This is the perfect bike for the squid who has know idea about riding.

$1500 for a stroked and balanced crank..................really. Mine cost $250.

Is it a 112 or 109? Parts list says 112, stickers and post topic says 109. 109 = stroked 100 no boring, 112 = bore and stroke. Bike says 109 but lists a cylinder bore cost.

Love the decal works stickers saying 2013 109.



2006 supermini is about $2500 to $3000.

This guys prices are so over-valued its pethetic. $48 for the specs for jetting, you can get them free from the pro-circuit website and jets are about 5 bucks.

List the graphics costs 3 different times and most of the $18000 grand is LABOR.

@oc That KTM looks pretty trick too, but I agree about the graphics. I wonder who this guy is and who his kid and/or rider is? The KTM clutch cover says AMA CHAMP with a big #1 on it. As for the Honda in the Decal Works shop, that bike is saweeet! I love the gold rims on the Hondas.

@MotoX85 I didn't really read into the details about the bike, but I agree about it being pricey. Like I said, I was just browsing around looking at some 125s and this popped up, thought it was worth a look. Seems like there's always a few guys at the track with the sickest bikes but no idea how to ride. I hate seeing parents push their kids into any sport because it's what the parent wants and the kid just does it to satisfy his parents and not for the love of the sport. Hard to be successful if you don't love what you're doing, and in the end, the kids quits because he doesn't love it and often times his parents are disappointed, so it's a lose lose for everyone involved.

Locking a bike to a stand is not enough. Someone needs to weld the stand to the floor to protect that beauty!

Well his ebay name is kenkaplancomputers, so Ken Kaplan. Anyone know a mini rider w/ that last name?

I live about 20 minutes from him. Never heard of him or his kid riding wise. Have heard of his store Kaplan computers though. If your halfway decent riding around here your pretty well known. Never seen him or his kid at one of our very few (3) local tracks. I think I remember seeing something about the shop building that bike quite awhile ago. The prices are inflated bigtime. I got the impression in the beginning he did that work, then there are labor charges. The forks also have 3 different suspension companies stickers on them throughout the pics. I bet it didn't cost what he's asking to actually build it.

Just found his kid, he raced the beginner class last year, and didn't do so well in that...

He claims they spent 80k on racing last year, I guess mini parents are nuts!

Nice bikes, beyond overpriced and his price lists are screwed up. Some parts had labor prices 2 times for it. Who pinstripes a swing arm? He seems a bit full of himself in the listings and video's.

Looks like he wasted a bunch of money on the supermini with all the powder coating, wheel sets and general bling that has zero value in a used bike. His price list is rediculous, 20 hours of labor to split a case? I can pull the engine, tear it down, install new bearings and crank, and put it all back together in less than 3 hours on a kx100. The big hint that it is ridden in the beginner class are the red #1 plates, nobody else would do that. It's a decent looking bike, but it is worth $3500 or so.

LOL Thats the truth. My son was saying one day that a local kid had it made because he had a huge toy hauler,8 new bikes and everything else you need to be "the top guy"
A local vet pro overheard him and told him that , No matter how much money his dad has,he cant buy your talent.

That might be the case with this guy.

The family sounds like rich weekend warriors to me...nothing wrong with that. Some have talent and no money...some have money and no talent....some have both...some have neither. I won't fault anyone for spending money in this industry, and doing what they love.

Not to knock that guys kx109 but there's know way that bike is that much but this one yes AC112!

from transworldmx

In the world of amateur motocross, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo is the next big thing. With support from Pro Circuit equal to that of the professional racers, AC is on the path to success at a very young age. We recently got the chance to photograph his Supermini KX112 and quickly learned that it’s as close to a factory racer as a mini bike rider can get. AC is currently making the transition to a KX125, but he still competes in the Supermini class. Last week, Adam won the Supermini and 125cc Two-Stroke Mod Championships at Oak Hill in Texas. Check out the photos below, though, for an inside look at his very impressive KX112.



Cianciarulo's Supermini KX112 is as close to a factory machine as you can get in the amateur ranks. The bike has kit suspension on it, a fully modified motor, and countless aftermarket accesseries.





The wheels on Adam's bike aren't stock and built to withstand the punishment that a top mini racer exerts on the equipment like Adam does.




As is the case with the shock on Adam's bike, the forks are Pro Circuit kit forks and provide much more adjustability than stock. The forks also have all the same coatings as the forks on the bikes of the professional PC race team.


The rear shock is basically a miniature works shock similar to that found on the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki machines. This shock provides much more adjustability than stock with high and low speed compression and rebound adjustability.






The motor is built by Mitch Payton to produce a ton of power. The 112cc machine also has a 450cc radiator on it to help with keeping the motor cool.

I know who the guy is that has that Supermini posted on Craigs......not at all surpirsed to see the price.
He is one of those guys that likes everyone to know how much he is spending on everything.
Nothing wrong with spending your oney on moto toys

As someone already pointed out though you can spend all day on bike parts.....can't buy talent.

And yeah he is smoking something good if he thinks that bike is worth $8K....lmao.
$4,000 tops.

We made all those custom covers for his KTM as per his specific designs and sketches along with all the other billet items we produce.
Below are some pics of our race bikes for Jordan Bailey and Brock Papi:





We are also in the process of building 2 supermini bikes for Challen Tennant that i will post pics up to show what a real KTM supermini race bike is suppose to look like!

Don't know this KTM guy, don't even care, but those KTMs pictured make Ciancurulo's bike look like an antiquated hunk of shit. Yea, Payton built it, yea, Adam is fast, I gotcha. But the Kawasaki mini is an early 90s design. Give KTM some credit, I suppose.

Looks...hmmm.Whistling

Ours had twin chamber forks like big bike, custom shock body with a gazillion adjustments and 2mm larger shock shaft.

Had a TDC 2 Stroke Performance motor I'd have put up against anybody, all stroke std bore to 112cc.

Talent? Enough to have fun be safe and not embarrass himself with the national kids.

the 60 video was not his kid....

nema series is far from nesc in these parts too.

people can spend all the money they want, but don't lie about it to try to sell something from people. The bike looks cool, but it isn't practical to ride a museum piece.

Hating?,,, What a dick head comment. I was just saying that Some people spend tons of money on Motocross so they can be the best but they dont realize that no its not how much you spend that makes you (or your kid) a good rider.
Trust me I dont hate on any kid because everybody has to start out as a beginer. I would be willing to bet money that I help more local kids then you do. I'm the last guy that you will be negative to any kid.

That is a very nice bike, but ONE of the reasons that the top oh lets say top 20 LLs kids that build high $$$ bikes,run new ones and dont just build a sick bike and refresh it, is contingency only allows bikes no older than 2 years and that $$$ help especially when it double contingency. nice bike but if I feel my boy can run up front that money for winning one those races he was talking about, Helps big time

Umm, I believe you are confused. The CR60 vid is with Carson Brown, son of Dwayne Brown of BBR Motorsports, builders of ONE OFF bikes, not bolt together bikes like that 105.Anyone with enough money can build a replica of that bike, but BBR builds works of art.
