I had an opportunity to pick up a Hobbit dirt cheap a few years back and passed up on it.
Kick myself every time I see one now. Great little bike.

That 2T smell on your clothes after a ride is addictive. You always need more, it may be the most powerful drug known to man.

Ill need some suggestions on kits and exhaust . From what I have read the PA50I is is the worst to mod. I like a challenge.

Welcome to the dark side!
Hobbit is the first motorized 2 wheeler I ever rode, and wrecked. Back in the day I delivered pizzas on a Hobbit.
Good Times!

the pa2 isn't hard to mod. theres a step on the cases where the cylinder mounts that needs to be removed or modified to accept aftermarket cylinders. I don't remember any other issues or differences between a pa1 and pa2 case.
what are you wanting to do with this? liquid cooled or air cooled? ive heard a lot of good thing about the treatland wizard kit or alum77 kit from the other place. theyre identical other than the names. or the dr kit is supposed to be a ripper as well and its the biggest bore on the market at 47.4.
I have no real knowledge of l/c cylinders for the hobbit. haven't really messed with l/c cylinders myself, other than dirtbikes. I guess that L/C is the dark side of the 2 stroke dark side... lol

yes. the hobbit and camino are the same. just renamed and sold in a different market/ country. honda likes to do that.
