Pit bikes
Which one?
I tested a Yamaha scooter (Zuma 50cc 2 stroke) at WGI. I liked the fact that there was a cup holder and it was automatic, so I could drink a beer while riding through the paddocks (at the end of the day, of course
) And I could have a passenger.
But apart from that, I would have prefered a small motocross. With a clutch.
Or actually, the best would be a dual-purpose bike, so I could use it at home too, although I would not have a lot of time to do so...
I must have done too much internet searching, now I can't make my mind...

Actually, it was on top of my list. The fact that there is no plastic to scratch or break, I think it is the best. But it's only a single seater.

Ha Hodaka! those 2 strokes are bad ***!
the mad *** has a cult following, and lots of aftermarket parts. its narrow, but longer and taller than the ruckus.
its more fun, but less functional than your typical pit bike.

I always use vintage Honda Z50's. They're a big hit, and everybody has a Honda Mini Trail story.
You can even get a huge flat luggage rack to bolt on to the back. Cupholder optional.
This is one of the last ones I restored - a '71 longtail with a 75cc big bore kit. There are numerous engines available in this configuration - all the way up to a DOHC 125cc monster.
