It would have to be bullsh*t fast to warrant spending $2000. And reliable as well. I'd want to get 2 or 3 years of hard abuse out of it for that much money.
 
hey are dirtmax egines any good??
and are they pricey?
i reallllyyyy want to get a 150cc engine....
i would look up the price and stuff myself but the bloody packys over in woop woop screwed up my internet and its running like crap sooo
 
The best engine they've got ATM is the YX160 and I'm pretty sure it was priced at $799 + postage ... With the AUD being low compared to the USD ... I'd say any newer model engines are going to be priced higher ... The Japs are copping it ATM and are in a recession ... maybe it's time they lowered the price of their dirtbikes ... Ykjohnson contacted me today to take a look at his new prices which he says "reflect the down turn in the world economy" ... Anyone who states prices in US dollars is going to hear the sound of wallets slamming shut bigtime ... :p When you have a good think about it ... it's not too bright a move to increase the value of your currency when your country's economy is taking a nose dive like the US is ... Are people dyslexic or something ... IF you're going broke and you make your exports cost more ... you are slitting your own throat ... DUMBASSES ... :p The yanks are now paying the price for over valuing their goods ... just like the goons in the real estate sector ... sucko to the lot of 'em ... I've been telling everyone the economy is going to crash for years ... Look at how many cars go into the cities every day ... every one of those workers is getting paid ... some get huge pays ... but there is no saleable product being produced ... The BS HAS to crash sooner or later ...
 
couldnt agree more cactus :) us older guys remember the last recession but most young guys and gals were too young to realise and having been living the high life oh dear if it turns to poo wont they get a shock.

but ur comments on the americans are you surprised that they keep pushing their luck and bringing themselves down?? I know i wasnt lol

Wee are already seeing a change in pitbike sales on ebay I just wonder how far it will go?? also be interesting if it affect sale prices of s/h jap bikes??

Wasnt this 169 and 4 valve head brought up a while back?? or am i the only one feeling the deja vu?
 
they need a new name I reckon 'dirtmax' sounds shit


"hey guys, I have a dirtmax!"

motovert, terra moto, pitster pro, are all good names... dirtmax is gay. hmmm I'd still buy it though....
 
No ... I'm not surprised about anything Panda ... I warned yank sellers that they were headed for failure with their high prices from around 2 years ago on Planet Minis and Thumpertalk ... It's easy to put 2 and 2 together to understand where things are heading in the bigger picture ... Look at the Japs ... they were complete FOOLS for not producing pit bikes in the form that we like 'em for an affordable price ... They threw away billions in lost revenue by ignoring the market ... But China was smart and raked in all the cash ... Now they've got the wealth to weather the global crash ...

Now that is a ridiculous comment! Cant break them? Come on now, think about that comment for a minute.

As Cactus once posted

Everybody knows , everybody knows ... that's how it goes ... everybody knows ....
:p :p :p
 
The MOLKTS are only a 24 mm carb ... and since they are a copy of a VM-26 Mikuni ... I'd say THEY are only a 24 mm carb as well ... especially since not one single soul will measure their VM"26" Mikuni and 'fess up to verify the actual venturi size despite several requests I've made on forums ...

A lot of people MUST have read what I've said and measured their carbs but they won't answer ...
 
thanks for that ^^^^ i got a mukuni vm26 coming in a few weeks i'll measure it and let you know cactus

WELL mate i haven't broken mine and the only thing to break is clutch and break levers and tubes from the power and me dropping it on corners.
so what are you talking about breaking things?

check the canungra results 2nd in 12" and 3rd in import so it does get ridden hard and still not break.??
