kx 80 or dhz monster pro 140cc

[brazza]

hi i'm gonna get a new bike and can only get either the dhz monster pro 140cc for $1350 + $150 postage or a guy up the road selling a 1990 model kx 80 which is pretty rough for $1500 ,do you rekon the dhz would be better than an old jap 80?

I would go the jap 80 but that's just me.

go with the kawaski mate, china bikes may look all well until u have it a while and its broken and stuffed. where if u buy the kawaski you will be able to sell it to somone else when u need to upgrade to a bigger bike becuase u cant sell a second hand china bike...

i would go the kx, but tell him 1.5 is bull shit, it's worth under 1k

 

[brazza]

i don't know about the kx 80 it's pretty dam rough and takes a fair bit to start and sounds like shit, i want a bike for a bit of jumping and the kx's fork seals have blown and little things like that and massive dents , i think i'lle just by the dhz monster pro 140cc

You'll regret it.

depends what type of riding you will do

yes the kx is a jap bike and better quality but its not a pitty to me

if your buying a bike for ''pity'' riding then go for the 140

Exactly my thoughts too.
A small dirtbike will never be a fun 'pitbike', I think they're different in terms of fun factor.

I would go for the dhz mate. I just bought one and they are awesome bikes in terms of value for money. Loads of power for a pit bike and there were only a very few minor things that i was dissapointed with. I own a cr125 as well and although the dhz is not auite up to the same standard as the jap bike it will give u hours of fun riding.

Being as old and crappy as you said the kx was I would personally take the DHZ. The KX sounds like it has had a hard life and is unreliable and probably needs a lot of work done to it.

I've ridden a 1990 KX80 before and enjoyed it, but the 140 is a whole new ballgame and it'll be in new and shiny condition. So what if it'll break ... they all break!

i sold my 2000 80 for $500 (needed a bottom end, and top end rebuild)

Yeah im with Ruby on this one too. If they were both new id go the 80 but as its old. Those things cost a shitload to fix if anything goes wrong. The dhz will cost you very little to fix, and after the flogging mine has had i doubt you will need to fix it ever.
