Buddy of mine was over a few days ago and had his eye on a camera I'm trying to sell for $300.

He said he didn't have the cash...and the conversation changed to this or that, and eventually ended up at dirtbikes. He told me he had a yamoto atv that he bought for a few hundred bucks from a friend, the friend needed money to pay a speeding ticket.

I offered to trade the camera for the ATV, he got a huge smile and agreed. I picked up the bike today.

It is a 107cc motor, crf50/knockoff pitbike style. It has electric start.

The crazy thing is that it has shaft drive, no chain! I'd like to either hop the 107 up with a high comp piston and some goodies or drop it out alltogether and put a gpx or big head 125 lifan in there. We'll see.

Should be a fun project

Looks like this:

i'll get some pics in a day or two. It's like 10 degrees outside and I froze my ass off unloading it from my truck.

I don't have any ramps, and my buddy just rolled it from his truck to mine.

I have always thought about why not try and build one of those to the amount of the 50s. Make a little long travel suspension kit and put a bigger motor in it would be a blast. I would build one of those in a second for my wife.
