Check out this article on Cycle World where they ran a Z125 Pro in a 24 hour minibike race against a bunch of Groms & other small bikes. Looks like a lot of fun.

I'm thinking about doing something similar to mine and taking it to the local kart track. Does anyone know of any other Z125s that have been modified for racing? Maybe in Asia where they have been out longer than here in the US?

Thanks for posting this. I talked with a friend who is close to the team and found it very interesting that the engine was bone stock with the exception of intake, exhaust and Bazzaz. No oil cooler! That is pretty good test of reliability.

Tires should be your first investment if you want to track or race the Z125. Looks like they chose Dunlop TT93. Bark buster style guards for the levers seems like a good investment too.

You should get hooked up with Mini Moto Racing. That crew goes to Apex out in Perris and welcomes all levels of experience. Look them up on Facebook along with UMRA who put in the 24 hour race at Grange Kart Track.

Anyone figure out what pipe that thing had on it?

I'm amazed nothing major broke down during the grueling long races like that Zuma. They had to weld the thing.

Two Brothers if I'm not mistaken.

I think you are right. I have only seen their CF exhaust and not the cone style. Wish they had a better pic of it.
