New to the scene.need help

im new to the mini scene.i want 2 get into road-racing and mini-gp. im not sure what i should get.any sugguestions will help.had a 80cc dirtbike now i hav a mini-chopper.

get a YSR. they are cheap to buy, cheap to maintain and the mods are everywhere. And when you get bored with road racing, you can turn your YSR into a street bike and get all the stares from your hood.

depending on how much you are willing to spend.
check ebay. they sell YSR's all the time there.
my friend sells YSR's here in southern Florida. He's got 3 for sale right now. he's a mechanic who specializes on YSR's, derbi's yerbi's and a bunch of other bikes.

since the ysr's are a lil dated would the newer years be better?wat is a yerbi conversion?

A YSR is a YSR is a YSR. doesn't matter what year you get one, just get one.
the 1987 version is identical to the 1991 version. they are all the same bike. nothing changed on the YSR's in the years Yamaha manufactured them.

As far as what's a Yerbi? well, it's a YSR frame with a Derbi motor. it's the best bang for the buck upgrade you can have so far. you get a brand new, say 2002 or 2003 model, engine and it get's popped into the YSR frame. the Derbi engine is a liquied cooled - 6 speed new technology engine where as the YSR's engine is a 15 year old air cooled 5 speed motor.

Derbi is a motorcycle manufactured in Spain. they make motard and street style GPR bikes. In Spain the derbi's come in 50cc and 125cc flavors I believe.

Here's a link to what a Yerbi spec contains.

check out that group. Team Calamari. they race in Cali where I was from. they are a good group to start with.

you can do just bought anything to the YSR. that's why it's such a great bike to start with.

here's another link of a fellow who stuck a 200cc Blaster engine in a YSR frame..........talk about koo-koo-la-koo!!!!

enjoy!
