Hook me up with THE BEST BANG FOR $1000 Delivered and if you are the one that leads me to the deal ill send you a $20 spot



Ive been searching far and wide for the best deal on a pit bike.

I have $1000 to spend so the total with shipping MUST NOT go above $1000



Im an Adult just looking to play around and wont be racing or getting much air (if any) ... bad knees. Im 5'8" and weigh 200Lbs.



Bike MUST be at least a 125 cc

Must have a Manual clutch w/4spd (1 down 3 up)

14"/12" rims (prefer this but will consider others)

MUST have good suspension (prefer adjustable Inverted Forks/Adj rear shock)

Must BE NEW



Please follow ALL the above listed features and dont try to talk me into anything more exspensive. Budget is $1000 shipped FIRM



Here are links to what ive found so far that fit my bill. Please point me in the right direction if you know of any that are better deals.

ya ive seen brand x minis complete rolling chassis going for around 500$ on ebay...and brand x motors (same as gpx) going for like 200$...i was going to build one of those until someone hooked me up with a pitster for 900$



OR just wait a lil longer and buy a pitster 125x through outlaw for 1549$ shipped...it will be worth it in the long run to spend a lil bit more than buying the cheapest deal u can



the bikes u posted above are junk...there was a dealer here in downtown L.A (asian toy distric) who sells those on streets for around 300$ each...some of my friends bought them to screw around and thrash in the backyard...we literally broke parts after 5 mins of riding and going off curbs......do it right the first time, u'll end up saving money even though you spend a lil more the first time

All these threads do is piss of the knock off vendors here.



This is the best one for your money and way under $1000

3 of my friends have them (I would kill myself before I had to own any knockoff) and they seem to be doing fine.

Also don't forget that ALL these bikes are the same staggs, outlaw, pitser ect(for the most part) but those guys staggs, outlaw ect are just middle men that is why it costs more. They will try to tell you different but they are all the same crap. Some just change up the bars and a few parts and change $1000's more. You can do all that your for dirt cheap.



Here is your pitster frame

A friend of mine just bought a SSRC4 a few weeks ago and its now a minimotard roadracer, no dirt. He had issues with it but he is a great mech and went through it and it is sweet for less than a Gee shipped to his door! After 2 trackdays with maybe 4-5 hard hours of duty with minimal break-in time it is just fine..................



Might not be so sweet if he jumped it and rode the dog she-ight out of it in the dirt and was killing the forks and rear shock? As a roadracer it is fine for a Gee!

My friends picked up a couple of these knockoff bikes, one is the camo bike. Both under $500.00. Even with that price, you get what you pay for. Crappy quality right out of the crate: improper assembly, oil leaks etc.



They're okay for a parking lot or the field around the block. I wouldn't show up at the track with one.

I actually just bought 2 one for me and a buddy. I got both for 1660 shipped and I got mine in black and not that ugly camo. I figure not to bad of a deal. I dont plan on racing or jumping I just wanted something to trail ride. Do you know if you can buy stiffer springs for the forks and if so what kind?

I know the plastics are ugly but you can easily change that and still be under a grand.

Sorry to jack the thread but stay away from this bike or clones that look like it. I have had 2 customers come in with broken swingarms. The swingarms snapped in 3 different places.
