Okay, I started my whole love for minibikes on a baja mini baja, and now i'm on a doodlebug with my built predator. Anyways, i want to build up my old one but truth be told, I'm broke. I really want a v twin but they are pretty expensive for what i'm going for, any suggestions? Thanks

Hi my friend is looking for a mini bike, preferably without an engine in the Fairfield, CT area. His budget is around $175 but he will budge. Anything helps as he is trying to join us and our love for mini bikes. Thanks!

Ok thanks a bunch, I'll update you and tell you if I get it right

It takes a true idiotic kid like me :laugh:

thanks Okay thanks, but I want your opinion. Instead of fixing it, should I just buy a Predator 212? its new, its 1.5 more horsepower and I actually know how to work on it ha! I think I'll just buy a Predator. But what do you think?

Hello, I'm new here. But I recently obtained a 5HP Briggs and Stratton that I'm pretty sure runs (My dad said he started it before but I couldn't get it to start). I also purchased a used Baja Doodle Bug (Old Frame) that runs fine. But, I'm a big kid and the 2.8HP engine isn't fast enough for...
