Picked this baby up few days ago :)

[khan]

Its a Blata B1 Origami
Liquid cooled - 14.5 HP - 60+mph easy
39.80 cc - single cylinder - 2-stroke
Torque 8.10 Nm (0.8 kgf-m or 6.0 ft.lbs)

I'm still in Pakistan but the B1 is at a friends place in the bay, who was nice enough to pick it up for me a couple weeks ago. So the B1 is waiting for me to get back to the Bay. I get back to the bay in February :ride:ride:rideartyartyarty

Wanted to check on here with you guys, where in the bay can I go ride this beast? And do you guys ride these bikes with full leathers? Lastly, any of you guys get together at small gokart/minibike tracks to ride your pocket/mini bikes? Id love to try the B1 for the first time around someone who knows these bikes a bit.

i've never owned a pocket/mini bike before other than a CRF50 so I'm kind of nervous as the seller managed to scare the crap out of me right after i paid him haha

He said its not a toy and that it will high side easily and a low side on the elbow i will break my collarbone and the story went on and on and on. So I'm officially scared but super excited. I want to test it out on a track, id probably be super slow but still track days are always fun. he also mentioned its not broken in yet as he did a rebuild and as that theres a special lengthy process of starting it too n if i don't follow it ill mess the engine up. (im probably overthinking this)

Can't wait to get back to the Bay!!

See you guys soon.
Below are some pictures of the bike!!

Till then!!

Wow! That's a nice looking bike! You planning on racing this season? Out at Stockton. If your not busy, we'll be riding this weekend at Stockton. Bring it out.

nice bike.

make sure it is in fact a genuine Blata B1. there was a rash of Chinese copies that were cloned to spec and just as fast, but very cheaply made and broke more than they were rideable.

best ways to figure this out, Blata likes to stamp every part with their logo. triple clamp, pullstart, pinion cover etc. which from the pictures, the pull start doesn't have a logo on it.

before riding that thing anywhere you want to make sure you have ATLEAST PMT T40 tires. chinese "zhongya" tires are like driving a gokart on ice.

as far as the scary riding part, they can be twitchy and erratic. no suspension along with a 2 stroke motor that seems to only be ON or OFF and no in-between. good fun tho. looking forward to seeing this thing at the track. I'm local to stockton and will be dusting off my pocketbikes to ride starting in January. :thumbup

I think it is a genuine Blata B1. every piece has a blata stamp.. ill most more picture. the pull starter cover broke and so the original owner replaced it with in different one, i read it a lot that these pull starter covers are weak and so mostly people put after market aluminium ones on.

As soon as i get to the bay, I'm hitting you guys up and joining you guys at the track. i really wana give this sport a shot. and knowing there would be barfers around to show me how things are done would be super helpful.
