Could someone please tell me by just this photo what type of bike this is. I was told its a 50cc Pocket Bike.

Thanks for any advice!

[g®eg]

sure looks like one

I'm having a hard time finding information on these online? What kind of specs would I be lookin at if this is a 50cc? How many different 50cc pocket bikes out there? Sorry my questions are dumb but I'm about to buy this bike.

If you want to talk to someone that owns one and races one send a PM to R7.

I *BELIEVE* pocket bikes are rated by HP, not CC displacent...

[R7]

it's a pocketbike, minimoto is the "official" word for them tho. It's hard to tell what brand it is by that picture, it has GRC lines in the body and if i didn't notice only 2 bolt holes in the seat, i'd almost guarantee it was a GRC GP racing, but my GRC GP has 4 bolt holes in the seat. Do you have a side view of it?

pocketbikes and more and more

Most name brand pocketbikes are polini powered and if i remember correctly, there is a stamp on the side of the engine that indicates the various models.
I "think" this is how it goes...
#316 is 39cc 3 port cylinder up to 7.5hp (liquid cooled)
#316A is 39cc 5 port cylinder 9.5-12hp (liquid cooled)
#316B is 50cc, 12 hp

Again, this is if it's a good named brand bike (which it looks to be) and is polini powered.

Mine is 316A and is a 5 port 39cc with 9.5hp

sorry i don't have a side view the only other view I have is this one of the front. And wow! thanks for all the replies and links to finding more info!

[R7]

where are you buying it from and what are they telling you it is? if they're not going to give you anymore details than you've posted here, i'd stay away from it

[Jdub07]

Says it was bought from ricardo sports? never heard of them.

[R7]

I found some info on what "looks" to be the same bike you're looking at, not worth prolly more than $3-400

Not sure if you have to be a member or login to see the pictures? A good named brand 50cc pocketbike used will cost $2k+, new $3k+

Sweet thanks for the info! I paid $300 so I feel alright about it. Any mods I can do to make it better?

[R7]

There may be some mods out there for it but i doubt it'll make a huge difference, it's powered with a industrial based engine (weedwacker) and there's only so much you can do with it.


You can also try pocketbike planet for more info, tho i don't think these guys like those bikes to much

[Jdub07]

Here is a side view if anyone call give me more info on it from this view that would be great. I want to know if I can get better suspension, air filter/box and exhaust?
