Ok, so my only experience with Mini Bikes (if they count) is Honda Z50's. I've had a bunch of them, well long story short house fire took all of them several years ago. Haven't gotten back into it until this week. My kids are finally getting old enough to play too, soo, I bought a DB30 and I'm having second thoughts while reading about the 212's..
The DB I've got has a Predator 79cc on it and the performance is miserable. Not anywhere near a Z50 with an 88cc head swap and I've seen similar comments about 212 equipped DB's having little to no performance on inclines.
Anyway, the plan is to run this DB30 chasing my kids on their off road toys. Little to no paved running. Little to no FLAT area. Off road with hills.
Is a DB30 with a Predator 212 going to give the performance worth messing with or should I just drop the $$ on another Z50 and start messing with them again?
