No, you couldn't. No, it's not. Nope. I doubt it.

And if you were somehow able to cobble together a bike with a motor, it would fall apart on you.

But only you would be foolish enough to suggest building a motorcycle to race bikes.

Actually, Mat Hoffman attached a chainsaw motor to his bike years ago to air out of his ninja ramp, before resorting to being pulled in by Steve Swope's motorcycle.

But that's besides the point, as he was trying to air out of a monster quarterpipe, not race someone.

How about I stop posting stupid crap. Also there is a motorized BMX bike in a way, a dirtbike. Think of it, Most MX riders, were BMXers when they were younger, and they carried on alot of tricks from BMX. Well this post is getting stupid so I must stop here before beerman gives me the .\ again.

So a dirtbike is a motorized BMX bike because lots of MX riders rode BMX when they were younger? You're more ignorant than I thought you were.

In a way it is I mean. To correct myself, dirtbikes are similar in a way that to can busts tricks on them, but in the way they have a motor shocks, weigh 250lbs, covered in plastics, and a whole bunch of ways they're different. They're also completely different sports.

Sounds like a great idea. I think I even mentioned it earlier, then you resorted to childish name calling.

the dayton is probably better.

it's better to get a bike with a gyro, because you get more for what you paid. a straight cable costs $10.
the complete gyro setup is probably like $40

and its a fallacy that gyros reduce braking performance. it depends on the setup you have. read my thread called "fickle" for my proof.
