| | | what to buy???
hey im around 105kg and 6ft and looking to buy a pit would you recommend the pitpro 140xr or 150xr or the atomik nitrous 140 or 150 obviously im going to have to replace chain, oil, rim and tyres but wondering if they will have enough power to pull me along and whether the suspension will be good enough or not??? and can i buy a fastace rear shock for the nitrous bikes?? also YX or Lifan???
cheers

Have you CONSIDERED other Bikes such as the Pitster Pro X4R???
The 2009 Model X4R's are pretty well built and in around 4 weeks time will come with the ALL NEW Pitster Pro 155Z Crate Engine which is turing heads in USA...meaning they are pretty damb good 
BUT Depends on how much you want to spend. These X4R's will Retail at around $2600 NEW.

why not buy a KLX110 they only like 3k brand new....
Then if you want to turn it into something ridable for us adults you'll need to spend another 2/3k....
kidding...

There is a fair difference in power between the lifan 140 and 150 I dont know too much about the YX motors. I have a lifan 140, weigh 80 - 85 kg and its good for fun on tight track but certainly not a powerhouse. A mate has the 150 and it has heaps more power as it has an ORK fitted, bigger carb, mild cam, slightly bigger exhaust. Its really fun to ride and very responsive. If you can afford the 150 you wont regret it, especially as you weigh more. I'm not sure about a Fastace shock to suit the midsise xr's but I'm sure someone on here has one with an upgraded shock.

xr's have a cheap fastace on them, they're not too bad, try riding the xr then jump on an 125rr, man that things a pogo stick
