Blata elite 13JR

I've been looking around for an elite 13JR (the 4.2hp version) and I am wondering if they are blata's direct competiton to the 4.2hp polini 910? Also I havent found a price for these bikes so if anyone knows off hand that would be great.

price is around $1900. The Elite 13 Jr. is a very powerful 4.2--so much so that some racing organizations don't allow it to race in the 4.2 class. If your local race org does, then it would be a very competitive bike to race (power wise). The handling on the other hand, well, it's weight distribution is pretty good but a steering damper is a very good thing to have. We haev always bought our Blata parts from Tom at DCminimoto...703 246 9003. he is a very knowledgeable guy about da blata stuff.

I have a used Jr. Racer on the way, along with a 2.5 (w/ 6.5" wheels). I've heard the same thing about the JR. (as dr. fer mentioned). But we don't have a 4.2 class here in SoCal yet, so it'll probably go in the proddy. I got it so that I wouldn't have to share my RSR with my son, not to be selfish but now I can tune/set up the RSR for me to ride.

You get a brand new 2.5, Neil?

Nah, it's used along with the Jr. Racer. Zack's been good so Santa will have two PB's for him Christmas morning (he doesn't know). It's just too bad he won't get seat time until then.

What do you think of the stage I and III from Frank G, worth it? I'm not much of a tuner, would I have to send the motor in to get the Stage III done?

BTCC, sorry for hi jacking your thread.

What year is the 2.5 and 13 Racer?

Zack's a great kiddo and probably deserves 3 PB's under the tree.

IMO, the Stage I isn't worth it, but the Stage III for Open Cag Class would be awesome.

Yes, you send the motor to Frank for tuning.

Should we expect to see you and Zack at the last race of the series next month?

I know the 13 is for Zack, but will you be racing it too? I've been thinking about getting a 4.2 myself, but not that many people have them although I hear there's a few floating around that people don't bring to the track on race day.

4.2 class would be awesome!

Not sure what year they are, got them both from Remy (pocketrocketz). I think the 2.5 is an 04 'cause he says that it has the newer pipe (though I'm not sure). The Jr. is a "racer" (not sure exactly what the difference between the jr. and jr. racer) and I think it's an 04 too. It has the WRS front end ( if I remember correctly).

Yes, we'll be at the season finale next month. (it'll be my first ******** race). Fees are kinda steep though, I hope it doesn't stay that way next season 'cause we're gonna try to make every race.

What exactly can be done to the 2.5 to increase performance yet stay in stock class? I gather the stage III makes it an open (I'd like for Zack to stay in the stock class).

I would definitely race in the 4.2 if they create the class here. I agree, 4.2 class would be awesome. Problem is, I heard that the Jr's are way under rated and might be pushed out of the 4.2 class and sent to the proddy (but not quite competitive with the super proddy). This is the same problem I have now with my RSR, it's bone stock proddy competing with super proddy's, it's all good though. I just want track time against great riders.

I went with the Blata's because Zack is used to the Cag, he has a hard time sliding around the RSR. Plus, I got an excellent deal!

What class would you race the stage III in because it's not leagal
in the 2.5 class but you could race in production but goodluck

I think it'll be in the open Cag/4.2 class
