I have done some searchin on here and have come to find a lot of information about the china bikes. So far I have learned a lot and for the bikes that I have grown to like from pictures and what not. Are ssr150 the motoevrt and the pitserlxr but I have seen some other post about another bike that someone said that's coming out by a place called thumpstar. I talked to a guy I know that has a worked over Klux about it and we looked at there web page but he says the bike on there has been out for a long time and its not new its a copy of a copy? So I was hopin someone could help me out and give me a bit more information on this brand of bike because I could not find much information in a search. I am wanting to buy a bike come spring but I don't want to buy something and have something new come out better later in the year

so the pitster lxr is a good bike? Anyone ridden one what do they ride like with stock pitster suspension (no elka or zoke upgrade)



I got a few friends looking to get into the mini game and instead of blowing insane money like most of us did souping up our crf's I figured id search around



Anyone know possibly any dealers for them in the Calgary, alberta, Canada area?

The Pitsters are very good, The LXR is in my opinion , the best suspended off the shelf bike you can get, rear big bike like suspension with a progressive linkage / compression(hi-low speed) and rebound adjsuments. Once you ride one you would find it hard to ride any other.

didnt a LXR break last weekend, Some one said it hatched and the engine was all sideways Did the frame break?


We had a upper motor mount break on a pre-production model, not a big deal. The Production unit is much stonger, and in stock now!!

I've got a lot of hours on my 2008 motovert (75 or so) and no issues at all, the motor rips and from what I've heard and seen the 2009 motoverts are even better! TDK motovert has the best customer support, weather you are a new or old to the mini sport Tommy can take care of you.

Your best bet is to find people who own these and go ride one and find a local dealer who you can buy from and get support from.



When you post a topic such as this, you have XYZ supporters, ABC supporters and EFG supporters. Your best bet is to absorb all the information and formulate your own opinion after you go for a ride on said bike.



I would not buy a bike without riding it first.
