Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the Polini 910 Carena: a motorbike small enough to put on your mantelpiece, but real enough to ride!
From the article at Motorcycle.com:
Basically, pocket bikes, also known as minimotos, are not mini-bikes in the traditional sense. They are miniature GP racing motorcycles, accurate in proportion to GP bikes and include many of the same component materials such as disc brakes, alloy and billet aluminum cast perimeter frame and swingarm. They are so small they many be perfect as a decoration piece. However, pocket bikes are manufactured to be ridden.
Our test bike, the 910 Carena, represented the middle ground of the Polini pocket bike line-up. The air-cooled, single-cylinder, two-stroke motor only produces a little over six horsepower, but there is a lot of potential in this pocket bike. Bear with us as we try to explain to you what its like to ride this Italian micro-bike less than a foot off the ground at speeds up to 40 miles-per-hour.
They called it a two-stroke motor?! It’s a two-stroke engine, people. There’s a difference.
All I can say is that you’d better be the toughest (or hottest) biker of the gang if you want to ride one of these in Quebec.
