You would be better off staying with the xr. You can upgrade them cheap and they are way more reliable. I had that lifan 125 motor, it ran good for like 5 hours of ride time, but then every time you shifted from 3rd to second it would hit a false neutral. This is a pretty common problem. If you want more power go to firepowerminis.com and look at the 140 motor he has on sale for like 270. Otherwise chick out planetminis.com, you will find all the info you need there.

if your going to get a good pit bike get a xtremes pitster pro or something. Over all i would rather have the Honda 50 because its way more reliable than any off brand pit bike and you can find parts for them all over the place.

I actually owned a medina bike, and I loved it. It came in a box and I had to assemble it, but It added to the fun. Check out medinaminisx.com. Also the customer service there is top notch, definitely the best guys I have ever dealt with.
