannot find any information on it.

    Needed: Straight Forks

    My forks are bent on my Bird Wren. If I try to fix them, I know I'll just screw them up more. So, I need some new forks. I don't care if they are original or not. And if someone had some sprung forks, that would be cool too. Either way, let me know what you have and price shipped to 01543...

    Can I do anything with a Sport 3?

    Well, to be honest, I dont know whats available for this motor. Seems like everything thats out there for Briggs motors are for "Raptors". If there is stuff available for this I may build it up but it seems like there isnt anything...not even cams. Plan: Its going in a small bird frame (see...

    Can I do anything with a Sport 3?

    Found this Briggs Sport 3 on craigslist and the price seemed fair to me so I went and checked it out. Fired right up and ran quiet so I bought it. I had no intension of modifying it but if I can get a few more hamsters out of it i'd be pretty siked. Anything I can do to hot it up?

    Another what is it and is it worth it

    ohh yeah, forgot to update this. And forgot to take pics when I went to look at it. Fail and fail. That said, it was very interesting...and does not look like a custom job. Because if it is, whoever built it is one seriously good welder and must be into engineering because everything looks...

    Straightening non-sprung forks?

    So I picked up a new bike and the forks are a bit tweaked. One handle bar is pointed in more and there is a slight bend in the down tubes. Is there a good way of correcting this? Or is correcting it called new forks? Input = appreciated! Thanks

    Another what is it and is it worth it

    anyone else have any input? I'm actually unsure if the back of the frame is square after a couple of my friends disagreed and said its a round frame tube. Maybe im blind. But another thing is that the swingarm looks well done as well as the jackshaft. It's actually looking more and more...

    yamaha 80 year?

    Looks like my old 1977 MX80 except mine was yellow. I honestly do not know though. Thats an aftermarket pipe on it though. That in itself is a pretty rare find.

    Another what is it and is it worth it

    I'm looking for my next minibike project and this seems cool. Thought it was a rupp roadster or a black widow but in the picture, it looks like the rear frame tube is square. It is full suspension which is what im looking for but it looks rough. And to me, the asking price is a bit steep...
