Always thought they were cool, just thinking about getting one, any tips or things to look out for?

Done abit or research, alot of copies or blata ones or something, anybody know anything else?

cheers, pete

 

Got one saturday

I got mine off e-bay, proper Blata Lucky strike mini moto

Im 6"3, and i can get on it with ease, now learning to get my knee down

and fuel costs are astronomical!!!

So far 6 hours use = Ł4 fuel

 

BTW, blata ones are Ł600 new special offer, normally Ł350 second hand on e-bay

The copies are slightly bigger, and at only Ł250 or Ł300 new, you get what you pay for

 

yeah thought so, been offered a copy for Ł275 second hand, copy one though, seen a few on e-bay, ducati rep and repsol honda proper blata ones though look well smart.

think ill put a bid down, how much should i pay for one, 2nd hand one? the ones on there at the mo have done 4 hours max!

Funnily enough I have a Blata for sale!!! R1 colours. Quality on Blata's is good compared to the cheaper ones (discs back an front + quick engine). To get better you need to spend big bucks for a proper racing one.

They're great fun - car parks and stuff, although you have to be quite limber if you are 6 foot plus to ride them - they are as fast as you'd want them to be and no hassle. Scares me more than my old ZX6R does. 30 mph feels like 160 mph when you have no suspension and you are a foot off the ground!! They draw a crowd wherever you ride them!!!

Selling mine because of lack of time (baby due August). Already sold my petrol R/c car and they are loads more fun than those.

I paid Ł750 a year ago but you can get them new for Ł600 now. Mines for sale for Ł250. Never fallen off it, and it's had about 4 tanks of fuel though it (that's less than a gallon).

Your better gettin one thats done a bit of running (coz they need running in)

BLATA ones on e-bay i personally would pay up to Ł400, because they are the nuts!

They have a max weight of about 17st (which im heavier)

One tip - Punture repair kit! get one

The blata one has one type of fairing, with about 15 designs, repsol - lucky strike - chesterfield - telifonica movistar - r1 - ducati red - ducati yellow - camel etc..

And if you look thru e-bay at the cheaper ones, delivery dates are july/aug!!

 

there you go peteh!

BTW 3doorpete, if he passes up such a bargain, let me know, want another for a mate

 

lol, i was only talking bout getting one of these today as well!,

Can you mod em?, how hard is it to get more power!, wouldnt mind a 2nd hand one and gonna get it resprayed same colour as me car!

3doorpete, i'd be interested too matey!

 

You can buy a kit consisting of air filter (k&n stlyee) bigger jet and a taller rear sprocket Ł50

 

wahey there's a result! bet marky mark and his funky bunch have got there first though

 

peteh, i'll PM you any links etc.. i find

they also do a 70cc replacement engine in Belguim too

 

Thought about selling it on e-bay but can't be arsed posting it, that price means you have to collect it - honestly - it is mint (keep all my vehicles mint) and it lives in my games room on the paddock stand!! E-bay ones second hand I've seen go for between Ł300 and Ł350.

Don't know how to upload piccies to PF, so if you want some PM me.

There's loads of tuning bits for them, but I kept mine standard as a) its fun as it is, b) they're quite loud and with a pipe, they are really loud. You use them in supermarket carparks on Sundays and stuff, and if they are too loud, the old bill might turn up, and can't be bothered with that

 

eh?, funky bunch? explain urself boy!

Nah, i'll wait in line!, you and tillo first!

 

Doublepost

 

I can get mini motos if anyone is interested - my mate imports them

pm me for more details

 

do you not remeber marky kark and the funky bunch in the 80's my sis loved them, it was just abit of a joke mate, no offence intented.

 

Hope this works - my first picture post!!!

 

Well - what do you know - it worked - here are the others.....









PeteH has first refusal all, but if anyone else is interested PM me, and I'll reply if PeteH doesn't want it.!!

 

the above bike is now for sale due to me having a back of a 80 year old
