I'm also into Mini 4stroke...

I think the most popular is the Honda Monkey in Britain. (visit http://www.monkeybike.co.uk )

I had a bunch of Monkeys, daxes and gorillas

but these were my last projects:

¤ my ex-Honda dax:

first stage: Posted Image

second stage: Posted Image

¤ my Tuned Honda Gorilla:

Specs:

- Takegawa 124cc r-stage
- Daytona 5plate clutch
- Kitaco 5 gear
- Keihin CR26 Special carb

This gorilla has got a top speed of about 80mph, wich is very fast for cush a small bike :)

Thanks for watching

grtz

I always wanted a Gorilla but never got round to it. That one is really nice! :) Gotta love the Dax too though.

hmm, the "best" chinese replica's are jincheng and Skyteam, but there's nothing better than a good old Honda :D
That would be very fancy indeed!

i used to have a garelli katia... it was a fine beast, I rebuilt the engine really carefull, just replacing gaskets and stuff and making sure tolerances were good and torqueing correctly.. it would happily stretch to 40mph after that in standard form, is was great, chunky wheels and tyres and hot rod style handlebars..

i fancy another... :D
