Blata

Anybody have any experience with a pocket bike made by a company called blata?

 

Blata's one of the better brands, but they all require TLC and upkeep or they fall apart.

 

yes , what would you like to know ? I use to own a 13wr a couple different 2.5s and a b1-c1 .

Ditto

Don't buy Chinese.

Polini's are good+

GRC's are A+

 

We raced Blatas for years, the 2.6 and the 6.2. Won a championship with SCMiniGP and even won the Polini Cup on one.





We removed the stock air filter, jetted them up, and ran them very hard. As a result they would vibrate themselves to death sometimes. Always had to have a spare pipe because they would crack, and the carbs were prone to cracking where they clamped onto the intake manifold if you over-tightened them.

 

Yes...

look at my avatar...

That's an Origami that we were having to "show some love" to.

the 2.5 was fun too

 

We started on a Blata 2.5, too. Blata is a better brand, but below Polini's, GRC's, and some other higher end brands. They had a Blata cup out here. You were contantly tinkering and I was glad to move up to a NSR. However, the RS125 Honda required much more work than a Blata.

If you want to talk Blata or Polini give Frank Giannini a call:

Frank worked at Cosmo for years when they were importing Blata, Polini, GRC, etc....before he left and started getting involved in making top flight engine mods and developing those bikes to their full potential. Here is a link to his sick 4stroke pocket bike:

had a Polini 6.2 several years ago.what a beast.it had to be ridden with care or it would wheelie out from under you at most any throttle setting.
it scared the bejeezus out of a lot of my "big"bike friends.
