works great for a pit bike, great for the wife to learn to ride, and ride around fields, semi agressive dirt roads and the likes. not something you could take her out on the trails with a crew on by any means.
I'm just pointing this stuff out so you're not dilusionable about what you'll be able to do with it.
Buy it.
Put some blue groove tires on it and take it to flat track if you grow bored with it.

There are Mini motard races in NH at Sugarhill Speedway in Weare, NH. There was also a group of guys running at some R/C car track in NH last year.
I'd still say the guys are right though, an XR100 is an underpowered toilet with few performace parts and all the tracks in New England limit Mini-motards to a 12" rear wheel. The XR/CRF70 with the horizontal cylinder will take some of the Asian performance parts so some guys do race the Honda 70's if they find one real cheap.
Buy a true 125 pitbike. There was on on the NH craigslist last week. Lookup outlaw powersports SSR125D.
I also vote that you should get it. Offer $600 and take $700.
Speaking from experience: I have an XR80R that I only bought to screw around on or let other family members ride (they're not touching the full fairing sportbike). It fits the bill great, I ride year-round, it's small, and by far, one of the most fun bikes you can ever get.
Besides, if you do get serious about racing something, why even get any of the half-ass bikes people mentioned above? By then you should be getting a serious motard, and selling the XR. Why is this favorable? They hold their value well and you can probably get $600 for it 5 years from now.
If it is still available I think I am gonna get it.
I think in Vermont I can street it as well. At least I can try. :)
And I am gonna put this stuff on it.
Cr80 forks shortened and revalved. They started life as 98 cr80 forks and have been completely redone. The original valving was trashed and the internals machined down to fit 20mm valves compression and rebound. The forks were designed to duplicate an inverted road race fork whos internals have been race prepped. The equivalent of putting GSXR forks on your mini. All machining was professionally done.
Lower Cr80 clamp with custom stem to fit the xr/crf head with an aluminum aftermarket top clamp. The top clamp has mounts to fit fatty bars. The stem was custom machined to match the xr/crf head and be pressed in to the cr80 clamp. It has Tag metals fatty bars with black moose bark busters. Comes with black cr80 fender(cut down) and white cr80 number plate.
Cr80 hub laced to an exel polished aluminum 17”x 2.5” dimpless rim with Buchanan heavy duty stainless spokes. Brand new EBC contour brake rotor and Michelin pilot race tire.
Cr80 master cylinder and caliper with shorter than stock stainless braided brake line. Brand new EBC race pads.
Everything above. Can be bolted directly up to your xr/crf 80 or 100 with out any custom work needed. All pieces that needed to be modified were custom machined.
Rear wheel. 03 xr100 hub laced to an exel polished aluminum 17” x 2.5” dimpless rim with Buchanan heavy duty stainless spokes.
and a Works shock sprung to accommodate an 180 pound rider.
:D
get this one instead for probably 500 or 600.
spring is here time to RIDE RIDE RIDE
You're going to start racing and have the money to buy all those parts you listed? Can i have a job?
Hey thanks for that! Newer and cheaper!!!
Yes the new Army job is SWEET! No more money troubles.
Going off to war really helps the bank account as well. :D
Got it! 2003 XR100r.
Actually not a nice as I thought it would be but heck you get what you pay for and It shouldn't be that difficult to clean up. :P
Thanks for all the great advice guys. I really do appreciate it.
A xr or crf 50 would have been too small.
this thread is worthless without pics!
I'll work on it. :)
hey - glad to hear you got that thing, sorry I didn't call you back, I was away all weekend. :(Quote:

While this bike isn't enough for most, I think you won't be disappointed.
My pit bike (GRC GP 49cc) has double the HP than that bike. SEE Avatar or whatever it is called.
is this your bike or is it the one your getting parts off of?Quote:
