That's right, I headed up to our local super walmart to check out the selection of clones they had and found the GP Motorcycles, for only 14 buks!! I picked one up, I'm kinda disappointed, it runs great in a straight line but doesn't turn very well. They came in a little globe looking things and they are called MotorWorks. Pretty cool, I got one that looks like my real motorcycle, the black and silver one :)

I went to my local wal-mart and they didn't have these bikes. :( :( :( ... I was wondering if anyone here knows if their local wallymart has them in stock and if so could get me one and I send them the money.

Usagi I don't know if you've "been back home" but the wal-mart workers aren't the brightest bulbs. I have trouble most of the time getting any assistance in most departments because they don't have many workers. I didn't even bother to ask but I did troll the whole toy department and the only bikes i saw were big chunky tyco.

I saw the cheap globe cars that others have seen at walmart but not even a spot for a cheap 13.88 bike. I think the bikes people have seen are "clones" of bit char-g bikes.
(we can get along) :p

I may just call and ask .... even though I have no membership .... It's funny no one has talked to much more about the wallymart bikes.

Calling will atleast direct you in the correct direction. And maybe if they don`t have it at sams ask them if they might stock it. Then if thats the case the local walmarts stock them too:D.

Hey Gurs,
I was a Wal-Mart last night and I saw one of those GP Motorcycles too. There was only one motorcycle, and there weren't any cars. That's what I was looking for.

I got one They are made by Motor Works just like the globe cars. They were all in the same display mixed together for $13.88. They came in like 3 or 4 diffrent colors.

I have one of those Motor Works motorcycles from Wal Mart. They have very good detailing, and the quality seems very good.
I have a couple close up pictures of one in the Bit gallery forum.
Heres the link:

I just picked up one of the motorcycles to try out and was very disappointed. The bike wouldn't run without a push from behind, and would tip over when making turns. The motor didn't have enough torque to move the bike from a stop. I removed the rider, and the bike runs 200% better now. It looks a little funny, but it isn't as top heavy and can take off on it's own.

i got my microsizer clone there, and i seen those bikes. i was like those dont look so cool they have training wheels, but the clone was ok its cool because it comes with its own charging base that take 3 AAAs. and its just as fast as my stock microsizer pro 2.2 .
