Small Bikes??

[timendous]

I'm interested in getting a bike that is very (very!) small, but still want decent power. Ive seen the Honda Ape, but this seems to very expensive for what you get, and not alot of power?? Does anyone know of any bikes 125cc or over that are under 200 in length / 100 in height and that weigh under 100kg? No matter how old (as long as they're fairly readily available).

Many thanks

if its lightweight you want get a trials bike

if its small dimensions i honestly don't have a clue why do you want a really small bike?

200 cm in length?

100 cm in height?

My 125 is a Cagiva mito, which is very very fun! this is a supersport 125 so it will be good performance and i believe the Aprilia RS has similar dimensions

Dry weight: 125.0 kg (275.6 pounds)
Seat height: 759 mm (29.9 inches)
Overall width: 759 mm (29.9 inches)
Ground clearance: 150 mm (5.9 inches)
Wheelbase: 1,374 mm (54.1 inches)

The yamaha SRX400 is a very small motorcycle (grey import but a few about) the SRX600 isn't much bigger. Don't know the exact dimensions but it is one of the smallest bikes (short of monkey/pit bikes) I have seen.

Out of interest, why do you want such a small bike?

Fancied a small bike as im small myself, I live in London so there aint much 'open' road, and I want something more on the fun side as it wont be used for everyday use.

Thanks for your help.

Don't let the size put you off. To an extent you can ride pretty much any bike.

When I was on holiday this summer I saw a very short oriental woman (maybe 4' 10") riding a CCM supermoto which is a very tall bike indeed. She did have a novel way of mounting it by riding off in first gear standing next to the bike with her left foot on the left peg then swinging her right leg up and over the saddle as it got moving.

That's an extreme example but my point is, don't be put off by the size of a bike. Go and sit on a few.
