Default New Bike X15 or X18

what one is bigger and better? I did read a lot about them and they both say the same stuff. Are they just differnt body styles? And does the x15 have a clutch? Are they even good bikes? If not what is a better 110cc pocket bike if any?

The first question I'd have to ask is why are you interested in the bigger bikes?

Every type of bike, xbike, pocketbike etc has their place and purpose. Knowing that will help us help you.

I want a bigger bike bc i am a bigger boy and i didn't like the way you sit on the small bikes. I would use my bike for just messing around on my street and long drive way. I will not be racing but i do want a fast bike. I also want a bike that does not have a differnt problem every day. Thats why i like the x18 and x15 bc they are bigger and i seen a video of a stock one do 60+mph and they also look pretty sweet!

I hate to tell you but those bikes won't do 60+ mph unless it's off a cliff.

But if you're looking at those bikes due to your size then that's probably your best fit. Like you I don't fit well on a pocketbike, but I've sat on one of the 110cc bikes and they're pretty nice.

To be honest I've never had anything nice to say about the Xbikes, so go for one of the 110cc bikes. Make sure you have a source for parts before purchasing however as most dealers do not carry parts for these types of bikes.

I see the video, and i see what they're showing, but I've also seen those things move and they're slugs off the line and top end didn't look too spectacular on our track. Perhaps with more of a run it can reach those speeds, they were driving quite a distance there.

They also say they're street legal, but that's not true either (in Canada anyways, no idea about the states).

The Xbikes were not known for quality, although I haven't heard anything about the newer models.

No I don't. I'd love to get a demo of one of these bikes so I could see if they were any good, but no dealers want to do that.

what bike do you have? i think i am going to get one of the new x18s 2007 they are the right size for me and i am not racing so it will do the job1 any ways they have stuff to make ot faster ( pipe, air filter, carb, high rev chips, lots of stuff and they can get it cheap to they have a package with all the stuff i just listed for like $250 that shou;d make it faster not insanly but good enough for me. and i also checked the laws were i live (maine,USA) and they are street legal if you get like two little cheap things like side mirrors or some thing like that.
