need help choosing second hand bike

[roostyamates]

sorry to be that person but could i ask for some help choosing a pit bike as i have little experience and dont want to get ripped off.
here are my options

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/launceston-7250/motorcycles/2013-dhz-125/1057296779 for $700

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/penguin/motorcycles/atomik-nitrous-160cc-pit-bike/1062455717 for $450

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/george-town/motorcycles/pitster-pro-/1063546367
for $850

although there is a few i have seen on facebook for sale they all seem dodgey and flogged.

The first one is too dear, so is the last
the Nitrous for $450 looks alright ,
the 160 has decent power, if you wanted to later on, you could always but a big bore kit on it, and a ported race head

you really need to take someone there with you to check it out.
take it for a test ride etc
ask the seller if you get it home and find the gearbox is stuffed if he'll refund you ?


a lot of member's here started out on the Atomik Nitrous,
check out some of these threads http://www.miniriders.com/search.php?searchid=298695

yeah i thought it was a decent price for $450, i am taking some one with me and we will be test riding it, do these bikes have a history of faulty gear boxs?
oh okay, the link says 'sorry, no matches'
thanks for the reply

the link works for me ?

click on search up in the header, then enter Atomik Nitrous, and select search titles only
there is about 200 threads on them

 

[roostyamates]

okay thanks

Nitrous is grouse, gearbox on mine held up! All round good value for YA money!

 

[roostyamates]

so would you say a 2011 atomik nitrous 160 for $450 is a good buy? did you have any other proplems on yours? if so what? and is there anything i should or probably need to replace?

 

[noypi160cc]

thats a good buy.the engine alone will cost you about that price.i have the atomik reign 160. same engine and still have the engine now fitted on my motovert type r. already done approx.30 hours and still going strong. just replace the oil everyride or second ride.and make sure the air filter is clean.

 

[roostyamates]

yeah i thought so too, its going well and i will be replacing the oil quite regularly and keeping the filter clean too!
