Old school mini bike

I love the chrome frame and gold accents. I have always wanted one of these.

Its funny, every day .... twice a day a guy goes by my shop on Groesbeck riding a mini bike (must drive it to and from work each day) .... it has no exhaust so you can hear it a mile away.... damm thing does about 50mph... we laugh about it when we hear it...

They can be pretty fast. Mine does a little over 50 as it is now, will go faster swapping out sprockets. Sounds like half a Harley There are a few out there breaking 100MPH in the 8th mile.

There are tons of Detroit mini bike street race videos on youtube.

They're really great. I don't think they carry a lot for that Briggs you have, but they have everything for Hondas and Honda clones (Predator 212). Briggs engines are really expensive to build compared to the Honda clones, so if you want to go fast you might want to consider storing away the Briggs and grabbing a Predator 212 Hemi from Harbor Freight. They're governed to 3600RPM, but that can be remedied. Remove the governor, but if you do, make sure you get a billet rod and billet flywheel. The stock parts don't hold up so well past the governed RPM. You don't want to impale your balls on a cast aluminum rod or get shrapnel wounds from an exploding cast flywheel It's relatively easy to get 15HP+ out of a Honda or Honda clone.

I don't think I'll ever break 20mph with the old 2hp briggs.

Hosed down the little 2hp with a few cans of carb/parts cleaner, then sanded through 3 layers of old paint and then hit it with some flat black.
The new hand grips came in over the weekend but needed a couple little burs filed down for smoother operation.

Chain was pretty rusty, letting it soak. another engine shot.
