Do any of you use a pit bike?

Since I'm one of the event organizers/setup/tear down guys, I can blow through a 16g tank of diesel in a day just driving around the track, working corners, cones, etc.

I'm looking for #1: comments #2: suggestions.

#1: Are things like pit bikes 'acceptable' around race events? Please realize that I'm very sheltered at my local track and I'm sure we to tons of non 'PC' things. There are about 20 hard core guys that always race and we are all very comfortable with each other, so small things not directly related to safety tend to slide.

#2: I'm looking for a ~50cc pit bike/moped. Has to be small as I'm limited on space in my trailer.

I'm trying to max out at $1k, $5-700 is my preferred price range. Obviously I'm looking for something used. Street legal doesn't matter.. I don't want to have to pay for Title/Registration/Insurance if I can absolutely avoid it. Track only vehicle.

Does anyone have a small bike like this forsale... maybe to bring to nashville?

Thanks.

I'm waiting for BigEnos or Sam to chime in because a friend of ours named Mike Snyder has IMO the perfect pit bike, but I have no idea what it is other then a Yamaha. It's light, has enough power and doesn't have all the excessive body work that makes most pit bikes heavy and hard to load onto a trailer.
