Wanting everyones thoughts please

[djeuro1981]

Hi Guys,

Totally new to the scene of pitbikes and im about to make my first ever purchase, i went on to gumtree and have found a pitster pro 160cc bike wich is a 2011 model and has had only 11hours of riding on it, the owner is female and it was bought for her as a birthday present but she is too scared to ride it as its too fast for her and scares her, i am getting the bike for $800 and was wondering if this is a good price, it still has the original tyres on it and she has all receipts for the bike also

Wondering what everyones thoughts are with this purchase "am i getting it for a good price" i have looked around and everyone says go pitster bikes as they are built too last

Thanks

what model bike is it? if it really is in that good a nick your getting a great deal regardless of the model, but if it happens to be a lxr then you are laughing!!

were the 2011 LXR's KLX style ? they come out with YX150's.
looks like an X4R to me

looks to be a x4r to me to craig, not that that is a downer, dnm shock, gpx forks strong frame sounds like a winner to me being that its not a lxr ( they have linkage rear end) i would try for 700, never no might get it for that and have a 100 bucks to spend on upgrades

 

[djeuro1981]

so this bike would beat any other chinese bike like atomik and TDR and Assassin ect! "meaning" stronger build qaulity

and she wont budge on the $800 mark..hope im not getting ripped off

No mate $800 for an X4R in good condition is a good buy IMO.

There's $600 worth of suspension on the thing not to mention the HD swingarm. Pretty sure they come with HD rims too.

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

definitely not getting ripped off at 800, i just thought it worth a try at 700 it will last longer than all the cheap brands for sure.

oh also is it a good bike to do jumps with?? will it hold up i weigh 83 kilos

 

[Snaptrax]

Mate you could jump it as far as you want. They are a extremely strong bike.
Trust us youll love it.

Geez its done a HARD 11hrs if thats how much tread is left on the rear tyre....

 

[Snaptrax]

Uhhh Wot. Thats a good tyre mate.
I get around 10hours out of a tyre and i dont really even thrash it.

thats until it gets to around 3mm of tread on it.
That tyre has over a cm on it.

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

[djeuro1981]
