A minibike is a small motorcycle, usually for offroad use. The latest craze is adult racing on minibikes. These inexpensive minibikes originally designed for small children are often transformed for adult use by adding taller handle bars and by improving the suspension. Sometimes called Pitbike Racing, it is a less expensive form of entertainment than motocross. People who can not afford the time, expense and danger of full size motocross racing are drawn to minibikes as a fun way to experience the thrill of motorcycle on dirt.

The smallest minibikes are built around a 40cc size engine and they continue up to a 110cc engine. The Honda CRF50 has become a standard in minibikes related to Minibike Racing. Many other brands of minibikes have cropped up as the minibike sport has grown. The SDG 107cc Speed Mini is modeled after the CRF50, but contains a stronger engine and heavy duty frame.

Safety
Even with an adult rider minibikes can attain speeds of over 40mph where serious injury can occur from missuse. Hence riders should wear adequate safety equipment at all times! A baseball cap and tracksuit bottoms may look good but they will not save you from serious injury. Minibike riders should be equipped as the rider in the picture who is wearing adequate head and knee protection, as well as a jock for groin protection, and a pair of sturdy jeans to prevent chaffing.
