Dont hesitate, Buy now>

Seriously though that is a very vague question, Are you looking a buying something & want advice? or just making a general fairly open thread?

I dont have $2000 spare at the moment but I am building one of these very soon>

If you are looking for a bike??? What sort of bike do you want & what sort of riding do you mostly do?

 

[aussie_140]

yeah sort of looking for a bike. ive already got a pitpro 150xr that im happy with at the moment but i was looking more to a big bike, 125 or 250

 

[aussie_140]

what kind of big bikes do you guys have?

 

[THUMPINOZ]

Really need to know what sort of riding you do, If your going to ride on mostly MX tracks then go for an MX bike, If you wanna ride enduro/long distance get a big four stroke, Its much like asking how long is a piece of string

How experienced of a rider are you? How much power do you need etc etc? In the end it is up to you after considering all the different factors

The thumpertalk forum would be a good place to ask but again you are going to get a million different opinions & it is still up to you to decide

The old XR's are really reliable & easy & cheap for parts>

my dad has a xr250 it seems a bit underpowered on the mx tracks. i mostly ride mx tracks and bush here and there.
my weight is 55kg and about 170cm tall. 125s feel a little under powered, but if i found one that had a bit of work down to it it would be okay.
hope that helps

 

[aussie_140]

what are xr400s like?

Yeah thats why I said to get an MX bike if you ride MX tracks, An XR400 wont be any more fun on a track unless you modify heavily with CRF forks & work the motor etc, If you wanna ride enduro etc then the XR400 will be perfect, They can be pretty fast bikes but just dont quite have the same suspension & power hit like CRF450's but for under $2000 you can expect much

There is plenty of nice XR400's etc in the ebay link I sent you

 

[aussie_140]

yeah i seen a few, was thinking a cr250.. an older one but '97ish

 

[THUMPINOZ]

Yeah the old CR's are not too bad, Nothing like the power of the newer 2-strokes but still fun, I would go for an XR400 & work it so it can be almost as good on the track & then you can also rego it & ride wherever you want

 

[aussie_140]

Yeah thanks buddy

 

[motovert24]

x4r or motovert pro (the 2010 model), personly im not going to buy another pitbike unless its a Pitster pro LXR, save up the extra 400 i reckon if not motovert pro 150

 

[aussie_140]

Yeah I reckon the 2012 motovert 160s look sick!

 

[motovert24]

there acutally pstos the newer motoverts, find a psto there cheaper..
im talking about the klx style motovert pro has a daytona and marzocchi forks and elka rear shock, once i get a bigbike i may try find one myself

 

[aussie_140]

Yeah I've gotta get a big bike as well haha. What are you going to get?

 

[motovert24]

hopefully a 2 stroke of some kind. rm125 or cr125 maybe even 250 2 stroke or 250f
