would you waste $900 on this??
« on: January 23, 2009, 09:37:48 PM »
The kid reminds me of mongo from Blazing Saddles.  I mean I think he's got the iq of a squid, but it's his birthday and his pappy wants to get him one of these, hoping they can put plates on it and bomb through the trails at the same time.  i think he's got high hopes.  well at least it'll get the kid into a motorcycle helmet....and out of the football helmet.....

I can tell you from expierence that I bought our girls a similar "off-brand" 90cc quad and it was perfect for them until they outgrew it. Granted they didn't ride it overly often, it ran every time we tried to start it, the suspension worked quite well and for $700 it was a steal. The 200cc is going to big enough for you to ride and with all the lights and turn signals, it will be road legal. I almost talked myself into one off of Ebay this past summer when gas was $4.50/gal. and for $900, if you trash it in two or three years, it's still worth the savings in gas instead of driving a full size auto in the peak of summer.

I think that is a great deal for a 200cc street legal dual sport.

can't believe it came from china so fast lol, but the toilet of a bike is now inside my garage being assembled right now. i'll let ya'all know how the shitty thing runs.  it just seems to be such low quality.  if plastics were measured in gauges, i would consider my xr to be like 12 gauge, this thing is comparable to like 36 gauge it's just garbage.

It truley is garbage.  The wheel bearings already came apart and it's got 200 miles on it.  I think I'll save my money and just buy the zuzuki.
