Now you can see why making a fast smallframe is cheap.

Not so rare anymore, tis the age of the smallframe didn't you know :baddevil:

When done right and because of how light and small they are smallies can be fast as fook and mental to ride

I get much more of a buzz from my smallie than I ever did from my 30bhp (Chalkies Dyno) Lammy and its not even set up right yet.

Smallies get a BIG thumbs up from me :frog:
Stay tuned..............

Mate,was on a rideout last Sun and when you see the parkas with targets on,lights mirrors etc a tall bloke on a smallie is no worries.Go for it it.If you think you look silly,think how the Lammie owner will feel when you blast past him!! :lol:
