Hey,
Any 140 or 125 will be okay.
But if you have 1,500 don't get something ******,
get a pitpro, dhz, or even an mso.
Infact, mso just released a enw 125cc bike for under 1k!! I'd get that, or an mso 140s like me which is 1,600 but if you say you're from miniriders they usually give you a good deal, mso has great customer service and exellent bikes....

personaly i wouldnt even consider brands other than

pitpro
dhz
atomik
mso

im not talking about pitsterpro im talking in the under $1500 range

 

[crazzy #1]

minimal problems good quality? id look into mso! there new model is up there with motovert, pitster etc etc! they should be available very shortly...

 

[pmc.21]

go what snitchy said, one of the DHZ's or PitPro's, you could always get the 140cc DHZ. They go for around 700?

thanx for steerin me in the rite direction.
I came across another one that has better specs- they rekon so
ZX-1R DB125 Pit Bike
What do you think of Zumas or has anyone heard of them?
Otherwise Im goin with one of the above-MSO, pitpro etc

 

[pmc.21]

mate, dont go near that thing, go towards PitPro & DHZ, or even MSO if you got a bit more dough

Not impressed with Zuma's dirtbike but I bought my first pocket bike (Banshee) from them and it was pretty good but they charge a lot on spares. Would recommend MSO if your budget is $1,500 and probably Pitpro/DHZ for under $1,000
