We all seem to agree on these bikes, all we need now is somebody to come in and carve us all up for not recomending a CRF50 Ha Ha Ha.

If you can strech your budget definetly go MSO and get the best you can afford, once you start to ride you WILL to go harder and handle better, upgrading shocks costs big $$$ over buying them and upgrading later. You do get what you pay for so the more you spend the better you will go.

yeh, i agree with that order, i also agree with not getting direct from ebay, take a look & find their factory, while ur there u can a way better look & will probably find they are less, mi bike was like $750 on ebay & i went to the factory & got it for $620 & then saved $150 on postage, u need to see if it is ur size aswell, if when u hop on it u can just feel it is struggling like when u sit on one of the imported 50cc bikes then it tells u something

THanx guys for the info/help...............

just wondering how a MSO elite would go - i'm 33yo (and crusty) about 96kg - will i bog it down ?

still considering the pitpro off ebay for the kids and maybe this (alittle more expensive- not sure if its worth it)

No I don't do mutch jumpin and only rip around my yard and a few bush tracks, I am not a very good rider and my MSO scares the crap out of me flat chat. I have a mate who can ride very well and he weighs over 95kgs and has owns a 250cc Yamaha. He has ridden my bike and loves it, he is also selling his 250 to get a motovert.
Obviousley a 60kg kid will beat you on a cheapy if you weigh 95kgs but it will still be heaps of fun. You should give Ken at MSO a call he will help you out. I will PM you.

Check out this video for punnishment of pit bikes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42qvbze51ak
