Im wanting to give a china bike a chance.
I hear all day long why this bike sucks or why that bike is better but I am really just looking for a fast and realiable bike.

it has to hold up to a daily beating against gaps,maybe a few track visits a week countless bails and cases.

If anyone has one of the bikes listed please post and let me know how this bike has been .. but only if you personally own it and ride it.

want a midsized based bike but a 50style is ok as well.

#1 on my list is the Pister pro x4 140cc
it just seems to be a great bike heard nothing but postive things from it.

#2 SSR 140 tx2pro
heard some good but bad things and wondered if anyone has one of these.

#3 has to be the Pister pro x2 90cc
same as above nothing but postive things.

thanks for any help.

x4 is a 160cc with mikuni now great choice in a 110 base

x2 with 90cc or 140cc good choice in a 50 base

let me know if you need more help

I'll be happy if I find a better quality bike than some,so when I case or bail I do not have to drag it back to the truck and pack up.

going through some reviews online about both pitster pro's both still seem great but still trying to think if i want 50 or mid based.

im about 130lbs and 5'5 everyone tells me a 50base is best but I dont know.

I like the 50 base bikes better, i'm 5'9" 175lbs

James22 · 08-05-2008, 08:42 PM

If I go chine I have plans to buy the 140cc x2 after tons of searching and reviews etc ..

thanks for the replies everyone.

The china bikes arent for everyone. you need some mechanical ability. but they are great if you love to tinker and that 140 really flys I have seen the Pitsters take some abuse and some times come out smellin like a rose and others kinda ugly. You get alot for your money. I have a couple of x4s and just got a used x2 this weekend but haven't had time to ride it...

I have an 08 Pitster X4 with the 140 and love it. All I had to do was tinker with the jetting some and it now runs and cranks easier (installed a richer pilot). I ride mine on my backyard track with my son almost every weekend. I'm very satisfied.

Verts are a steal for the price and the extras. Plus the best is the customer support from TDK. I have also had grat communication with motovert411.com. They all seem to be on top of the game!

eddy2324 · 08-06-2008, 03:03 PM

onlydirt is right. the verts rock for the price if you want a midsize. if you want a 50 style i would recommend the ogm sx140. i just bought one and it is sweet. wrecked at least a half-dozen times and nothing broke. hope that helps.

thanks,yea either really wont matter.mid or 50 based just need something worth spending the money on and can take the beating.i know stuff will break thats no problem but of course we all know some bikes tend to not "hold up" as well as others.

Jason Pratt · 08-06-2008, 04:22 PM

LIke I said before if its in your budget and you want a 50 based bike the SSR X3 is one to look at in my opinion.

sx150 pro is a VERY good bike for the money. no complaints here. the 140sx is a 50 based, the sx150 is a 110 style. im telling you man, its a great bike.

James22 · 08-06-2008, 08:32 PM

after thinking hard i beleive if i go for a bike other than another klx110 it will be the motovert.

thanks everyone for the help.

VwMatty · 08-06-2008, 09:01 PM

Buy the Pitster, my X4 has only been punished and abused! So badly that when i looked at the clutch there was a thick muddy goo on the clutch cover and rotor. The bike still starts first kick and has never let me down...

Staggs Racing · 08-06-2008, 09:06 PM

look into the upper SSR models and OGM bikes
