Default Poket Bikes/Mini Bikes

I am thinking about buying a pocket bike(1' 6") or a mini bike(2' 6" i think)...you know...the ones that look like streetbikes but a lot smaller...gas motor, disk brakes...real suspension...basically a miniuature version of street bikes...I have seen them anywhere from $250-$500 bucks...and i might be going halves with my bro...anyone have one? ridin one? They fun to ride?

Input would be cool...



EDIT*** I found a link real quick...this isn't the one I'm thinking about getting but it should give u an idea if u have never seen one before...

Yeah got one, it's cool to take it out for a ride, but only in the countryside or where there's not alot of traffic. Just bought one off the street for 4 bills. Everyones got one here in Central Cali, the funny thing is, there's a freakin race tournament with these mini bikes. I even had a custom made exhaust on it and an RS race filter. Me and my buddies ride it once in a while. It's cool to have, also have a yamaha yzr 50cc mini street bike. Now, that bike is cool. Once a year, I take it over to laguna seca raceway, and theres a race there every year. But yeah, you should buy one if you like it, but must warn you, they are built very cheap, one fall and thats pretty much history for some of the parts on those bikes......................
