WHICH EURO REP...should i get???

that ad is no good anyhow, it was from back in the day, but nobody removed it yet..

Who has the best prices right now? Tsunami is local to me, but, not always the best priced.

tsunami has the cheapest banshees right now.

Sorry Raven1, I read it wrong, It's $499 and in the sticky threads of the water cooled pocketbikes colomn here.

I can lean my B1 just as much as any other bike and the pegs dont drag...

and as for the comment about them not winning races thats why they placed 1st and 2nd in the European Championships right?

Blata 1st place 40cc class
Blata 2nd place Junior B class

then you arent leaning your others over far enough . good for blata in the lower classes, jan prudrik is a BEAST of a rider. hopefully theyll get their act together and make a factory 50cc motor for the big classes to actually be competitive.

Foot pegs are a pretty small issue and easy to fix. Those raised aluminium one's are pretty good if you drill out the thread and put a bolt straight through em. You know your leaning hard enough when you are pushing the front into corners and stepping the back out on the way out. Its the steering that most people don't like about the blata coz its its slower to turn in. If you know how to countersteer its not a problem and the extra stability is nice.

What are the raised allumunium one and where do you get them from.

I have a C1 and hate the peg placing and would love to change it!

I believe they are talking about the "meathook" style, demonspit made them and now just about everyone sells ripoff clones, davesmotor has some i think..

Thanks for all of the help gang, I just scored a killer deal on a new C5! I guess I am not part of the w/c ranks!

Good stuff Raven1, your PM's has an answer to your que.'s

And I'm gunna come up with some nice rear sets for the C5, so if anyone is interested in a set, let me know eh. I'll run a few sets off.

?? How can you say they handle bad?

I think it is a matter to what you get used to. After the Air cooled Cags I found the C1 MUCH better, more stable, and gives you more confidence. which is what you really need! when you start with these bikes.

I drove a GP3 out of the box, and it feels wierd. it depends what you get used to.

I just hate the stock footpeg position, i just could never carry the same corner speed as my banshee or 911 without spearing off the track cause i couldnt get it down that far without shearing the pegs off. im sure you could do some fancy new footpegs or something like the new B2.

and i personally dont like the tank shape and found it a bit tricky to throw myself off either side compared to all the other rep bikes.

if you just want to bum around on the street they are an okay bike though i cant say as though any of the blata reps ive seen have had many mechanical problems.

gp3 is a very wierd bike to sit on, then again so is a Stamas and so is a BMS i cant get on either of them properly until the bike is rolling they are so farking akward bit of instability is what makes em quick i guess. bit like an f16

they all cost basically the same and they all have problems youll have to fix so id just buy whatevers cheapest if i had to descend back into the caveman era and get a china bike again haha
