well theres these bikes called D-PRO there like $800. But be warned they are still an ebay bike. Although everyone who i have seen with one seems to be happy with there bike. pitboss used to be a cheaper bike im not sure what they cost now but they are decent. Also someone was saying that the new motoverts are between 1500-3500 so im not sure if that means theres one for 1500.

As Dazza said.. the D Pro bikes seem to hold up as Mixi on here has one and his is still going strong.

yeah man crfs are not as good as there cracked up to be. i would have my provert over a crf any day. with the exeption of some of the crfs that are worth about $12000. the front forks and swingarm on crfs are shit man. you could get a china and hav the same power as a crf with 88 kit. you all say "chinas" are unreliable my provert is going as good today as the week i baught it. its not the bike thats unreliable its the rider on it who is IRRESPONSIBLE.

im not tryin to start shit mate but have you owned a crf? how do you know the forks and swingarm are shit? my forks and swingarm are awsome. ive heard so many people say crfs cost so much to do up when really they dont... a good import can be between 3 and 4k and thats how much it can cost to get a crf awsome the rest are trick parts. if the frame is as weak as people make it sound (and i dont agree with em) weld a few steel rods on it and shes fine. i also agree with your "bike not being unreliable but rider being unresponsible" theory because it is so true and it is the same with any bike.
and i know me and you have had this exact same conversation and it turned into a shit fight like every other honda verse import "conversation" so ive put in my two sense and im leaving it at that.

yeah DOORMATT we have had this hole shit fight thing before so im not letting it happen again. no i have never owned a crf before but i did do a swap with my mate who had put an 88 kit in it I shock with res and bar kit. we traded for three weeks to see if he liked my import and if i liked his bike because we had the shit fight aswell. also i have never said CRFs are to expensive its just personally if i was going to swap over. i would just want to do afew more mods because when he swapped me it was just after getting a new swingarm and front forks thats what makes me say thay are shit. also at the moment im selling my provert and the idea of a crf is really seeming like a good idea because yes the 88 kit does give the same if not more power than my provert. so we will see soon doormatt i could be on your side of this conversation.

Its not because people are irresponsible,or would you call hitting 20ft plus jumps irresponsible.you have no idea what you are talking about as you have owned what one bike? and i bet your ride like a little girl thats why nothing breaks.when you can ride then think about coming and talking to me.untill then stay in school pal

I think you meant to say ' you ' instead of ' your '
Stop being such a stuck up wanka low rider, I bet you theres a million people that ride better than you and they wouldn't brag like you do
My mate in Geelong works for Razorback Imports, and they have a variety of china bikes, and he brought one of them there for $1000, it's a generic brand bike, and he said it ran fine didn't have to fix anything on it at all, except the top triple clamp went loose so he just put loctight on it and it was fine. Heres a picture of it. and the only thing he done to it was put bars off his pushie onto it.
He could probably get them posted to you, I think it would cost about $200 for postage, and they also have heaps more bikes he says.

thanks pal glad to know this is a spelling competition.
anyway,sure there are alot more people out there who can ride better than me,but you dont see me talking shit to them about something i have no idea on. I have worked on about 6 different china bikes,from thumpstars to dvs to unknown brands.and not one of them has stood up to the test.everything on them either bends or snaps,the gearboxs are not built very strong and they are just plain unreliable,now me and my mates all have hondas now and guess what,with a few little mods we have not been able to break anything even hitting the big bike ramps at 20 plus foot,id like to see most china bikes out there do tht without braking anything
sure there are the one or 2 out there that can but 99 percent of them are absolute rubbish

wow man who did i talk shit about? ur dead wrong at the moment i ride a provert and i break shit all the time just nothing serious like all the people who say chinas are shit. i bend rims n shit lyk that. its not irresponsible to hit 20 foot jumps its irresponsible to ghost ride your bike down hills and than when you find its broken say its a peice of shit "china bike" and no i dont jump 20 + foot on my fiddy koz its not my main bike its a fun play bike my main bike is a CR 250 and i jump way more den 20 foot. there ya go im done keep fightin with me if you want but i aint listenin.

Hey
We still have some 110cc in stock for $1000, A couple of 125cc for $1800 and a couple BBR Style 125cc Monsters for $2700.
I think all bikes these days should be taken for what they are the 50's scene is full of good bikes but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.
I'm 100kg and I ride the arse out of my BBR Style bike and most weekends I manage to break something its just part of it in my books.
We're also doing a full range of parts for most mini's too so if your in need let me know.
Cheers
