I am new to posting here, and I tried to search this, but could not find a history of this question, so here goes...Currently I have a DB 30, which in a few days will be getting a 6.5 HP clone engine ($99 on sale at HF) / (mounting kit from cjmini), and looking to have a minibike with some power, much like the one I had 30 years ago (5 HP Briggs / LiL Indian - I think), but considering getting a second minibike for my 13 year old son and I to ride together. Was looking at buying a new DB 30 for $169 (on sale), and another 6.5 engine upgrade ($220) (total cost = $169 + $220 = $389), but now having second thoughts about purchasing the Baja Carbon 6.5 HP (the larger Baja model) new for $379 (on sale). I know that the Baja Carbon, does not have the "vintage look", which is more important to me, than my 13 year old son.My son suggested getting the Baja Carbon, since it already has the 6.5 HP motor, and larger tires, a light, and shocks, which seems like it may be better suited to riding on outdoor trails.Thought this forum would be a good place to ask for advantages / disadvantages of these two Baja minibikes, and looking forward to recommendations, experiences with these Baja models.
