Re: which bike to get

Depends on what you plan to do ?

Fooling around in the backyard ?
Racing ?
Mini fmx ?
Trails etc .. it all really just depends.but if you have your mind set on a klx110 you can not go wrong.I regret selling mine they are awesome.

Do you want a bike the smashes the ground or rips it apart? You can find very nicely built used 110's. You just have to look.

your fooling yourself if you are thinking any cheap bike is going maintain any serious resale value...look at what the 10k+ builds go for used...usually a major loss...check local craigslist I saw 2 - 110's on sunday one Kaw one Suz $ 1250 to 1600...jump on it

You can (1) buy a Kawi 110 spend money to make it rip double what it does stock and only do routine maintenance.
OR
(2) buy a replica for cheap and risk it screwing up all the time and spending all your money on replacement parts and just trying to keep it running or on the track.

to me either way you will be spending money,it is just if you spend it wisely or NOT

A kawi 110 is your best bet they are awesome stock specially for just fun and to do a few upgrades it really is a powerful machine.

Take your time when you sell it and don't budge on " YOUR " price. My bike was worth about that and I got more than it was worth when I sold it.
