A 2010 Super Stomp z140.

140cc 4 stroke single. Has an uprated cam, and should put out around 14bhp.

Plan is to put some supermoto tyres on it, and go ragging it around the local go kart track.

Nice bit of kit Razz , how do you find it compared to a motocross bike in terms of of playing on a track, is it as up to it etc? Also what suspension mods work best with it?

I've barely used this to be honest, but size wise it's not stupidly small like a mini-moto feels. Shock wise you can fit r6 shocks from an 02 bike onwards, mine's had an updated shock put on after the last one died of death.

It doesn't really compare to a full size mx bike, but for the money, ease of transport and general fun, I don't think you beat it really. Especially for the price of uprated parts and the low cost of racing them.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I don't recall mickey taking, I remember slight disappointment that there would be no more off-road playing though!

I swapped this for my 1989 Kawasaki KX125 motocross bike, it was quite rough around the edges, was obviously 20 years old. I had stripped it down and done a decent restoration on it, but it was always going to be a 20 year old highly strung MX bike, and I don't have much passion for motocross.

If I didn't have my Husqvarna I probably wouldn't have done it, the Husky is just probably more capable in every way, and it's more suited to enduros which is what I want to get into really.

The KX I got two years ago, swapped it for a GS500 I had (shit-heap). I think the GS cost me about £600.

I suspect the KX would have held its value far better than this ever will, but I think their values at the time of the swap is about exactly right. And it's what I want at the moment, so I thought why not.

I have had a pitbike before, and I've always kicked myself for not using it, but at that point in my life I didn't have the place to store it, or the mode of transport to get it anywhere, now I have both so I hope I get into it a bit more.

But this little bike seems spot on from what I've looked at so far. Just in the process of trying to procure a second set of 10" whees, so I can fit supermoto tyres whilst still keeping my off road wheels for play-time.

Then maybe a third set of wheels for full race wets. Twisted Evil
