They friggin fly matey... Good little bikes, and cheap! :D I rode one about 8 years ago in Melbourne at a trade day, very quick and on par with CR/KX/RM 80 performance...They didn't sell well as the 50cc motor was a drawback to most ( not given the advantage of riding in the shop sense) and accordingly there are only a few dealers around... Used to be one in Ringwood and I think S.A. Dirt Bikes still is...
CR 85 engines are supposed to be a good swap and the bike used to be available with 100/125 motor as option...
