Wow, after looking into it a little more, this thing is expensive. The only thing they sell you is basically the frame and swingarm, which is $970. You still need a donor xr50 for the engine, tank, seat, etc. Then you need a donor mountain bike for the forks, brakes, rims, etc.
I could easily see spending $3k plus on one of these, suddenly I'm a lot less interested. Also all the cools stunts in the video were probably with a bike that has the 150cc engine, not sure you can legally drive that. Still looks fun as heck though.
