Hey guys meant to get around to doing this before now. but i spose later is better then never. i wanted to buy a pit bike for ages but wasnt even sure what bike was what or what quility was what . so i just started looking on sites an then came on here. i finally came to decision to purchuse a motovert 160 r from " city motorcycles " in furntree gully melbourne. i got it for 2,000 marked down from 2,500 so not to bad in the end and dom from the shop let me pay it off as well which was fantastic. the service at city motorcycles is absoultely fantastic. nothing is to hard and they'll answer any questions with ease.
so i when i picked up the bike it was assemmbled and ready to ride. it had oil an fuel in it. i didnt have to touch anything at all just kick it over an ride it . which is what i did . all the parts looks really imprerssive an nicely finished . i went over every nut an bolt on the bolt before i rode it the next day . nothing was overly loose or incorrectly installed. which was really great, an a little surprising. i didnt have to touch the carby at all which was good. the bike feels really good when riding just the same as a big bike . i previously owned a wr400, i have had a little bit experiance with bikes but not all that much all the same. i ran the bike in for 2 tanks an medium riding . i went with me mate and his crf 450. the bike rode like a dream not one thing went wrong. except a grip coming off lol which i wasnt to worried about . so after the 2 tanks , changed the oil and cleaned the paper gauze filter, filled it back up with freash oil. tightend the chain abit. it had strethed from new. an i have cained ever since . all up i have prolly done 8 hrs riding. absoultely nothing has gone wrong its unbeliavble. i ride it like hell but look after it like a baby, wash it after every ride go over everything after every ride. the tyres after 8 hours a surprising good . kenda carlsbad tyres the rear is proberly half worn an ther front is only proberly 30 % worn . iv done all sorts of riding from rocky hill climbs to swapy muddy 4x4 tracks. so iv given the tyres a pretty good caining aswell . i was looking at a DHZ 160 outlaw. but a closer look at the shop at the 2 bikes just showed the motovert has all the small touches with better quility finish.
prolly the thing that annoys me most about the moto 160 is the air box set up was a disapointment. u have to pull the rear plastics off and the seat to pull the full air box out . then once its out u have to pull the air box apart. give it ya clean an pit all back together. so i just put the free uni filter i got with the bike.. heeps better to clean. less messing around . im just gana get a spare to chuck on in the future once the current one gets dirty. i didnt notice any power difference either from the a/box to the uni . i was told i would get more power with uni which i didnt notice i wasnt to bortherd.
so yeah its not a big fancy review going into every nook an cranny of every detail. im to impatient for that lol. i highly recommed the bike . really good quility an design the ergos a brillant ! . i wanna get the bigger barrel and piston set up on the go very soon . should get it going better again . o did i mention out of the box the bike HAMMERS !!. here a some photos of the rig hope u enjoyed this reveiw attempt, if theirs any other questions or something u wanna know bout the bike just post back ill answer .
