Pitster is not a knock off!!

I for one, am tired of having to talk about Pitster Pro in the knock off section ( chinese only section ) with the new X4 coming out it is truely a 110 based bike, and we should be able to talk about it in the 110 base section, just like the others. What do you all think?



I mean what is really left for knock off bikes? Yes sure all the #&$& ebay stuff, Thumpstar, and Pitster? seems like the others are out of business. So lets dump the China section and get back to Pit bikes.

I am a fan on the Pitster, but to me the X4 looks like it has the same motor as the x2 and x2r but i am not sure.....and there is a section for the xr and crf 50 and the other knock offs are in their own section, so maybe we should start a section of its own? Just my thoughts.

^ I agree! If they consider pitster a china bike, then what about aftermarket parts.. Some of the aftermarket parts people are buying for their bikes arent even made in America. I think we should reconsider what a knockoff really is.

If its because the motor than thats kinda dumb. Im running a pitster roller with a HONDA motor and its not a knockoff.... Its a 50!

first we beat up the 50s with our x and x2

now were going to do the same to the 110s with the x4 !!

who cares what u call them ,just so we keep winning with them !!

I like that idea. so how about it Z88r and Nick? I thnk we have enough bikes in the market, and enough users of this form to have our own section. I would like a Pitster / GPX section.

How can it be a 50 if its running a 124cc Jailing engine...



What I think would be a good Idea would be to have a Dhina built bike section and then break that down into particullar bikes.....



In no particular order....

Pitster

UPC

Thumptsar

SDG

Motovert

SSR

OMG

Orion

Boreem

RCMX

Staggs



This would not be for who is making current bikes but about bikes that people own...And maybe have the currently produced bikes in a current China based bikes...Then Staggs...in a Non current china based bikes.....



That would break it down so everyone is happy.....I see Gary's point...What other bike looks like an X3????? nothing that I know of...So its a knowkoff of what? See my point...They are all knockoffs from the pit bike scene but not necessarily knockoffs of the crf 50 any more.......A true pit bike is a Ruttman or equivalent minibike... from back in the 60's

Planetminis does not have a knockoff forum. We have a Chinese/Import minis forum of which your bikes fit into that catagory. Additionally, the KLX/DRZ and TTR90 have their own seperate forum. I'll be happy to create an additional forum for Midsize Import Minis if you wish or change the title of the Chinese minis forum to the Knockoff forum. Makes no difference to me.



If you'll notice, there is no CRF50 specific forum, as PM started out as a CRF forum and the roost area is really slated for those topics, but if we change it to CRF50 Roost area people complain.



Any which way you slice it, not everyone is going to be happy all of the time so it's better off leaving well enough alone...

Why not just have our own Pitster Pro / GPX section? Just like there is a crf 70, klx 110 etc...etc...

and this is whats wrong with america these days... everyone is getting mad becuase every damn thing doesnt suite them perfectly. The gov. goes and changes something then it offends someone else... How many dang years has the pledge of alegence been said in the school system? a whole shiot load... and they told everyone that they didnt have to say it! And some one complained and now they took that away from the schools. and look in my home town, We had a graduating class of almost 600 students and our graduation was to be held in a church becuase it is indoors and hold 1000's of people and there were no cross' lit up and nothing about religion showing. it was just a nice damn building... one athiest girl and some hindu fock said that it offended them and were going to take the school board to court. Well they took them to court and the court ruled with them... so now everyone has to graduate on the football field where ever year it rains on them.



Now I dont have a single thing against pitster... I actually like them. But look the forum heading is, like Z88R said "chinese/import", some people consider imported bikes as knock-offs... in a sence the motor is a knock-off of a honda design, not saying its bad, but it does resemble it. The chassis is pitsters own, so I dont know how any one could say its a knock-off?!!?! and yes it does use honda look a like plastics...



Who gives what people call it... I say your ugly. is that going to hurt your feelings? probably not.



Im ready to move to some other country where "if you dont like it then leave! or learn to like it!"

You virtually have your own section since all the other companies are going out of business and you are one of the last people standing.



When you reach OEM status and own your manufacturing facilities, we'll discuss. But I'm not going to get on the path of creating vendor specific forums for motovert, Thumpstar, Workz, trailbikes or any of the other suitors that want to advertise or advertise as they will want the same thing. I personally see no reason to change the way things are now.

The way I look at it you could actually put crf/xr questions in the china/import section. They are imports after all. You just don't see any American made pitbikes. I don't know why, but you don't.

I think if there was a knockoff section it should have the likes of those Roketa bikes and the ones that come from pep boys not the Pitster. Those are the true knockoffs/POS bikes.

But, I like all the sections the way they are now. Everybody just get along and quit whining. Don't turn this place into something we all don't want.

How much do I need to own? I have X% in the factory. Is that enough? And yes I do have OEM status check the EPA records.

I see your point about having too many sections for to many vendors, that is fine.

All I am saying is it would be nice to be able to talk x4 in the klx section just as you would talk BBR 110, etc...etc... in the klx section.

dude a knock off is a knock off china stuff.. the thing that makes a BBR 110 is that it actually started as a klx/drz 110. just like xr/crf 50s those are actual hondas thats why there called crfs and not pitster/ssr/thumpster. the x4r is still a knock off just because its the size of a 110 and looks like one doesnt mean its a 110.. everyone baggs on those cheesy 110 "knock offs" with 50 based motors. not saying the x4r is crap im just sayin its just like the others 110 copies with a 50 based motor.. in conlcusion i say its a knock offf

Ok, I see.

Just a thought, nothing against bbr etc.. But BBR also made a klx with honda mounts, what is it? All Im saying is the answers can go both ways.

id call that a knock off becuase it doesnt start as a 50 or as a 110.. its a hybrid
Dude how can you call a BBR a knock off ? lol,

Its all good, thanks for the input guys, See you around at the races, now go ride!!

One question, How many Crf 70's do you see at tracks VS Pitster Pro, Hmm, Crf 70 has its own forum interesting....

it is truely a 110 based bike



exactly 110 BASED not a real 110 therefore it should be in the knockoff section.

We are going to create a Midsize Chinese/Import Minis forum, not vendor specific, and since these bikes are not KLX/DRZ's, there's no reason to post this content in the KLX/DRZ sections.
