CT200 minibike I picked up at TSC for $423 including tax. 6HP and about 25 MPH.........however of course...... that would never do.
Mods.....Tav 2 Torque-a-verter clutch $220 including tax.
Comet cart racing exhaust. $20
Secure, removable, and rain proof storage trunk for haulin my gear. $10
Added mud protection guard behind front tire. $0
Custom built removable stand for my hitch cargo carrier.......extra wood, glue, screws, and a can of paint.
My GPS speedo read 51 MPH when I let up......and the torque that clutch gives is amazing. Had it loaded down and powered up steep hills with power to spare.
About $700 for a brand new utility minibike that I'll have for years seems like a pretty good deal to me.....and its a blast to ride!
Pics are after a recent expedition and then after I cleaned it back up.
