i was looking at my favorite china/knockoff powersports website and notice a new bike (maby it's not new but i never saw it before) and was wondering if it would be stuntable. here is a link to the bike
PowersportsMax.com - DB-K050 110cc 4-stroke Dirt Bike Super Quality! Newest Arrival!

i know people are going to say "just find a stock 50 used for the same price"
but where i am 50's are about as common as a ysr, i mean here you either ride a quad or an mx bike
and i have ridden one of their bikes (there is a like to the bike i rode below)
PowersportsMax.com - DB-D051 4-stroke 200cc Dirt Bike Newest Arrival!
and it seemed to run good

i guess what i am asking would i be wasting my money if i bought this bike for 375? (plus $150 s/h so like $525 or so but if you pay with a cashiers check or money order you get a 3% discount witch makes it $15.75 less)

also dose anybody have any experence on one of these?

stunt_squid

also how close is that bike to a 50?
and is it just mee or dose it seem to already have a big bar setup?
if so and it is stuntable that is $200 less i need to spend to be stunt worthy
i could just get a hand brake and a 12 bar (12 bar could deffinately wait because i like to do stoppies and the thought of a 12bar hitting me when i flip the bike is not a fond one)
also are those the same size wheels and tires as the 50?
would i be able to get street tires for it (if it is stuntable and i get it)

lol, that bike is terrible dude, you got to get a half decent bike.

turboglenn

well, the description is WAY different than the pics, it says drum brakes but shows disk brakes

it looks more stuntable than some of the knock offs i've seen, but how well it will hold up is yet to be discovered i guess. but hell if you've got a MIG welder adn are willing to take the chance, go for it and fix things as they break ( if they do and i'm sure something will on it )

stunt_squid

best part is i called them and there is a 90day no questoins asked warenty where if somthing breaks or stops working you just call them up and they will send you a replacement free of charge, there is not even shipping due to the fact you don't have to send the part back or prove in any way that it broke and they pay the shipping to get to you and the shipping includes lift gate service
i am not sure exacly what that is but i am guessing it is where they use the lift gate on the back of the truck to unload the bike instead of having to lift it manually
either way it seems like a good deal now i just need to sell my traxxas tmaxx and team losi mini lst to buy it (and have enough leftover for a handbrake)
also annother good thing about it is the 4 speed instead of the 3 on the honda
but on those china motors do the cams and pistons and oil coolers and stuff fit from the honda? or any aftermarket manufactures?

stunt_squid

y wats so bad about it?
or are you just a label whore?

minirdr

its a chinese no name bike. it WILL break. dont buy it. buy a stocker honda/yamaha 50 for $500

stunt_squid

so is liftan and i see neumorus lidtan engines in 50's and pther pit bikes
and they use the stock dies and presses to make all the parts if there is any differance it would be in the material, even still they have to meet some kind of standards to be sold legally. i mean they cannot sell a bike that will shatter like glass when you hit the kick starter
and if you read the origonal post i stated "where i am 50's are about as common as a ysr, i mean here you either ride a quad or an mx bike"

why spend 500 on a knockoff when you can get a honda for that much or a little more? you really should consider how much time and money you will have to spend on a POS knockoff just to keep it running as well. it seems you want to try anything BUT a honda for some reason. why do you think all stunt parts and performance parts available are made for a honda? its the only way to go man, trust those of us who have been stunting for awhile and know the difference in quality firsthand.

Hanlon99

lol no im not a label whore, im just saying, its junk.

P.s, nice spelling on lifan.

stunt_squid

how do you know it's junk have you ever ridden it?
you know what have you ridden any chinese knockoff you are you just and *******? what do you just like talking down about somthing you do not know any thing about?
now if you have anything to contribute go right ahead but is not then go suck a dick!

Hanlon99

Easy there stunt squid (sick name) that thing is terrible, first look at the price, and then think it is made in china, chinese medal is a blend of all metals which makes it extremely weak, like your comebacks. I bought a 50 calibre swingarm which is a pretty good knockoff swinger and I bent, it, no your piece has no name and is weak as can be. Say you buy apple juice from china, or in your case warm milk, you are really getting apple and a bit of orange and a bit oh prunes in it, its just not a good buy im telling you.

Hanlon99

lets jsut say if stock crf 50 frames bend easy, that piece of sh|t will break also.

stunt_squid

first off the frame cannot be made of a mixture of all metals as all do not mix
titanium and aluminum for instance
and even if they did it would cause production cost go through the roof
the frame i am almost guarenteed to be to the standards of honda
as i called and they said the frame swinger and forks are made of AUS-8 stainless steel (witch from what i have read is actually better than what honda uses) also they buy the parts from the same people as honda and yamaha and them do (look at hyosung everybody thought they were a joke intil suzuki admited to hyosung producing 12 of their bikes and about 40% of their parts they did not disclose all the bikes and parts hyosung makes for suzuki but they admitted to have had the korian baised hyosung to have developed and souly produced the sv-650 hence the reason hyosung can make their bikes with the exact same engine and chassis it is theirs)
also do you have anything against china? because you do realize about 75% of what you own as made (and invented) in china and i can almost guarentee your computer is atleast 90% chinaq made? so why prosicute them when they make bikes?
oh and go to pepboys one of these days and look on the engine cases of their bikes and quads you'll be suprized what you find
hell at my local pepboys there was a china quad (offbrand but not knockoff as it as a completely orignal design) and it had a 300cc suzuki paralell twin and it was for sale for $1600 not bad considering i asked the salesmen about it and he said he has 2 (one for his kid and one for him) and he said it will outrun the wifes raptor 350 coincidince? i think not!

i think the problem with this thread is that you are asking questions and some people are giving you their opinion and some people are Telling you what to do, and you are taking offense to it in some way.. im going to have to agree with the others and say go for the honda.. you will thank us 3 fold when you do so, unless of course you have the money to make that bike withstand the abuse, plus. the hondas are proven why take a chance? again just giving an OPINION you dont have to take it im not going to tell you what to do just giving some adviice i actually own a ssr and love it for its purpose (which is occasional dirt trail riding) but im not going to take it stunting anytime soon it would fall apart in a copule of hours im sure, because i know its build the honda on the other hand i have spent Hours upon hours and drops upon drops and it still purs like a kitten and most importantly no frame bends or anything go fir HONda man ull thank us later

xr100man

Honda always wins no matter how you slice it dude!

thehateinsideme

i would go for it, i have had my ebay bike for 3 years. mine was $200 plus $200 shipping. haha. i have had to fix my swingarm several times from jumping. and the fork bushings like to break, but i have a self tapping screw that holds the bushings from sliding out. haa! it has a jingpin motor that hasnt ever missed a beat. stunting shouldnt cause ya much problems, other than shatty brake pads.

Hanlon99

You sayd it meats the standards of a honda but a hyonda frame is ****, thats why evry one replaces them.. now bestie boy dp you hit the nail on the head.. and stuntsquid, you jsut don't know what your talking about so don't try to correct me because your rong, and yes that frame and swinger and allt he other forks and ****, are all mixed chink metals.

aclark092

dude, i gotr a bike off there like two years ago and the triple clamp broke on a small jump, they sell junk.

stunt_squid

adviasly i don know what i am talking about as you are the only one that is being a stubborn fu(king ******* that thinks because you say somthing on a forum everybody is gunna think it is gosiple
and i would really appriciate it if you stoped being so racist against the chinese and their products they did nothing but good for you (as stated before most everything you own was created,devoloped, or made in china)
