Forza pitbikes???

[AntNZ]

Hi, anyone here ever heard of FORZA pitbikes. I would like to get another lxr but cant get one anywhere here in NZ newer than 2012.
These forza pitbikes look like almost japanese quality, strongest looking frames i have seen, DNM rear shock, fastace fully adj front forks. Dont know much bout fastace forks, how do they compare to gpx black label(lxr)?
You can find these bikes at Buy online and sell with NZ's #1 auction & classifieds site | Trade Me
The model im looking at is forza fxr 155z SE, Has red frame.
very keen on these bikes, dont have linkage rear but everything else on these bikes looks like top quality..... and of course, PRICE difference compared to lxr.

What are other peoples opinions??

Thanks

I really enjoy seeing companies put "racing use" next to 90% of all the parts haha.

But aside from that mate they look like a pimped out Foxico or Atomik fuse with Crf70 plastics.
Im not sure about paying $2.800 for one as you could nearly get a Pitster Pro Lxr for that price.
I ride an Lxr and havent ridden anything that comes close to it. And trust me i have ridden a lot of different bikes.

In my opinion spend the bit extra and get yourself a Lxr. You wont regret it.

I have an lxr already and yeah they are great. That $2800 price tag is for the big wheel model, standard 14/12 model is $2400. I just find it hard to get any sort of aftermaket plastics/graphics for it. Not many options for ttr style. Black or white....thats it!
There is a nitro circus LE model here for $2900. Is shop display, hasnt been ridden just started up a couple of times.
Still it is only 2012 model.....ttr style

Might be worth it still?

Not worth getting anything from overseas as customs here in NZ have really clamped down on imported products. Anything over $200 gets held in customs until you pay GST,customs duty and handling!!

I just recieved an RC plane from US, it cost $400us to buy, cost me another $360NZD before they would release from customs and send to me.......WTF!

If this wasnt the case i would order 2016 lxr at the drop of a hat, crf150 style plastics etc.

The FORZA FXR155Z SE look's alright, price's on Trademe are between $2050 and $2799 ( ad's were placed in 2014 ? )
But won't have the quality feel of an LXR, bit expensive too
Do you want a 12/14 or a 14/17 ?

Im pretty sure the latest LXR here is the 2013 Nitro Circus model ?
Same as this which is $2900 there, they are $2499 currently here.

I wonder if DHZ would ship a 2015 Outlaw 160 linkage bike over there ? They are $2100 atm, and have linkage and a lot of decent part's, might be worth a call or email ?
Or get a price to ship an LXR?

I have already emailed DHZ about lxr with daytona 190, they reckon shipping cost would be insane, they are going to get back to me on monday with exact price, but will probably cost an extra grand to get through customs. options are limited, anything bought in aus already has GST on it, dont see why i should have to pay GST again once it gets here plus all their other bogus taxes.
probably better off just buying 2012 lxr nitro circus LE locally, $80 delivery anywhere in nz.

 

[my67xr]

I guess you'd buy it tax free ( minus 10%) from here using an import tax exemption form, then pay the NZ 15% GST when it arrive's.
It was pretty cheap to send stuff over to NZ a couple of year's ago.
I was on a Yamaha forum a while ago and a couple of member's were importing bike's from Aus to NZ for under $600 all up.
Was something like shipping $400, inspection fee $57, port fee $55, and ACC-levy and inspection fee was $75
One even brought in a Kawasaki KX500 ? from US, cost under $800 to bring into NZ
But price's may have gone up since then


Also look into air freight, much cheaper than via boat


Buying the LXR will save you a lot of money on upgrade's to almost any other bike.

I still have 2x pitpro 140 and ktm 250sxf in aus, should get new lxr sent to mates place and get all 4 bikes sent over to nz.
Buuutt! i really love having bikes over there that i can ride whenever i visit mates(all dirt bike riders)or are just over there on holiday.
