Really cool find. A kid on my street has just got a red year 2000 model. It does not look as nice as yours.

The Aprilia has a Leo Vince pipe and a 21mm dell carb on it. I'll have to check it all over but I think it will make for a fun toy. Just got to take all the ugly gold foil go fast stickers off of it. Gotta tach it to about 6k rpm before it gets going but it's fun. Minarelli AM6 motor tons of possibilities. I would love to see tons of pictures of this Aprilia and video would be awesome as well. Here's your video, nothing special. Still not tagged yet so I'm not going to go far with it. Fun for a lil 50 screamer. |

Fun for a lil 50 screamer. That's the ultimate "scooter"! You picked a great location for the camera too. Cool to watch the tach spin up and see the scenery as well. Can't wait until you make it an 80  |

I need to change the sprockets to make better use of the power band. If you watch the tach you can see where it's at. Below 7k there's not much. But again it's stock bore. I'll hold out and come up with a game plan first.

Nice bike Ryan, that's a zippy little $hit.. Mark my word when i say you'r going to get a speed'n tick on it and then when you tell them it's just a 50-- they will toss you in the back seat on the way to to the Phic ward you go..  |

Speeding? Me? No way! I guess different areas may consider it differently. It's currently titled as a moped, from a neighboring state which technically is not correct for here, PA. I'll get it titled as a motorcycle if I can. It meets the criteria and I won't get harassed for exceeding the 30mph moped speed limit.

It is amazing what a real gear transmission can do with 50cc without the power sucking CVT.

So when is the bbk build thread going to start ? Not until after my other bike is done. I also need to price out if it's more cost effective to swap a YZ,CR, 85 in it or just build this one. There are plenty of motor swap examples out there. There are a few YZ 125 swaps. |

Sounds good. A lot you can do with these little engines.

Later they put a yz125 in it, that was dangerous |
