Gen thumpstar - pitster pro info

which would be better
thumpstar or pister pro x4r
wots the price
which has a stronger frame (jumps)
better stocks, build etc

thanks for any advise lads
did start out seriously about the mso elite but i would like to see what their building next, but now i think i might spend a bit more for a reliable/stronger built bike?

thumpstars are american built? aint they? wot about the pitster pro ? also the moto vert pro - is it bigger than these bikes eg size? would like something that is more comfortable for a tall person?

i got a quote on a Pisterpro 125 x3r and that was $3600 (so obviously the x4r will be higher)

whereas a new thumpstar Pro is around $4600 i beleive

well freerider mag recently did a test day for $3000 plus pitbikes,

and even a $3000+ bike snapped BOTH foot pegs clean off on the first test lap, (NOT THE PISTERPRO)

so just cause its expensive, things can and will still break!!!

To answer your first question regarding to the frames. Thump got the best replica BBR frame so far in the market, which is also the main reason you need coin that much for it. For x4r it has enlarge the chromo frame which gives rider a big bike feel. Now your second quiz the answer is no, both Thumpy and Pitsterpro arn't American build they had the factory established by the company in China and Taiwan. Third quiz my bro order the x4r for me and my old man paid around 3.2k for it so its actually cheaper than thumpy as well as motoverpro. I've just about to done some size comprison between standard 125 crf mini and mine x4r will post the result but I am pretty sure the x4r is the wise way to go since you were mentioned you are tall dude.

Since I m the big fan for Pitsterpro I would really like to clearly out your statement, coz you sound try to imply it was Pitsterpro got the pad snapped, which actually is the Pro50z bike.
