Some general questions..

Hey all.. Got a question for ya

I'm going to buy a dirtbike soon.
I'm quite new to all this (but I know how to drive) and then my question is: What bike should I get?
They should be about 250-350 dollars, manual, 110/125cc, looks doesn't matter. And I'm probably not going to be riding on a track, it will be in like a backyard and some rubbleroads.

Help me!

Thanks.

One more question:

Loncin stuff: Good/bad?
My friend had a Loncin engine on his dirtbike (110cc) and he NEVER had a single problem with it. It always started on the first kick, whatever the weather was.

you can't get a bike for that much mate, you gotta double your budget then you'd be looking at an atomik nitrous or a pitpro 125rr, these bikes are very basic and cheap so don't expect too much but they'll get the job done.
loncin isn't very common, lifan and yx are the main ones now and lifan would be the better one

Thanks for the quick answer.

Wow, dubble price you say? Can't afford it then.. But I've seen some 125cc for around 250-350 dollars when they're already been used (don't know the word)..

Is Orion good stuff?

nah orion is junk, yea you can get one second hand for that much but'll most likely be trashed
brands to be careful of, pitpro, atomik, orion, tdr in order of best to worst.
you can't really be picky on that budget, just try to get something that's not too trashed, test ride it to make sure all the gears change smoothly and it's not too hard to start, check that it doesn't blow too much smoke

I'll try and see if I can get an Atomik bike for.. 250-400 dollar So I shouldn't buy it on second hand?

for 250-350 it has been thrashed hard and probably hardly any life left in it...save a little bit longer and buy a brand new bike, atleast u know its not thrashed and someone hasn't mucked around with the engine

Welcome to DHZ Mini Moto Australia, High Quality Pitbikes & 50's Hopup Parts

great value pitbikes, i have the 140 outlaw, i thrash it pretty hard and it hasn't broken

sorry to say but basicaly anything under $1000 wont be 'good stuff'.

atomik and pitpro are ok, if your just going to be riding it around your yard or something then they will probably be fine but they're still not exactly good quality.

an extra $300 to buy an atomik or pitpro shouldn't be too hard to round up though?

Wow.. This looks dark for me right now

these bikes aren't that great brand new so second hand is just junk really,
if you're patient you can get an atomik 125 for between $500-600 brand new, if you live in melbourne you can pick it up so no postage cost
