My buddy after high school bought a go cart with a 450 HONDA MOTOR CYCLE ENGINE on it , he had me trouble shoot it ( all axle sprocket bolts SHEARED IN 1/2 ! ) I came over , put in all GRADE 8 BOLTS , did some tuning and test drove it , i RODE A WHEELIE THROUGH FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ! all GRADE 8 BOLTS SHEARED IN 1/2 ! 2 TIMES ! i fixed it a Third time , told him to "sell it " !
I've always wanted a minibike as a kid. It never happened. I was however, lucky enough to have friends that did own minibikes. Ha Back when times were so much more less complicated.
so whats stoppin ya now????? get your arse in the garage and start building . you only live once, might as well make it something to remember right???? growing up is optional growing old is mandatory. live like theres no tomorrow.
Kenny B same here.. I never had one as a kid growing up (wait that's a lie.. but after the first day my brother came over caught it on fire and it burned up.. and I got whooped for it, cause my brother dipped right afterwards) but anywho I bought 3 now I have 2 kids boy and girl.. we just started this year.. I also bought 4 engines that we are all together going to be building as a family.. it's never to late to bring out the kid in all of us.. but to experience now with my children its priceless.. much love.
I'm disabled and bored so I'm buying a welder soon to make my own balanced frames for racing applications and leisure time cruisers. I recently moved to the #WestSide of Detroit and with the mini bike traffic I see around here, I'm sure to make a dent in the sales of machines out here real soon. This video,( and others ) only confirm what I told my Wife. Yep, it's lookin' like I'll have something to do this coming year in 2021 for sure, so look for some choppers to hit the scene soon on the #WestSide of the 313 and remember to watch out for pot holes out there everyone, 'cause road rash #SuxAss ! ~ 12 Block Tokie ~ Detroit, Michigan
Thank you for your support and inspiration to our city (Detroit) and the overall minibike culture and community!! Contact me if you would like to do business in the future. Thank you.
you should make some videos of you making frames and filling them out. it would help boost some hype around them and possibly be making commissioned work. plus throw in some smoking to keep the fans real with ya.
Yall ever bring em to StL? I don't build, but I know there's a couple builders in the city. They cruise thru StL and traffic. Alot of drag builds. Great job and bout to go check out more! Keep on keeping on!!!!
Thats was pretty cool. Even tho it looked like dude in the tshirt was in front of the line a lil and gave himself a scoot, the blue dude still looked like he won. Awesome yall!!!
That is some serious budget racing! Best of all, you can (most of the time) find a cop-less area to run these things. I doubt the money is as big as street racing in cars, but it seems like these have far less commitment. Way to go figuring out ways to taking the ubiquitous minibikes to levels like this!
Same thing always happened to me and my friends 50 years ago. I would be having a good time riding my 1969 Honda 50 Mini Trail, the cops would show up and run us off.
i remember as a kid and racing minibikes at the Saddleback Motorcycle Park in Santiago Canyon, Southern California. I was sponsored and raced for " The Hawk " Racing Team. I rode a modified Zebra Mini Bike, with a 6 horse Techumshe motor punched out with a mikuni 26 carburetor running nitro methane using a torque convertor putting 12 horse to the rear wheel. I was clocked at speeds in access of 60 to 70 miles per hour. Those were the day's.
I love this stuff man I'm 50 and had mini bikes like this but no where near as fast. I would like to see the city sponsor some kinda weekend events or relax laws in areas to let it be more of a outlaw gathering.
@@briannotafan3368 In the mid. 70's my cousin took a 32 horse power sachs snowmobile engine and converter assembly and put it on a standard go cart , it topped out at 110 M.P.H. ! AND he raced and BEAT every muscle car from the 60's and 70's AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ! All you'd hear is the scream of the 32 h.p. then the howl of a 4 barrel , 6 barrel or 2 - 4 barrels way behind him !
Thank you my friend, Detroits car and bike scene treats people like family. It’s the Motor city and we welcome everyone that shows respect to our culture!
Extremely impressed with a number of your fast bikes ! I am paralyzed from my shoulders down, and interested in building an old school mini-bike ! Would any of you be willing to help me with my project !? Thank you !
Very cool 😎, I see this as racing in it’s truest sense 👍 It is amazing how they get the speed they do out of these little beasts! ….sorry I’m so late for the party.
Early 70's we built a mini bike from hell. Lol. We took a stolen Kawasaki S-1 three cylinder 250 cc two stroke engine and mounted it in an old Cushman scooter frame. A little fab work and some poor welding and that thing would fly. You sat way down low like an old school chopper. Screaming 250 cc between your legs and your ass about 3 inches off the pavement. It was scarey fun. It would do about 70 mph with those fat Cushman tires.
I had a mini bike with a 8horse Tecumseh snow blower engine on it...I had to ride a passenger on the front to keep from wherlstanding all the time ...I went through clutches like chewing gum!
If y'all look close enough there's no chain guides on all these bikes that's hella sketchy but scarry but so cool all in one if ya wanna loose body parts if chain snapped
That looks fun. I remember when i was kid had a CYCLOPS i think thats the name my pa would tie a sting to the govenor thing it would fly not like that though
I am sure these would perform better with a torque converter instead of a centrifugal clutch you would not have to push off and the clutch would not strain
Best of all mini bikes, scooters, mo-peds and go-karts all share the same running gear more or less. With compatibility of performance parts that is easy to build in from the start. Custom variators and centrifual clutch's shared between scooters, karts etc.
WRONG ! decades ago on my mini bike i learned ( first hand ) that a " clutch " is best for acceleration / racing and a " torque converter " is best for hauling more than 1 person / climbing hills .
Yeah for sure they're trying to see what your boyz putting on their bikes with My and tell me something some kind of love pop up card to buy besides the hubby lost in the air filter
In 1977 I put a 230 cc Villiers 2 stroke engine into a Bonanza minibike, 80 mph+, it was INSANELY FUN!!!

Hey how did that work out for you sir did you sell any frames ?
you should make some videos of you making frames and filling them out. it would help boost some hype around them and possibly be making commissioned work. plus throw in some smoking to keep the fans real with ya.
@@souleater307 Guess he never went with it. Sounded like he was down with it. Be good for everyone into that kinda thing.
@@johnmcaleese8459 I also wanted to see this I would even drive my mini bike across country to have my motor swap with a predator 420cc.
Nice. Good racing that doesn't break the bank.
I had a 1970 FOX with a 4 HP Tecumseh stock- what a blast! I was 7
Those little bikes are badass!
It's nice to see people having fun and those are fast and wtf that was good clean fun . Thanks for sharing .
They need a channel on TV I’d watch this show more on the bikes . This is something most people can get into. More of this for sure
they did but the person who created the channel passed away, I use to watch their videos all the time.
the cop should have drove up in a go-kart
Booger Eater lol
Lol
LOL ima play the cops
Or a mini cop bike
If only the world was that cool 😂
Them boyz in the detroit don't play around win it comes mini bikes 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yall ever bring em to StL? I don't build, but I know there's a couple builders in the city. They cruise thru StL and traffic. Alot of drag builds. Great job and bout to go check out more! Keep on keeping on!!!!
I stared in Envy the whole time. TIME TO GET A MINI BIKE YEAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Not criminals, just a bunch of guys having a good time. I hope the cop didn't bust them.
Thats was pretty cool. Even tho it looked like dude in the tshirt was in front of the line a lil and gave himself a scoot, the blue dude still looked like he won. Awesome yall!!!
Yeah, dude in the t shirt jumped fo sho!!!

Respect ✊
should tighten that loose chain, it'd be faster
and allot better
and a chain cover dont want your arm to be cut off by a broken chain.
word up ppl laugh when i tell them that so ill wait just so i can say see stupid?
any tips on home-made (temporary) chain-tensioners? I've seen it done with a skateboard wheel..
No it will snap the chain if tightened from the power
So cool, they kinda resemble what we had in the late 60's, but way faster.
I've been riding my mini bike 220CC around my area starting to meet other riders hope to do this one day
I got a 150cc but it’s broken 😂
Dispatch: We have a report of people having fun and the caller wants it to come to a stop.
PIG: I'm on it.

Sounds legit. I put 15 to the real wheel of my ct200r with a TAV 30 and stock gears to run 40-50 mph.
You guys are not too far away from me. Kool!

How do you know what they got
Looks like a good time!
We love your bikes. see our Builder Prepared engines, close course competition
Extremely impressed with a number of your fast bikes !
I am paralyzed from my shoulders down, and interested in building an old school mini-bike !
Would any of you be willing to help me with my project !?
Thank you !
Nice!! I built one at 14. Fun times!
This has inspired me to build one !!
How cool im working on my own custom mini bike this very moment .

Looks like a fun time to me
Sick ... We Are Starting This In SanDiego
This is awesome
Very cool 😎, I see this as racing in it’s truest sense 👍
It is amazing how they get the speed they do out of these little beasts! ….sorry I’m so late for the party.
do they ever go to the thunderdrome races? it's a racetrack in Detroit for mopeds, bikes, and minibikes only
I will post videos at the thunderdome as well! We took third place racing that year we raced!
@@CBRacing365 bro you kinda late
Your are right, I'm going to get better with responding to all of you great viewers.
Last two just kilt me...
what a blast!
We had them in Det , 1968 I was 10
Well damn that cop should have brought out his motorcycle 🛵🛵👨🏾✈️🏍️
That chain is giving me an anxiety attack!!🤣
Perfect setting for a shooting.
Install an idler on that flapping chain!
Now that’s some fun right there 👍

Cop- "Why aren't you all at home watching tv like good little consumers?"
Very Kool 😎
I can't believe how fast those things are
I had a mini bike with a 8horse Tecumseh snow blower engine on it...I had to ride a passenger on the front to keep from wherlstanding all the time ...I went through clutches like chewing gum!
Racing clutch 😎💪
that is sick...i don't know what kind of gears you have on there...but it goes pretty fast
Dude with the shorts had a headstart and still lost
If y'all look close enough there's no chain guides on all these bikes that's hella sketchy but scarry but so cool all in one if ya wanna loose body parts if chain snapped
That nigga said unbelievable right when that cop pulled up 😂😆😂
All these dudes just hanging out having fun and the cops gotta ruin it! People could do things way more harmful then riding mini Bikes!
Yeah until they hit someone’s kid and kills them
Thanks
if i was the cop i would have keept on rollin by...
THIS IS GREAT!\
Ok this is the good side of youtube
That looks fun. I remember when i was kid had a CYCLOPS i think thats the name my pa would tie a sting to the govenor thing it would fly not like that though
any insight on where to buy those type of clutches
Can’t wait till my bike is done almost there
Good old times
Nice i had a Cat 5hp in 73..
They look like those russian bears in the circus that ride the little bicycles
You guys are not far from me!!
Pretty fast actually lmao i mean its funny looking but fast.
Dead on bro! Well... 196 but same shit depending on if they bore or not
Damn that Pontiac tho
One guy racing with blue jeans and no helmet, the other guy racing with a helmet and shorts. I guess safety is top priority.
Any idea on where I can get a double sided pinion for a cateye pocket bike, kind of like the one shown at around 1:44?
nice
Awe the fun killers showed up...
Harry!! Harry!!
The guy on the longer one notice how he is so low to the ground one rock and he’s done for😂
hahaha thats fucking *awesome* !! :D

What kinda clutch is that on that orange mini bike at about 2:20?
How are they making these so quick. What are they?
What gear set up did the orange bike have
What kind motors do these have on them??
I see these in my neighborhood redfern
I have no idea how they are getting this horsepower. Cams, high compression and nitro?
Welcome to the hood
honda gx200 196cc and predator 212cc
NEVER touch a chain with the engine running.
I have a predator engine on my boys mini bikes and it still hauls ass fun but dangerous still old school G fun (F the pigs)
Yeah for sure they're trying to see what your boyz putting on their bikes with My and tell me something some kind of love pop up card to buy besides the hubby lost in the air filter
Wow
Party's over 😂
This makes my 3hp homemade look like a fucking snail lol
Homie ain't trying to hear that noise. He like his chain like he he likes his women. Nice and loose.
why the jack shaft?
so fast that he need to push it to take off.
power to the ratio of weight
I just bought my first one, and I'm 49. 🤣🤣🤣
cbracing365 would you be able to tell me if you guys still have these races?
