 I have my ycf daytona 190 built to a super mini 19x16 wheels, they come stock 17x14. Lots of opinions but its a blast on small to intermediate vet type mx tracks, i also run the 17x14 and 14x12 on it for the little tra ks that have wheel size restrictions. Like it so much i have 2, for friends others to ride with me. Ive had a built klx125, big bore kx100 forrks swing arm etc. Ycf is better in every respect for me, lighter faster. And yes not the same resale value, but when im done with riding i dont really care, im 60.

Very cool! I’d buy it if you ever did sell. Smile

 

Thats about what I’m looking for to chase my 6 yr old around on his ktm e5. He’s getting fast enough I’m having a really hard time keeping up on the stock Yamaha 110.

 I just got this thing. It's an EBox 2.0. I ordered it from the UK. It's electric so just on and go. It has different speed, and response controls. I also have a klx 110, it's the same height but lighter and slimmer. It's quicker that a 110 but slower in a long straight away. I'm not sure if anyone has seen these yet but they are well worth the money and a lot of fun.

I wish Buscadero would do a 190 Daytona version on 17/14 or even 19/16, it would be awesome... 

Get the old 1980 Husky look going.

I see a lot of klx140 and crf150f pit bikes, but has anyone tried turning a crf150r into a pit bike? Seems like throwing in stiffer springs and a taller seat would be all you’d need vs pouring thousands into a trail bike.

I mean you can… if you plan on ever entering any pitbike races, good luck. Only air cooled engines allowed.

I keep seeing more of those EBox bikes. Seems like a good play, especially if you're in the suburbs. No noise and ease of use.

I got an Ebox 2.0 last week.  All it needs are some taller bars.  It rips in the back yard and for only $1500 shipped it is a steal!

Who did you get your Ebox from ? They look like a great little pit bike. I get my YCFs from Wholesale cycles in Ohio but they don't carry the Ebox's

Trying to decide if I want to fully mod out my 110 or just run it as is?  I’m at 185 pounds right now.

 I have my ycf daytona 190 built to a super mini 19x16 wheels, they come stock 17x14. Lots of opinions but its a blast on small to intermediate vet type mx tracks, i also run the 17x14 and 14x12 on it for the little tra ks that have wheel size restrictions. Like it so much i have 2, for friends others to ride with me. Ive had a built klx125, big bore kx100 forrks swing arm etc. Ycf is better in every respect for me, lighter faster. And yes not the same resale value, but when im done with riding i dont really care, im 60.

Approx what is the cost on one of those?

KLX125 with KX100 big wheel conversion, KX front fender & number plate. Athena big bore, VM24 carb, pro circuit pipe and LT230 cam. Been looking for 2 years for a DR200 donner bike to swap engine but haven’t had any luck. Fun bike but don’t use it nearly enough IMG 8999.jpeg?VersionId=ah7hFAp2dS4V5jR

Got a YCF150 bigy and its been great, wanted a Daytona 190 but no one had them at the time but they are available now so looking to get one of those also. I have really been impressed with how well they run and hold up.  

The Daytona 190s are I think about $3400  and will be completive to race out of the crate. Do the 212cc kit and you will be flying. 

I was going to do a KLX140D but I would spend almost 4k and then still need to spend a couple grand to overbore it and mod it out just to get it to have some decent power but they are a solid bike to start with.

One bike is the stock engi forks with stiff springs by cannon racecraft and stock shock. The other bike i got stupid, crf150r forks, custom tripleclamp, stiff springs, and having a custom shock built. Both have the new long swingarm to five room for the 19x16 wheels. That is a must do. The stiff springs on the stock forks and a dnm shock is a reasonable cost/improvement. The other bike? Have not finished yet so cost/improvement is undetermined.

Thank you for the insight. I think I’m going to go ahead and buy one and get started. Start off stock and work from there. I’m 6’1 and about 235 so need something good size with suspension that’ll hold up. I like what you did with the larger wheels. My ttr 110 continually drags the pegs and isn’t fast enough to keep up with my son.

It’s a legit question, some of the competition are selling for up to $5,000.

I just read the max speed is only 31 mph.  With a 20 mile range battery.   Still a steal for $1500 if the parts hold up

Idk what bikes specifically you're referring too, but for 1500 it's a great bike. Let me know which one exactly you're comparing it too and I'll let you know what I think.

 Crf110’s are so much fun. They feel far less cramped than the klx’s. This one has exhaust, throttle body, intake, and tune and it’s perfect for what I want. If you want bigger I’d go crf125 so you still have fuel injection.
