First Bike - Need help

[Marty101]

Im pretty new to motorbikes and new to this site,

I'm looking to buy a full size or almost full size chinese bike but not sure what one. Can anyone suggest some that aren't too expensive and are good quality? I weigh about 78kg and I am 188cm - 190cm tall and i would mostly use it for just riding through the bush and some small jumps. I was looking at this:
NEW ORION ATOMIK XMOTO 250CC PIT BIKE 21/18 INCH WHEEL - eBay Other Trail Bikes, Trail Bikes, Motorcycles, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 05-Sep-08 06:28:27 AEST)

Any help would be great, thanks.

i have got the model up from this bike. and i find it to be very good for the price.

i also tried out the model bike you are looking at but i found it to be a smidge to tall for me but you are bout 10cm taller than me so it should be a good height for you.

the only real problem that i have had with it is that the back wheel hit the exhaust. and that was an easy fix just by making a bracket up for it to space it out a bit.

i would stay away from the atomiks and go for a more reliable pit pro 250cc

Just stay away from china big bikes altogether.

all chinas r the same..
try and spot a difference..
it is just different quality controls

 

[crazzy #1]

no, not all chinas are the same...

some yamaha motorcycles are made in china for instance

and they are still damn expensive and good quality

 

[foolsp33d]

[Peter1230]

Fools the Puzzy RX model will be road leagal when it comes available but there still waiting on them so as u said we will see.

Yeah, I personally wouldn't buy an atomik or orion. Theres way better chinas out there, but if you have the money definitely get a jap bike.
