kx 80 or dhz monster pro 140cc

hi i'm gonna get a new bike and can only get either the dhz monster pro 140cc for $1350 + $150 postage or a guy up the road selling a 1990 model kx 80 which is pretty rough for $1500 ,do you rekon the dhz would be better than an old jap 80?

go with the kawaski mate, china bikes may look all well until u have it a while and its broken and stuffed. where if u buy the kawaski you will be able to sell it to somone else when u need to upgrade to a bigger bike becuase u cant sell a second hand china bike...

depends what type of riding you will do

yes the kx is a jap bike and better quality but its not a pitty to me

if your buying a bike for ''pity'' riding then go for the 140

Exactly my thoughts too.
A small dirtbike will never be a fun 'pitbike', I think they're different in terms of fun factor.

I would go for the dhz mate. I just bought one and they are awesome bikes in terms of value for money. Loads of power for a pit bike and there were only a very few minor things that i was dissapointed with. I own a cr125 as well and although the dhz is not auite up to the same standard as the jap bike it will give u hours of fun riding.
