Hello Everyone!

So as the title states, i think im in the market for a pitbike. My buddy was at a bargain outlet store(ollies) and purchased a 70cc baja mini dirt bike for $400. I had one hell of a fun time on it and now i want one.

Unfortunately i dont know much about them. After finding this site and did a few hours of searching, i still cant make up my mind. Everyone here pretty much says china motors suck and the metals made from cans ect. but i cant justify shelling out $$ for a honda. My budget it prolly around $650 w/shipping..

So i guess what im asking is are there any "key" things to purchase/avoid? Which engine is the most reputable between lifan and zongshen? Any help will be greatly appreciated as i have no idea what im looking at.

As for riding, i weigh 160lbs, i wont be preforming huge triples or anything.. and i think a 110cc-125cc motor will scoot me along just fine over the 70cc i tried. AND MUST BE MANUAL! no semi auto(clutchless) nonsense lol. I race a 600 sportbike and having a clutch lever just seems natural to me..

As far as brands go, does it matter? I found a thread here that compared a few different china bikes, but i have come across a few bikes not on the list.. I have found this-
