best value bike on the market

[Achmed]

I think the Braaap boys featured on the podeum there aswell ???

 

[coolmodee01]

got a question for ya adam

why dont you support the braap boys they do heaps for you guys down there
do you ride with em race with em

i know i would be apart from the whole pink thing

 

[Achmed]

well, I do actually. Im a member of the braaap club.
I built their club site, and just finished working on their new website.
Braaap - Welcome

Only problem I have is they don't do a Midsize bike. And pink isnt really my colour ...

 

[Achmed]

I would have to say, Braaap is the most dedicated Pitbike retailer in Australia.
They have built several tracks at their own expence, but the tracks are open to everyone.

Brad, the owner, is one of the top riders in the country.

 

[coolmodee01]

good to see

and i'm actually looking at planning a road trip so a bit of riding and fishing i'll be in touch

the tracks have come up sic as so far

 

[crazzy #1]

i doubt your ebay service will and customer car will not be anywhere near MSO's standards...

and i highly doubt pimpt pit bikes are not backed if there is a failiar

 

[crazzy #1]

also, where the hell is this braaap track

 

[coolmodee01]

2nd at the sx 2nd at moto mayhem (different rider) then 1st Shuies.

It's not a flash in the pan ....MSO's are a competetive bike at a very competetive price.....and it's showing on the track ...find me a cheaper bike that has won a major race ..... no contest.

But it's the aftersales service and dedication to seeing there customers happy that seals the deal for me ....

Oh yeah they are an AUSSIE company

haha here we go again.

I'm sitting a bit in the middle here as I have dealt with both Dan at Pimpit and Ken & Linda at MSO. Had good dealings with both.

The pimpit bikes are cheaper then the mso's yes, but not just in price, components also. For someone that wants better then say a Pitpro 140XR but can't afford a MSO 140SR then they may be ideal. Don't be fooled tho, the Pimpit are not in the same league as the MSO's.

Very poor rear shock selection on the 150 Gunslinger, well for most of us that either weight a little or want to jump them. The 800lb shock won't be up to the job, so add another $150-$200 to purchase price for a properly suited shock. Exhaust while still nice is not the same quality as the MSO one (I researched a while ago and ended up with a MSO one for the little bit extra money) and thats just at a quick glance. Not saying the pimpits aren't good but they are simply a bike built to fit a price section in the market.

PIMPIT Industries is Australian owned and has outstanding backup if anything goes wrong.
They are also backed by one of Chinas biggest and well respected manufacturers.

Yeah he's their webmaster ...he built the website ...so yeah I guess he does work for em AND YES THE THREAD DOES APPEAR TO BE A THINLY VEILED GRAB FOR SALES .

FIRSTLY
As for pullin my head out of my arse ??? I suggest you pull your head in a bit there champ .

I was offering my opinion ....which I'm entitled to do

Value is a subjective thing mate some people wanna race some just wanna screw round in the yard .... but like I said I haven't seen one podium anywhere ...not havin a dig that's just the news mate

So to someone who wants to race a company like MSO that actually have a race team and a bike that's competetive ???

Well they might just be better value than someone who has nothing to do with racing at all don't ya think.

Again my OPINION ...try n live with it

If you re-read my post Achmed I wasn't saying that the Pimpits were a bad bike. Infact they seem like a good bike for the money, however they are not of the same quality in all components as say a MSO 140SR, they are however cheaper so this makes up for it. As is the rule in life you get what you pay for, will a Gunslinger be better then a Pitpro 140XR, yeah it will, easily, is it every bit as good as a MSO 140SR, no sorry its not.

If you want Achmed I can spend some time and do up a list of differences between the two bikes and show exactly what your extra money is paying for with the MSO. You have to look closely and study every little bit of the bike to find all the differences.

It all comes down to how much bike you want to buy, the only area where the pimpit really wins is it has the 150cc but if you race that can put you up another class which could work against you. Once again not having a dig at Pimpit, Dan is a good bloke and the times I have dealt with him have been good. Bikes are good for there price but your not getting a $2000+ bike for $1400, your just getting a bike that is worth its $1400.

Ive been sitting back and watching this debate so I thought maybe its time I put in a word or 2 lol. Now I know that Achmed (Adam) does not work for Pimpit but yes he did design there website but he has also designed the new Braaap website along with a few others. He could have got a Braap I suppose but he decided to buy a Pimpit gangster and from what I can see so far he is happy with it so he is just representing for his ride.
He was paid for his work long before pimpit had there bikes in Australia but no doubt that Dan gave him a better than advertised price or even cost price but for that I would say that Dan did the aussie thing and looked after a mate who looked after him. Whats wrong with that?

As for the bikes not being on any podiums or at any race meets well that is obvious considering they havent been around for long at all. MSO didnt start a race team with there first or second shipment of bikes so they cant be compared in that way. I can name another TDR distributer with 2 shops in Melbourne selling a simmilar model with the 140cc from the same factory for just over $2000 (im not sure if they ever sell any though) so the Pimpit is very good in price compared to them.

Anyway between the 2 bikes I couldnt go past the MSO SR but at the end of the day the Pimpit is around $500 cheaper and I think its a great value bike at that price.

mmm id have to agree that MSO after sale service is second to none but for the extra money i dont think id get the SR over the PIMPIT and from what ive seen id have to say the PIMPIT is better value as it comes with a 150 and billet parts better swingarm etc etc etc but the MSO is proven and the PIMPIT HASNT AS YET.
