OMICRON ANOUNCES THE ARRIVAL OF ITS MINI RACER 125 THUMPSTAR PIT PRO This Bike has undergone some pretty harsh testing. Ridden by Mike Brown and SHC's Race Team with Mike Leavitt, it has an increasing race pedigree.  Coming as standard with Omicrons new inverted front fork and the tried and tested Elka mini series shock on the rear it sets it self apart from the competition. The billeted spinal frame (BSF) and removable sub frame connect the parts together to provide the rider with a very light very strong backbone in which the power of the 125cc performance engine can be harnessed and controlled. Built here in the USA the numbers are limited so if performance, power and control are on your mind then the new Thumpstar is the bike for you. |

THEY ARE PRETTY DECENT AFTER YOU REPLACE THE CHINCY STUFF i.e. FOOT PEG MOUNTS AND EXHAUST MOUNTS

I'd rate this bike a lil higher than the other knockoff's because of the frame,forx and swingarm look great compared to the SDG and Xtremes! Not to mention the Elka rear shock is friggin badass and it comes stock on that bike!  All these companys throwing together cheap ass knockoffs trying to cashin on the pitbike craze!  One of the best things about FIDDY's is building the bike how you want it and knowing it will hold up to the abuse because you built it yourself!IMO  |

The people who are doing that end up spending a large chunk of $$$ and time just to keep those bikes in rideable condition. They beat on it for 2wks or a month and those high quality parts that they use on those knockoff's are already starting to bend,tweak,crack,break and then they end up rebuilding and repairing that knockoff bike or just start a bike from the ground up with parts from known company's that have reputations in the pitbike world. You get what you pay for brotha. |

a CRF50 or TTR50 is about $1,110 depending where you live...you basically have to modify stuff before you can even ride one because they are set up for a 5 year old.
