Hey could use some advice on Pit Bikes.

[Hexxle]

Hey guys

I'm interested in getting a little pit bike to have some fun on, nothing serious however. I don't intend on 'kicking the **** out of it'; riding it like I owned it rather than like I stole it.

I'm after a pit bike that is good quality, reasonably powerful, and not too horribly priced. I've been advised not to get a crappy little Chinese no-name brand, as they will fall apart. Some names I've been given are DHZ, MSO (although I think they have shut down or something), etc. I am preferably after >125cc, although I would still consider a 125.

What brands would people suggest I look at, and also what are some good models out there.

Any and all suggestions/advice/opinions appreciated.

Thanks

Alright I thought I'ld post this here:

Depend how much you have I say go the DHZ/ They're bang for your buck and can't go wrong. The after service is spot on aswell. Ken (DHZ) will look after you. Give Ken a PM stating what you want and he'll look after you:

Here's his range of bikes:
- DHZ MINI MOTO - Bikes

Thanks for the info - I might check out the DHZ's further.

BTW, I live in Sydney, near Castle Hill, meaning I have to get one online.

[TERRA-RYDER]

id suggest a TERRA-MOTO they are good quality... it also depends on how much you wanna spend and how long you want the bike to last. Tho im a bit bias as thats what i ride.
