Got an MZ125SM that is a blast, but just picked up a new Chinese 200cc enduro for ridiculously cheap.
Anyone got one of these? Anyone tried to convert one yet?
The engine is supposed to be a CRF clone, originally 150cc but now they are 200cc. Bike is built cheap, no if ands or buts. (non adjustable rear shock, not even preload!) but set up pretty stiff to begin with.
I think it would be a hoot to mount up a 17" front on a spare rim to swap out for rides to work.
FWIW, I race with CMRA and we have 2 motard big bore classes, and -4- mini classes which include sprints and endurance.
You can run a CRF230 in the minis!
Or run a motarded XR100 and anything in between.
Don't think I would run the chinese bikes in endurance, likely to collapse into a heap on the track, but they are a fun to play around on.
