Czech native Pavel Blata first got involved with minibikes making parts for the Vittorazi minimoto company in the early 1990s. Expectedly, Blata was quickly hooked; before long, he was selling a line of his own bikes bearing his name.
Come 1996, Pavel Blata organized his own one-make class — the Blata Cup Racing Series — to be held throughout the Czech Republic. Equally represented by junior racers, female riders, and semi-pros alike, the series has seen winners go on to compete in the minimoto European Championships with great success.
Over the years, Blata has manufactured everything from scooters to pocket bikes to 125cc enduros. Minibike 2.5s are amongst the most common models you’ll find, as their small size and sporty looks provide the ideal canvas for a pint-sized race replica. In fact, Blata often imitates iconic racing liveries from bikes such as the Ducati’s NCR 900, Suzuki’s Lucky Strike RGV, Yamaha’s Red Bull YZR500 and even Honda’s Repsol CBR.
The example you see before you was meant to mimic the ever-appealing Ducati 888. Beneath its red bodywork, it’s powered by a 39cc two-stroke single — mated to an automatic clutch and a Dell’Orto 14 carb — good for a whopping 3hp and 2.6lb-ft of torque. While those figures might not sound like much on paper, they’re more than enough for a claimed 40mph top speed.
