buying a bike and need help

[jet_paul]

hey guys,
me and afew mates are looking at getting these thumpstar copies soon.
i am still half decided on getting a 200cc atv or a 125cc thumpstar chinese copy.

I live in melbourne and need to know what should i be paying for a decent 125cc dirt bike and what brand

there are so many ams, atomik, orion, mtx, bgs, but they all look the same
we were also told that an alloy swing arm is the best swing arm and you shouldnt use anything else.

The motors are ducar? (obviously chinese stuff)

please if you can suggest what we should be looking for and what we need to make sure the bike has can you please tell me as i have no idea when it comes to bikes.

can anyone also suggest a good atv or are all the chinese copies the same. What price can i suspect to pay for one?

thanks alot if you read to this point....

enjoy hearing responses.

Yeah pit pro's are good for the cash

AGB'S ? Orion I think but heaps of other companies importing the same thing under a different name .....detonator etc

Lifan ***** on ducar ....All day

yeah agb is a few orion ,atomic.....if your gonna get one either get the 138cc pitpro or the agb-29 (atomic prox) ive heard the 125cc pitpros are not as good as agb-29s.

go with a pitpro dont even consider a atv youll have lods more fun in the bush with a bike but if you live on a farm or have a track you go to i guess a good 200 atv wouldnt be bad
