My buddy after high school bought a go cart with a 450 HONDA MOTOR CYCLE ENGINE on it , he had me trouble shoot it ( all axle sprocket bolts SHEARED IN 1/2 ! ) I came over , put in all GRADE 8 BOLTS , did some tuning and test drove it , i RODE A WHEELIE THROUGH FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ! all GRADE 8 BOLTS SHEARED IN 1/2 ! 2 TIMES ! i fixed it a Third time , told him to "sell it " !
I've always wanted a minibike as a kid. It never happened. I was however, lucky enough to have friends that did own minibikes. Ha Back when times were so much more less complicated.
so whats stoppin ya now????? get your arse in the garage and start building . you only live once, might as well make it something to remember right???? growing up is optional growing old is mandatory. live like theres no tomorrow.
Kenny B same here.. I never had one as a kid growing up (wait that's a lie.. but after the first day my brother came over caught it on fire and it burned up.. and I got whooped for it, cause my brother dipped right afterwards) but anywho I bought 3 now I have 2 kids boy and girl.. we just started this year.. I also bought 4 engines that we are all together going to be building as a family.. it's never to late to bring out the kid in all of us.. but to experience now with my children its priceless.. much love.
I'm disabled and bored so I'm buying a welder soon to make my own balanced frames for racing applications and leisure time cruisers. I recently moved to the #WestSide of Detroit and with the mini bike traffic I see around here, I'm sure to make a dent in the sales of machines out here real soon. This video,( and others ) only confirm what I told my Wife. Yep, it's lookin' like I'll have something to do this coming year in 2021 for sure, so look for some choppers to hit the scene soon on the #WestSide of the 313 and remember to watch out for pot holes out there everyone, 'cause road rash #SuxAss ! ~ 12 Block Tokie ~ Detroit, Michigan
Thank you for your support and inspiration to our city (Detroit) and the overall minibike culture and community!! Contact me if you would like to do business in the future. Thank you.
you should make some videos of you making frames and filling them out. it would help boost some hype around them and possibly be making commissioned work. plus throw in some smoking to keep the fans real with ya.
Yall ever bring em to StL? I don't build, but I know there's a couple builders in the city. They cruise thru StL and traffic. Alot of drag builds. Great job and bout to go check out more! Keep on keeping on!!!!
Thats was pretty cool. Even tho it looked like dude in the tshirt was in front of the line a lil and gave himself a scoot, the blue dude still looked like he won. Awesome yall!!!
That is some serious budget racing! Best of all, you can (most of the time) find a cop-less area to run these things. I doubt the money is as big as street racing in cars, but it seems like these have far less commitment. Way to go figuring out ways to taking the ubiquitous minibikes to levels like this!
Same thing always happened to me and my friends 50 years ago. I would be having a good time riding my 1969 Honda 50 Mini Trail, the cops would show up and run us off.
I love this stuff man I'm 50 and had mini bikes like this but no where near as fast. I would like to see the city sponsor some kinda weekend events or relax laws in areas to let it be more of a outlaw gathering.
@@briannotafan3368 In the mid. 70's my cousin took a 32 horse power sachs snowmobile engine and converter assembly and put it on a standard go cart , it topped out at 110 M.P.H. ! AND he raced and BEAT every muscle car from the 60's and 70's AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ! All you'd hear is the scream of the 32 h.p. then the howl of a 4 barrel , 6 barrel or 2 - 4 barrels way behind him !
i remember as a kid and racing minibikes at the Saddleback Motorcycle Park in Santiago Canyon, Southern California. I was sponsored and raced for " The Hawk " Racing Team. I rode a modified Zebra Mini Bike, with a 6 horse Techumshe motor punched out with a mikuni 26 carburetor running nitro methane using a torque convertor putting 12 horse to the rear wheel. I was clocked at speeds in access of 60 to 70 miles per hour. Those were the day's.
Thank you my friend, Detroits car and bike scene treats people like family. It’s the Motor city and we welcome everyone that shows respect to our culture!
Extremely impressed with a number of your fast bikes ! I am paralyzed from my shoulders down, and interested in building an old school mini-bike ! Would any of you be willing to help me with my project !? Thank you !
Very cool 😎, I see this as racing in it’s truest sense 👍 It is amazing how they get the speed they do out of these little beasts! ….sorry I’m so late for the party.
Early 70's we built a mini bike from hell. Lol. We took a stolen Kawasaki S-1 three cylinder 250 cc two stroke engine and mounted it in an old Cushman scooter frame. A little fab work and some poor welding and that thing would fly. You sat way down low like an old school chopper. Screaming 250 cc between your legs and your ass about 3 inches off the pavement. It was scarey fun. It would do about 70 mph with those fat Cushman tires.
I had a mini bike with a 8horse Tecumseh snow blower engine on it...I had to ride a passenger on the front to keep from wherlstanding all the time ...I went through clutches like chewing gum!
If y'all look close enough there's no chain guides on all these bikes that's hella sketchy but scarry but so cool all in one if ya wanna loose body parts if chain snapped
That looks fun. I remember when i was kid had a CYCLOPS i think thats the name my pa would tie a sting to the govenor thing it would fly not like that though
In 1977 I put a 230 cc Villiers 2 stroke engine into a Bonanza minibike, 80 mph+, it was INSANELY FUN!!!

Feel the rhythm, Feel the rhyme, Lets get ready! It's mini bike time!!
Cool running man
I laughed so hard at this and woundernwhy they isn't more likes on this

Hey how did that work out for you sir did you sell any frames ?
you should make some videos of you making frames and filling them out. it would help boost some hype around them and possibly be making commissioned work. plus throw in some smoking to keep the fans real with ya.
@@souleater307 Guess he never went with it. Sounded like he was down with it. Be good for everyone into that kinda thing.
@@johnmcaleese8459 I also wanted to see this I would even drive my mini bike across country to have my motor swap with a predator 420cc.
It's nice to see people having fun and those are fast and wtf that was good clean fun . Thanks for sharing .
They need a channel on TV I’d watch this show more on the bikes . This is something most people can get into. More of this for sure
they did but the person who created the channel passed away, I use to watch their videos all the time.
the cop should have drove up in a go-kart
Booger Eater lol
Lol
LOL ima play the cops
Or a mini cop bike
If only the world was that cool 😂
I had a 1970 FOX with a 4 HP Tecumseh stock- what a blast! I was 7
Those little bikes are badass!
Them boyz in the detroit don't play around win it comes mini bikes 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I stared in Envy the whole time. TIME TO GET A MINI BIKE YEAAAAAAA!!!!!!
should tighten that loose chain, it'd be faster
and allot better
and a chain cover dont want your arm to be cut off by a broken chain.
word up ppl laugh when i tell them that so ill wait just so i can say see stupid?
any tips on home-made (temporary) chain-tensioners? I've seen it done with a skateboard wheel..
No it will snap the chain if tightened from the power
Thats was pretty cool. Even tho it looked like dude in the tshirt was in front of the line a lil and gave himself a scoot, the blue dude still looked like he won. Awesome yall!!!
Yeah, dude in the t shirt jumped fo sho!!!
do they ever go to the thunderdrome races? it's a racetrack in Detroit for mopeds, bikes, and minibikes only
I will post videos at the thunderdome as well! We took third place racing that year we raced!
@@CBRacing365 bro you kinda late
Your are right, I'm going to get better with responding to all of you great viewers.
Last two just kilt me...
Not criminals, just a bunch of guys having a good time. I hope the cop didn't bust them.

I've been riding my mini bike 220CC around my area starting to meet other riders hope to do this one day
I got a 150cc but it’s broken 😂
Same thing always happened to me and my friends 50 years ago. I would be having a good time riding my 1969 Honda 50 Mini Trail, the cops would show up and run us off.
Respect ✊

So cool, they kinda resemble what we had in the late 60's, but way faster.
Dispatch: We have a report of people having fun and the caller wants it to come to a stop.
PIG: I'm on it.

Sounds legit. I put 15 to the real wheel of my ct200r with a TAV 30 and stock gears to run 40-50 mph.
Looks like a fun time to me
Dam, tempted to move to Detroit... This looks awesome!
Thank you my friend, Detroits car and bike scene treats people like family. It’s the Motor city and we welcome everyone that shows respect to our culture!
We love your bikes. see our Builder Prepared engines, close course competition
Coolest video I’ve seen in a while
I like the old black dude with the blue Prada’s

Sick ... We Are Starting This In SanDiego
Looks like a good time!
lol. it was funny when he push the bike with his feet lmao
What a land. Everyone has little trinkets and tricked out rims but no retirement account. Gottta love it!
How do you know what they got
Nice!! I built one at 14. Fun times!
How cool im working on my own custom mini bike this very moment .
This has inspired me to build one !!
Any idea on where I can get a double sided pinion for a cateye pocket bike, kind of like the one shown at around 1:44?
Looked like a great day
That chain is giving me an anxiety attack!!🤣
Very cool 😎, I see this as racing in it’s truest sense 👍
It is amazing how they get the speed they do out of these little beasts! ….sorry I’m so late for the party.
Cop- "Why aren't you all at home watching tv like good little consumers?"
that is sick...i don't know what kind of gears you have on there...but it goes pretty fast
Install an idler on that flapping chain!
We had them in Det , 1968 I was 10
I can't believe how fast those things are
Dude with the shorts had a headstart and still lost
Well damn that cop should have brought out his motorcycle 🛵🛵👨🏾✈️🏍️
did you guys build the mini bikes or did you buy them?
This is awesome
Now that’s some fun right there 👍

what a blast!
WOW ! This motorcycle so small but race very fast ! Is the technology vehicles !
What gear set up did the orange bike have
fatty aint so aerodynamic
Petey akwph
any insight on where to buy those type of clutches
What kind motors do these have on them??
What kinda clutch is that on that orange mini bike at about 2:20?
Ok this is the good side of youtube
cbracing365 would you be able to tell me if you guys still have these races?
Perfect setting for a shooting.
That nigga said unbelievable right when that cop pulled up 😂😆😂
I had a mini bike with a 8horse Tecumseh snow blower engine on it...I had to ride a passenger on the front to keep from wherlstanding all the time ...I went through clutches like chewing gum!
How are they making these so quick. What are they?
What do you call that wide tire?
Racing clutch 😎💪
All these dudes just hanging out having fun and the cops gotta ruin it! People could do things way more harmful then riding mini Bikes!
Yeah until they hit someone’s kid and kills them
What street?
If y'all look close enough there's no chain guides on all these bikes that's hella sketchy but scarry but so cool all in one if ya wanna loose body parts if chain snapped
why the jack shaft?
Can’t wait till my bike is done almost there
They look like those russian bears in the circus that ride the little bicycles
Thanks
Dead on bro! Well... 196 but same shit depending on if they bore or not
where can i get mines fixed at ??
Where to buy mini bikes?
Nice i had a Cat 5hp in 73..
One guy racing with blue jeans and no helmet, the other guy racing with a helmet and shorts. I guess safety is top priority.
awesome
Very Kool 😎
You guys are not far from me!!
Good old times
What kind of motor makes these so fast?
It's many different engine combinations but the most common are the predator clone 6.5HP horizontal shaft engines.
those rims on the cars LOL they big
Dj Brown why you say get a quad or dirt bike is it better to ride them instead
what kind of motors those things got? lmao!
Pretty fast actually lmao i mean its funny looking but fast.
THIS IS GREAT!\
When is the next mini bike race and where
if i was the cop i would have keept on rollin by...
nice
Homie ain't trying to hear that noise. He like his chain like he he likes his women. Nice and loose.
NEVER touch a chain with the engine running.
I have no idea how they are getting this horsepower. Cams, high compression and nitro?
Damn that Pontiac tho
Awe the fun killers showed up...
hahaha thats fucking *awesome* !! :D
That looks fun. I remember when i was kid had a CYCLOPS i think thats the name my pa would tie a sting to the govenor thing it would fly not like that though
Any of them for sell
This makes my 3hp homemade look like a fucking snail lol
