How do they justify $169 shipping? I would get one if shipping wasn't outrageous.

you pay about $25 for the bike , $169 in shipping, $10 in ins. thats a little over $200 for a $25 bike. & it also states no local pick up! that's crap if you ask me. after reading the feed back parts are missing, broken, & screws strip out easy. it falls back to you get what you pay for.

I have one.Mine is a GRC with a polini motor has a top speed of around 55-60 mph and 6.2 hp.I actually didnt expect that to be much but it can wheelie with ease.

Keep in mind this isnt one of the pep boys POS bikes you see everywhere putting around.This one came from Italy and it is meant for competition,has disc brakes,aluminum welded frame,racing slicks.Looks just like a real crotch rocket.Cost was $2600.00

GRC is supposed to be the best,blata is ok but their bikes seem to be really small,there are others.Mine is air cooled and I really wanted a water cooled version,but they were out of them when I ordered.

Also keep in mind parts availability,those cheap ones you cant get replacement parts for,mine you can.Heck they even sell a nitrous kit for it for an additional 2-5 hp.i will probably buy the stroker motor instead that has 12hp and goes 85mph.

BTW FWIW those in your link are peices of crap.

I ride a honda CRF50. Its a honda, so its a quality bike. They just need a set of handle bars (I like Pro-Tapers) and pirelli slicks and theyre a pretty sweet pocket bike. They go about 35mph stock and they are very, very hard to break. The 50cc honda engine is a 35 year old design, totally reliable. Mine was $1100 new and I put a few hundred bucks worth or parts on it.
