Here are important questions to consider when building or buying for yourself or others
A wise person learns from the mistakes of others.
1) level ground, partial hills, and dirt sounds like fun! i live by the beach but doubt I'd get to useunless i can really silence the sound of the engine
2) I'm 5'10" 145lbs soccer player so i have some good physique
3) noted and will def get on that. live in california so im sure i will have a lot of reading to do :sigh:
4) a whizzer bike would be awesome, but realistically beach cruiser. they are in abundance here in orange county.
5) around towns, at least a 10 mile stint. i am going to stay away from racing. i want something that will be able to do streets at a good amount of speed.
6) well i have about an 500ish initial buy and more money to build onto in the later mths. i do not mind saving up for it and waiting.
side notes, i am leaning towards a 2 stroke essentially, but i am willing to do a 4 stroke. depends on my options and research. i don't know where to get it but i want an engine that is more or less, fully operational out of the box, pref not from china, i have read about some people mentioning their "Chinese" engine and its high maintenance. don't get me wrong i would not mind the maintenance, but i believe that it would get laborious after a while. i am impulsive but i know that i must do the research on this one to
try to get it right the first time.
do you have any forums post that i should read that you recommend. i have read a few but there is a lot to take in. or any searches i should do within this site.
something that just popped into my head, not sure but do they make wankel rotary engines for bikes.
thats all i cant think of for now thanks for the insight
