2 Stroke Galaxy XTR 50cc SM?

was trawling through alibaba looking at dirtbikes as you do and found this for sale a supposedly 50cc LC 2 stroke Galaxy XTR probably and looks to be running a Chinese made Minarelli AM6 replica engine obviously the picture is a really badly photoshopped image as i know from personal and working experience that engine could not fill up that engine compartment in the same way as the AC 223cc engine does plus the exhaust in the picture has no expansion chamber but would be interesting to see if it is actually made with all the appropriate dimensions and engine characteristics of a 2 stroke exhaust wise that is.

Attachment 5594it will probably be like this 2 stroke 50 built by bashan or those built by Dafier Hanway which get rebadged as AJS over here, its quite interesting the rise in 2 stroke 50cc supermoto's and enduros from china its something i truly miss the blue haze on a cold morning and the sound of hornets from the rear

'Oldgringo' on chinariders.net posted this the other day from Keeway:

that looks like a cute lil bike that would be a lot of fun to play with out on some of the trails upstate NY

iv seen a few of those keeway 50 SM's about back at college theres a much better looking version of it which is austrian designed body work the thing about these Generic/Keeway 2 strokes are that the engines are european built predominantly badged as Derbi which use Minarelli engines, and those, APollo,Hyeng 50 SM, Hanway and Bashan use a 100% chinese built replica of the AM6 engine
Attachment 5617these chinese built but with european design bikes are really cheap compared to those designed and made in the EEC naturally only problem is the electrics which i know from a friend 2 years back had to rely on the kickstarter much of the earths werent all great, if i personally knew these chinese built 2 strokes were around when i was getting a 50cc at 16 i would of gotten one sorted it out and run it like a dream.

it seems to be its somoto making the little 50cc XTR,
http://www.somoto.cn/productshow.asp?id=159 heres the link for what they advertise it as
i contacted somoto to gert a few images of what the bike actually looks like and its not bad sadly it isnt the 223cc engine with a expansion champer in the exhaust as shown by there website, also its called the GTX instead of XTR the original image at the top of the page shows a minarelli AM^ looking engine but these engine show a somewhat Piaggio LC 50 engine which is very similiar to the minarelli engine even being able to share cylinder and pistons but has slight differences in its deisgn and gearing to suit Piaggio's bikes

the pipe is a tragedy

its exhaust layout is very similiar to the CPI SM50 apart from it carrying on and exiting just below the seat

I'm with Nima; that pipe is a tragedy, though it looks like a comedy. Surely that's the last place you want your exhaust pipe to be on a little minimotard like this. One hard impact with a rock or a log, and you'll be riding pipeless! Weird.

Otherwise it looks like a fun little bike.

cheers!

that would make more problems in rainy days ...heat ... smoke ... and all shiny looks will damage

my self dont like any thing under the engine

hmm if you look up race exhausts for AM6/piaggio D50B0 50cc supermoto's like the DT50/sx50 especially yasuni ones most are underslung as it exits the exhaust gasses quicker all race 2 strokes have them as straight out as possible its only if its a enduro in which they will properly get it curled round the engine and out near the seat, the exhaust on the enduro version isnt ideal but most people change for a race pipe anyways there are some that do curl round and exit under the seat but these are a improvement in performance but are still abit hindered compared to underslung exhausts

thanks ken

why chinese are not interested in making proper side stands for offroad bikes ... how hard is it ?

small european companies are also quite bad at them with instant swing back action when you lift the weight off nifty if your about to go but not so when your trying to stand the bike on a loose surface, the stand on my Rieju was modified so that it stays down when i lift the weight of the bike of it makes things easier i think personally when working on it

mine was just like urs but the point is when you forget to lift up the side stand it will make serious problems just after taking the first left corner or try to perform any offroad manoeuvres instantly so i didnot cut that little thing that make the side stand spring to lift it automatically
