I JUST BOUGHT A ATOMIK MOTOX 125CC PIT DIRT BIKE MOTOR THUMPSTAR INSTEAD OF A 2006 MOTOVERT 110cc. HAVE I DONE THE RIGHT THING FOR MY SON?

ummm generally speaking no...
but it depends on the riding style its gona get used for...
if its a learner bike then should be ok, just keep the maintance up to it and it should be ok.

normal riding like yard work or light bush trail riding will be fine just dont expect it to be the same quality as the motovert

and when you compare the money difference, at the end of the day you havent lost a great deal going this way...

short explanation, no, you've done wrong by your son. Long explanation, you are now in the process of teaching your son some very valuable lessons in life.
1: you get what you pay for.
2: Shiny isnt always good.
3: China has an infinitismally varying degree of the interpretation of the word "quality".
4: Atomik have no scruples whatsoever.
5: You want your money back, the customer is always wrong.
6: You should have listened to your wife, and bought the Motovert.
7: Atomik bikes are like 19 year old cheerleaders who've undergone plastic surgery. sure they look good, and they're cheap to entertain, but there-in lies the extent of their substance.
8: Atomiks can be similar to "classy" women, in that they require a lot of maintenance, and they break down a lot.
9: You should have listened to your wife, and bought the Motovert.

10: Most importantly, you dont need to spend a million dollars to have fun....
Jokes aside, yes, the Motovert would have been the far better purchase for your son. Motovert are generally regarded as a much higher quality pitbike than anything offered by Atomik. Motovert also have some semblance of morals, when it comes to aftersales service.
Having said that, a properly set up, and well maintained Atomik will be a better bike than a poorly maintained Motovert in poor condition...
What it will teach your son, is a good maintenance schedule, and that if you look after something, even a cheap something, you will get a good life out of it.
There are several threads on the correct set up, and maintenance schedules required for pitbikes in the "How-to" and "Tutorial" section of this site, which you will find horrendously helpful.
