if your interested in one ill sell you my alloy framed GP3 rep for cheap as with a spare motor. (40cc 5 port atm) I never use it anymore now i have the euros.
there a powerful little 40cc 3 port but they have a ton of problems on the clutch and pump side that needs fixing immediately. the pipe sucks as well.
the stock GRC style frames also come twisted if thats the "gp3" your looking at
the chinese just took the most complex design out there and did a crap job at translating it basically. everything is half arsed and really nothing works together in the end.
Hi Glen,
Mate i have a 50cc rc40 replica with a polini 5 port motor that i import and i would put it against any euro bike,sq makes these bikes ,all chinesse bikes are not crap you just have to know what you are buying.
I hope it was not a SQ Siko,as i would be very surprised if it was twisted,i been importing sq"s for 3 years ,and touch wood ,i have not had a bad one yet.
But this day an age you are bound to get an odd one ,the same with anything i guess.
two guys here in sa have them both of them have been converted to a normal engine setup (no reverse) they are a good bike imo, the stock engines are crap yes!!, but the frame it self is very good!!!, i have a genuine grc rsr and one of our juinors (blata boy) has ridden both my rsr and his dad gp3 he sed he loved both only real big difference was the brakes and foot peg's all stuff that can be changed hope this is useful sumed up id say they are worth the money but need engineering to make them work

i think everythings been said that needs to be. they do go nice i was tempted to put my dreambike motor in there and continue using it, but i dont like the brake setup at all and what not.
mine was an SQ - its stamped into the trees and motor
had to drill out the hole on the motor mount end and reweld the back end to get the tyre to sit right, it was on a pretty savage angle. maybe this one was just a one off. but none the less.
do you run ultimate micro superbikes? i think it may have come from there. was almost 3 years ago i got it now though cant remember.
its a shame the proper GP3 frame ones arent so easy to come by, id love to convert one with a BZM motor. would be a very competitive bike. but yeah. i guess my sentiments would be i wish the bikes didnt need a big old cash injection to get them competitive. cause they have a lot going for them.
BTW wbr out of curiousity is there anything much needed to get the polini in there? just flip the brakes and wheel over and it all lines up or new spacers needed? guess youd need to fabricate a top end mount as well.
we have not done one yet ,one of riders has and was very simple just had to mod a few things rover done his own he would no as his is a z1 engine
