Hack, that's pretty much what I was thinking, the KLX125 is a bit heavy for my little girl, especailly on the peaked doubles that she rolls. No problem on the tables or singles. She rips pretty good on our X4. Having more dirt bikes then family members has already got me in trouble

I'm sure this new pitser will perform very well....

Nice! Good job,looks great!Need any testers,Gary?lol

Pitviking · 11-24-2008, 06:15 PM

Wandell · 11-24-2008, 06:31 PM

That bike is sweet!! What's the price gonna be?

slater · 11-24-2008, 07:00 PM

I agree, I think larger shrouds and rear fender would fix that problem though...

The bikes will have the air filter on them and air box will be shipped a few weeks after due to the time it takes to finish the molds for the box. So basicaly you get both for the same price!!!

lowbike1 · 11-24-2008, 10:11 PM

its a really nice looking bike, do you guys have plans on going bigger? like a 250 -450? or are you sticking with "Minis"?

We have 250cc we will be offering very soon as well. More of a entry type trail / enduro / Super Motard bike. The 250cc was designed by a friend of mine, and we share some of the same suppliers and factories, we will be his distributor in the USA and will be co-branding it s a Pitster Pro model. A 450cc is in the works as well for next yr. I will have stock of the 250cc in Late Dec, and post pics and specs ASAP.
All the new models will be on the Pitsterpro - Quality Pit Bikes, Mini Bikes, Pit Bike Parts & Accessories site after Thanksgiving. Dealers are welcome on all the new models!!

Yes my first batch will not have the airbox mold finished in time, so we will send them all out a few weeks later.
The price will include the pod style and the new airbox and filter.

post up pics of the 14/14 motard setup. Also, what/where are you going to get tires for that.

cobra427 · 11-25-2008, 03:33 PM

Gary, will these be suspended for adults looking for a more comfortable bike to play on or actually for the 90-120lb crowd? I've been waiting for something to come out that will weigh less than my trick ttr 125, be better suspended, have a more aggressive motor and parts backing to boot. For the amount of money it would take to get a small wheel ttr to match the overall permormance of the LXR 160R makes this bike great value. And speaking of value, any price figures yet?

Gary, if the 450 is going to be an attempt to compete with YZ450Rs, etc, let me know. I know there are a couple import units out there that are trying already, but have a ways to go. I'd be game to hammer on one as a crazy GP Mono build.

I think Innova has a some. They had some sweet slicks at the Indy show last year but I'm not sure if these are the tires he is going to be running.

boonacka · 11-26-2008, 07:50 AM

14" motard tires are rare. only decent ones i know of are the micheline sports. decent for the street.

The 250 is more of a trail version, the 450 will more then likely a trail version as well.

I all ready have a klx125 with the 85 forks, shock, bbk, not quite as trick as Hacks, but pretty nice. I was hoping to replace with this new 17/14 for my duaghter, should be quite a bit lighter. maybe you can tweak it mid year/next year for the complete package.

you 14/12 is sweet and what you and NCC are doing for making the 110 a 65 killer derserves lots of respect. I,m sure the 14/17 will perform great, just seems a bit incomplete....

still kickng my 07 x4, having a blast, even with blown forks, need to upgrade soon

Larry

My niece will be running one in the woman class next year(lighter srings), she ran a modded 12/14 x4 this year against 85s 125s 150s 250s and 450s and finished 3rd for the championships, I think this would fit the bill perfect.

I think I will also see about getting my son Rayce to ride one in the 7-11 85cc class as well as his MXR110r in the 65 class.
