Lots of restrictions there.. No Chinese Pro or std CAGS.. No Minitard over 140cc.. Lock wiring and catch cans..
Why anyone would think that MA is the answer for Minimoto is mad.. If anything it makes it extremely hard for newcomers and young kids to get into it, then there's the extra cost of MA license and having to wear certain protective gear and the extra cost to get bikes up to spec..
