Anyone got pix of this type to stimulate some ideas? I got a decent idea of wut I want but how have u guys made zb so u can ride it to a trail and have fun? or even a surmoto type setup w/ both dirt and road in mind.

You could pretty much do that stock. I wouldn't take it off jumps or anything though.

PitRacerVince · 08-13-2009, 04:03 PM

if u knew me ud know ill jump anything so its gotts take me doin tricks on it then able to rip it home. I basically want something to sub for my mod crf50, so I can just leave the truck at home. or even just go hit some canyons which we got alot of here in socal.

In that case you'd probably be better off spending a little more $$$ up front and looking at one of the street legal KLX110s that's for sale right now, or convince Big Pete to sell you his plated CRF50.

The ZB is not a good off road bike.

True, it is heavy, very gutless and you will bend the fragile rear swingarm with ease.

no 110s for me Ill get a crf70 b4 that. but all those probs r things id address. im still gonna do it. show me some pix! and I actually plan to build a crf70 too, I just want to have a true dual sport that can b romped on.

nielspbr · 08-13-2009, 04:23 PM

A heavily modified skyteam pbr, or st90 as you call them.(zb copy)

They also build a version with a husaberg 470(!) engine in it.

mikev · 08-13-2009, 04:23 PM

The ZB won't be a true dual sport, and the only reason I mentioned the 110s is because there are a couple that are plated already for sale.

R3CKL3SS · 08-13-2009, 04:29 PM

Vince,
Have you ever ridden one? I love my ZB but it would be the last mini I could think of for what you want to do. HEAVY with a metal tank. First time one of your awesome tricks don't quite pan out and you will be rippin' home with a smashed tank. If you do go ahead, you will have on unique bike!

PitRacerVince · 08-14-2009, 04:23 PM

dont plan to rip it much at all just wanna b able to, and where i live there r alot of lil dirt roads I could use to save lots of time while getting around. not to mention they r beautiful and Im a dirtman at heart. I like the idea of a st. legal 50 and wut better way to do it for a pure dirt guy that likes a lil bit of old school and to b a lil unique?

r they much harder to wheelie then a crf? I would imagine the xtra weight just being harder to get up but a lil more stable. and how much heavier r they then my crf for example? isnt a crf like 105-109lbs or so?
