Question for dirt bike riders......

[Ponce]

Having trouble locating the lightest 350cc or 300cc dirt bike in the internet, remember that i am going to make it fly so that weight is very important.........the most power with least weight the better........crazy Ponce lol.

KTM 300EXC. 2-stroke, great build quality, and one of the rare 2-strokes to have electric start. my buddy in duluth has one, it's sweet. but they're pricey as hell for the 2-stroke class. also, i don't know if you can flat out buy them in the u.s., he brought his back with him from the army base in germany.

When I say "fly" I mean 5,ooo - 8,000 feet above ground.......maybe a one way trip, who knows.

[Ponce]

Here ya go Chad........but they look to heavy to me.

Hahahahahahaha, not really, but it would make me feel safer.

[mick silver]

your one crazy old fart

[Ponce]

Well amigo, I live to live and not to die.......but if I die it is then time to go.

Many are so worried about the next life that they never really enjoy the one that they have now.

Look into "trials" bikes like gasgas, montesa,onza, kawasaki. etc.

They are going to be a fair amount lighter than any trail or motorcross bike on the market.

[mick silver]

ponce just flop your arms up and down and let us all know if you can fly

[Ponce]

Ximmy, you are in the ball park but still no Cubab ciggar hahahahahahah.

Mick? been doing that all my life but still need more practice.

The KTM 300 cc 2 stroke is a serious off road racing bike. Ponce would probably kill himself riding it. Best to go with something milder....

What about an off-road Vespa? That's milder.

THANKS EE but that's a flying tricycle and not a flying motorcycle......by the time that you removed two items, from what I have in mind, mine would look like a regular dirt bike.

Thanks Lady, already have one at 231 lbs, five lbs more than that one.

Ponce, if you trained mice to fly it, you probably wouldn't have the weight issues. ;D
