eBay pitbikes?

[One_Bad_400]

anyone ever bought one of these pitbikes off ebay?!?! i obviously realize they are probably crappy sense they are only $500 bucks. what what is crappy about them? frame bend? shocks blow? parts break? engines blow? a buddy of mine is thinking about getting one. and if he dont tear it up i'll probably get one. lol

link doesnt work:(

but i will say this
judging by the price it is an imported chinese peice of crap, much like other powersport vehicles you can find nowadays

but the thing is, there so cheap, it justifys buying one!
and some people will get lucky and get a reliable one
like my buddy, whos 5 year old kazuma 150 just gave up the ghost a few months ago

i would say go for it
you can get 500$ of fun out of it in a few months, then after that is a bonus

just get a used 110 for around $1000, throw some bars on it and nothing on it will break, and it will run forever

besides the peg mounts!!

[IRISH-RACER-14]

i actually had one of those,there a copy of a honda cr85. my never had any problems because it actually had the best chineese engine that u can get

[andrew450r]

i picked this up for $700. Its a 2003 drz110, race tech suspenion, tag bars, oversized pegs, two brothers pipe, open twin air filter. Id rather throw down the extra $200 and know your getting somthing thats gunna last

yup i had a slew of minis, go with a 110, 05 or newer the older ones have some differences in the engine and alot of the parts wont interchange, for the peg mount issue its a simple fix, get a cat 5 cradle mount there like $125

x2.

the only problems with the 110s are the 02's have a different crank, so some parts wont bolt on (flywheel/IRK/clutch/primary gears) but its updatable to a 03+ crank or stroker.

output shafts on the 07 and older models are weak too. many parts dealers sell the 08 shaft which is fixed, or spend 200 on a BBR or something..

then like said the peg issue, but once again, just get a cradle mount, and you can put in alot longer bolts than stock. sure wish ROLLIE woulda thought of that when he had my 110:D

but id skip over the knockoffs... youll be MUCH happier on a 110

[hondariderdylan]

i have to agree with the little DRZ
my buddy got one when his bigger brother got a DRZ125L

i rode the 125 and it wasnt a slouch
(but i know nothing about dirt bikes:p)

but ill be danged if that little 110 didnt stomp it in almost any race
and it looked like a david vs goliath kind of deal

:eek2:

plus there's a huge market for the 110's.

[SRH]

the 04 and older klx has a different shift shaft and stuff too

[One_Bad_400]

why has everyone gone with the drz110??? i though the xr/crf owned the mini world?!?!?!

[SRH]

not since about 05 or 06

a stock 110 can beat a crf88 in 2nd gear, and pretty much all they need is handlebars, a cradleframe and stiffer springs and your all set, not to mention the stock klx110 frame is pretty close to unbreakable for the normal rider, where as the 50 frames get choppered out.

^^ Nice 110. What do you have done to the motor?
