Well like i said a local shop has been pushing these things like crazy in my area. They talked my dad into buying one last night. If you go to our local big bike track these things are everywhere now. They are so cheap.
I'm giving a little review since i rode it last night for a couple hours. My bike is a actual Honda CRF so i'm really curious to see if this thing holds up.
My review
My dad paid $800 for the bike.
This first thing i noticed was that the bike was huge compared to mine. It comes with 12 inch rims and a 125cc JIALIN (made in China). It looked really nice IMO. Didn't looked strange like other packaged pitbikes i've seen. This bike has a electric start (which we took off) but it will start in any gear with the clutch pulled in.
The bike sounds really nice and has some very smooth power. The biggest suprise was the gear box. It was actually smooth as silk. The bike comes with a 4 speed manual. The suspension setup was really nice for my wieght (165 lbs) and the disk brakes felt really nice. (I wish i had those on my bike.)
On the downside i felt like the bike was really heavy. Even with the battary removed it didn't feel like a good balanced bike. The clutch was anouther downside. It was so stiff it almost hurt my hand to pull in. I think it will loosen up a bit but it will always be stiff. Anouther big complaint was that it was impossible to find nuetral. I'm serious when i say i never once got it in nuetral while the bike was running. When the engine is off it was easy to shift into second and just tap down into nuetral. The last thing is the kick starter seemed to stick out farther than my CRF. I have caught my pants many times on my CRF but this thing it touching my leg all the time. Its really in the way.
This bike really suprised me. The only other package bike i can compare it to is the xtreme. Thats the only other bike i have rode and seen the quality. I would say this is as good if not better but the price is half. Now the bike only has about 3 hours on it so now only time will tell if it holds up.
