[crazzy #1]

here is the one i found:

[eBay link removed as per forum guidelines]

they look OK :roll:

what are your verdicts :?:

 

[No-Fear]

no knock off bike will hold up for a long period of time, they will always have something break because of the low quality materials, if it is based on the crf/xr50, parts should be no problems as there are lots of online stores in AUS selling mini parts now.

[eBay link removed - don't repost the link]

 

[No-Fear]

PS. dont know why ebay links are being deleted now, since there are ads on this site linking ebay like this

Due to the eBay links being so long, when syndicating the forums posts on the homepage they are causing all kinds of problems.

As I said previously, it aint too much trouble to just post the contents of the eBay listing in the post instead of posting the link.

[the man]

The bike looks the goods, how much is the bidding going for? Looks like a full blooded race bike :lol:

 

[crazzy #1]

yea thats what i thought, i like it. one sold for $879 im saving and trying to sell things i dont need to friends

 

[minidirt]

For the price these things are golden, i own a simmiler rip off to this one,
problems are useless rear shocky, fixed that by drilling a hole in it and re filling with oil, weakm footpegb mount, easily reinforced and super crappy chains sprockets, although this one may have decent ones.
The engine? No joke faster than a Real 125cc thumpstar and dead even to a 3 valve 110 that had been ported, the power these thing put out is quite impressive realy, for a cheapo anyway.

 

[crazzy #1]

well seeing i have forgoten what a valve is and the difference it makes if you have less or more, would anyone be kind enough to elaberate on that? (i had been told at work experiance but it didnt stick to in my head i just wanted to rebuild a engine, and drive the lawnmowers back into the garage)

LMFAO :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: how many horse power does your knock off have?
once u tell me your HP i will tell you mine.

Dude your real thumpstar (if its a Pro 125cc) is only 7kw @ 7500rpm at stock.

The 125cc ones which gazza, eatslikehomer and i have are 8.3kw @9000rpm stock.

That's fact - you're not bulletproof!

 

[crazzy #1]

now dont get carried away, i just wanted an answer to my question not a disagrement like childs play :twisted:

 

[Bromley]

I'm in China and I just finished a new Dirtbike that puts this and the thumpstar to shame.

I've got 125cc, 110cc water cooled and 110cc. All aluminum frame or Chromly steel. All parts are alloy pretty much.

I'll post pics and stats later. I'll be looking for an AU distributor soon. I just spent the last 5 days hammering on it, jumping it etc. Almost done working out the minor flaws. (stupid stuff like the fearing getting pressed into muffler by ur leg n stuff like that.)

lmao 1.3KW bit difference there, pitty your bike doing it at 9krpm and i doubt u would eva hit 9krpm. :roll:
i asked for HP at rear wheel come on where your answer? a stock crf will have more HP than your bike.
my engine has been worked and has well over 13HP.
now get out & ride.

 

[fecksfx]

Pull your head in No Fear. 1.3kW extra = 19% more power than a standard thumpstar. Not bad for a cheaper bike.

 

[crazzy #1]

do you think that the front wheel would hit the engine, over jumps, or would it clear and miss?

 

[No-Fear]

try it and see, the forks look like they are on a huge lean aswell are they bent ?

 

[crazzy #1]

dude i dont own this bike yet, im just susing it out before i buy anything that might have problems like that? does ur front wheel hit the engine when u go over jumps NO-FEAR?

i have been told by a seller of mini dirt bikes that the new 125cc engine is made in japan, yes japan not china. very strong and powerfull.
