2008 ProX 250 Opinions Please!

hello,

I am looking to upgrade from my pitbike to a 250. I am A bit limited with money as i am only 16 and saving for a car aswell. I have found this bike on ebay and it looks pretty good for the price 2008 BLACK ORION ProX 250cc DIRT BIKE TRAIL PIT THUMPST - eBay Other Trail Bikes, Trail Bikes, Motorcycles, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 15-Dec-07 14:40:00 AEDST) as it is water cooled etc. Does anyone own this bike or can anyone give me some sensible feedback if it will be ok?... i will just be using it for some recreational trail riding with some mates.

Thanks for the comments. Matt

hey matt, i'm thinking very seriously of buying one of these to replace my mini. they look pretty good. i think they would go pretty good out of the box and even better with a couple small mods like a bigger carbi( i think they only run a 30mm which i would upgrade to a 38 or 40mm), plus a bit of head work and finally an exhaust system( which might have to be custom made for this bike). pm me with any info you can find on this bike, would be very much appreciated. Callan

I wouldnt take an XR or TT or DR off a ramp either, but for farm, light trail and learning they are fine. Different strokes for different folks.
Remember you are only spending $1500 on a bike. Try get a decent jap for $1500. you be lucky to get an 85 XR250 for that. You wouldnt race a TTR-250 round a track so think of it like that. Both made for similar riding but you could almost buy a new bike for the cost of a rebuild on the ttr

well i don't really think you can beat a 1500 dollar bike even if it only last 18 months, i wouldn't use mine for racing or large jumps just something that i can flog around on the trails and dirt roads. You have to agree with me that its gonna be cheap fun, i think the motor will hold up with regular checks and services, i was looking at a xt 250 for 1500 dollars but it looks shit, its old and i wouldn't rely on it, i know china's aren't reliable but it will do until i get comfortable with big bikes and then i will purchase a kx250f.

Yeah fair enough mate.
