Wanted: Mini Bike

[-matty-]

Rode my neighbour's thumpstar yesterday - first time I had ridden a mini bike and loved it.

So now I'm looking around for something myself.

Most of you will tell me to buy a Honda, etc but I really don't have the money. I'm only going to be riding for fun, not racing, not jumping anything big.

Was thinking along the lines of a Thumpstar, Motovert or similar. But are there cheaper bikes out there that could cater to my needs?

Only want to pay up to about the $1500 mark. Anyone have anything? I'm on the Central Coast of NSW (Gosford area).

mate look at ghosts thread his selling a mini bike you should have a look

[-matty-]

Have.
a) It's an ebay bike, heard that they aren't the best, although never ridden one myself.
b) He's in Penrith, which is a bit of a hike.

I guess in this thread I'm also after some advice on what to buy..

dude definately a motovert, pitster pro etc.

get a good china, i ad a china but not a decent one like a motovert.

trust me, you wont regret it

yeh get a pitster pro they cost a bit more though but i like mine. as long as u look after a china it will b fine for example check all bolts after riding i didnt do that once and my handlebars nearly came off but ive learnt from that they really just need a bit more care then a jap bike, motoverts are good as well couple of my mates have them also the braap would b worth a look at one of my mates has one of them and it goes good but yeh for all them ure looking at a bit more than 1500 unless u pick up a second hand one in alright condition.

I like the pitster pro's more because they are made to compete with the klx 110 not the crf50

[jimmy_mini]

yeh they do really also i didnt like the smaller ones as you feel to low to the ground i prefer to be a bit higher up and the pitster pro is that bit higher, the motors on them are good to
