Hey guys just starting out in this game and just wondering if i could get some advice form those in the know or even from those not....anything is appreciated.
Im just looking at getting my first mini and ive got 2 possible options.
I can get my hands on a new Pitpro 160 Type R for $1550 or an Genuine 06 Thumpstar Pro 125 for about $2000. The Thumster was bought by a bloke for his son who has only ridden it for 30 mins max he says. The bike looks like it has just been taken out of the box. even the head of the exhaust where is attaches to the engine is still silver/chrome with the slightest yellow/gold on it. Started first kick and sounded like it was running Ace. The only prob is that it is yes i know 4 years old regardless and has been sitting around therefore no warranty etc. but it seems to be a better built bike in mist respects. i love the 160. its new and i know they go hard etc.
So im not sure what to do. i think the thumpstar is expensive but just need someone in the knows opinion as like i said im new. are both bikes reputable or is 1 the clear winner here?
Sorry if someone has already asked about this but ive been trawling around reading everyones threadds for a while now and cant find much on either bike.
Anyway ive rambled on for a bit now and any help would be greatly appreciated. ill see if i can get some photos of the thumpstar up here 2 if that helps
cheers :alc:
