the chances of Zack running into another mini bike while he's on a mini bike is INSANE! ! 12:12 , its pure luck his bike broke down and fixed at the right time

[@sprintcardriver8]

How were you able to Vin this they don't come with vin #'s

[@thedude7726]

Being a mini bike guy, there are a ton of mods to get more power. Removing the govener or the zipty mod makes a HUGE difference

[@Chocolate_dragon]

@@thedude7726 NEVER suggest removing the governor or doing the zip tie mod without doing a billet flywheel, and rod. You'll just end up with a hole through your block or a hole in your leg. Don't be stupid.

Minibikes are amazingly fun. We have several. My kids ride them, my wife, and myself included. I have a really built bike that runs 50+ mph, has hydraulic brakes, suspended front end, rigid rear and just flat out is comfortable to ride. I've ridden it 30-40 miles at a time on the trails, roads, gravel roads, and just out cruising. Its a blast and fun! Also they will improve your skill as a motorcycle rider. It might not seem like it would translate well, but it does! This bike they have built, isn't particularly well built. The jerky take off, poor brakes, vibrations, ect are all solved by being well built.

I think this wins in the smiles per mile class. How many people give you thumbs up when you are riding a GS? And I think this point seals the deal. We need Tshirts with this bike!

This makes me appreciate how semi-badass my little 2012, 50cc 4-stroke Honda Metroploitan was. I used it as a commuter bike for almost 2-years while going through physical therapy for a bad back injury, and It maxed out at 29mph on ther flats, and 32mph downhill with a tail wind. After I slapped on a full exhaust system, a fuel mapper (that also disabled the RPM limiter), and a custom racing variator, I was able to get that scooter going to 43mph on the flat roads, and 47mph going down hill. And still got 70mpg (it got 100mpg in stock form). Scared the shit out of a Halrey dude in a hospital parking garage when I fired it up next to him. He was gearing up at his hog when I was approaching my scooter, and he chuckled when I used my alarm remote to deactivate the alarm. But he jumped like a girl when I fired it up! :) That 50cc thumper sounded like a 500cc thumper. :)

[@michaelb.42112]

I love the fact that this exists. It makes me happy. I LOVED the Nebraska to Aspen, California road trip. The handling is somewhere between horrendous and intolerable. Classic !!! Extra pair of gloves as per tradition.

Can you do a “Daily Rider” with Steven’s bike? Was that a BMW R9 T?

[@xcaliber7779]

"Leavin that Maserati in the dust" 🤣 that sounds like me when I gave a Porsche a view of my Vespa Sprint tail lights from a stop in about 2 seconds.

"It has a heat shield because Ari Henning". I like how simply quoting Ari Henning means its built right to a high standard.

[@stoneheartjp13]

You should try installing a smaller rear sprocket to get more top end since its running a cvt. That small engine can easily go 45 bone stock no problem.

[@beowulfsrevenge4369]

Yes!! I was really hoping that you do a Daily Rider that sweet hog. Edit: I can't believe that thing street legal. That's amazing! Edit 2: Hi Steven. That's a pretty sweet BMW motorcycle.

I started building one of these for a son a while back with the Predator 79cc and it's sat incomplete for too long. This gives me motivation to hopefully finish it up this weekend. I need to look into that transmission for mine. Right now it's direct drive with a centrifugal clutch.

Nowhere else would you be riding a 'Dumb & Dumber' bike and have another one ride by like it's nothing.

I have a Versys 650 (but the ABS version, not the LT). I had no idea you had a leaderboard because I usually click off of videos early... and I'm just amazed to see my bike (well, not quite) nearly at the top. Makes me happy. I made the right choice. ^^

[@timothycoyne5874]

Sweet BMW R nineT at 10:45!! (I might be a little biased.). 😉

[@SapioiT]

Honestly, with a better seat, bigger fuel tank, and a fairly sizable muffler to quiet down the exhaust, the vehicle would be a lot nicer. And some glue could fix that mirror. Especially if you used a suspension for the horns/handles, to reduce the vibrations. And maybe also add a two-speed gearbox, so you can move faster, even if with a 1:1.5 maximum gear ratio. Or bigger wheels, at the very least, to achieve the same result differently. And please add one of those blinker systems for bikes, if you don't add one for motorcycles, at the very least. I wonder how a homemade muffler would work, on this moped.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Shortly before y’all did the ride to the Rockies video I completed a restoration on my brother in law’s original 1970’s mini bike. The last thing I did was print out a picture of the D&D bike and made it into a number plate. Never got it to Aspen, only Colorado Springs.

Great stuff, thanks for that. Hi Steven! =)

[@spuds7677]

Put a Stage 1 on it and do a governor delete on it. You will double the speed of the mini bike. You can go all out and put a cam, flywheel and a billet rod in it and push it over 60 mph! A torque converter is a must on mini bikes that do a lot of hills, twists and turns. I have a Coleman CT200U-EXR and i love it. We ride 20+ miles a day and we have a blast. With my size and weight, I run 55-60 all day long.

[@bikerdude1979]

I'll never get used to seeing bikes lane splitting. It's completely illegal where I live, so I never see it happening except on KZbin. The video was quite entertaining, though. Thanks for the nostalgia and all of the little easter eggs. I'm pretty sure I caught all of the references.

I ride a coleman rt200 as a daily in Colorado ive taken it over the contential divide. Mine is modified but as long as the speed limit is under 45 and especially uphill through the mtns ive embarrassed corvettes just cuz it so light that itll climbs anything and the wheelbase is so short switch backs are super fun plus you never even have to think about the breaks going uphill at least

[@ryancharvat6989]

I think you could do a whole video of your tool pouch. What is in it and what you might add. Maybe accompany that with some blue and orange suit bonus footage. BTW I use a piece of rubber hose as an isolator for my bell on my minibike so it does not constantly ring, but mine is just a bell not a bell/mirror combo.
