Why are derbi's so desirable?
Whats the deal with derbi's?
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
They are variated and they're easy to make fast. Plenty of aftermarket parts available too. Plus once it becomes the "in" bike, everyone wants one, just like magnums were.

They are not copys of Sachs G-3. Did I menshion I have a Sachs G-3? It is a great putt.

Derbi rules the 2-stroke 50cc genre. From variated mopeds to 50cc dual sports to 50cc sport bikes. Derbi has won 8 gpr world championships.

revolutionnnnnn
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?

Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
I think you meant "revolucion"
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
derbis are gay.
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
The only derbi I rode was straight, it didn't hit on me.
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
Lamborghini never made a moped. They left that up to Derbi.
honestly, they are amazing bikes. The dual variation coupled to a chain drive is the ultimate variated setup. The engines are powerful as hell, too. Mine pulled like crazy even going up hill.
They are a pain in the ass to work on, though. And mine was completely spastic. Everything it did was unpredictable. Acceleration, cornering, braking... completely random. Oh, and don't ever push-start that mofo if you don't want to watch it ghost-ride into the nearest obstacle.

Because Matthew Broderick.

^^^^^
They're only "in" because they're quick, well engineered, produced with quality and reliable. They're "in" in the same way that anything that's made well is.
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
Quality is levels above all other mopeds I've ridden. REeally great engineering on every part of these bikes.
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
i rode willies mild ass kitted one and it ripped harder than my french turd i put over grand into. that moment, i fully understood the derbi hype
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
They are like mopeds, but better.
Oh and they are also mopeds
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
They're bigger than most mopeds, and I really like the riding position, and brakes. I'll never sell mine,
.................... plus, I only paid $75 for it.
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
Derbi knew what they were doing.
They made one engine for all markets and restricted how they needed to sell in each market.
Flat reeds for America come restricted on the variator and the intake.
They restricted them in a way that made it so easy for any one with a big enough socket could derestrict them.
Carb + pipe = 45+mph.
With a mild port job and removing 3 variator weights. Your in the 50 range. On a stock cylinder!!
Re: Whats the deal with derbi's?
It's sad mine gets ridden less than once a year.
