pin Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I know these things probably look the biz, but you have to ask yourself:- What make is it? Who makes the engine? How can they sell it new for this price and make money without cutting corners? I have a mate who bought an "unbranded" midi-moto off fleabay and for what hey paid (250) compared to what a "real" one would cost (1500+) I was impressed. Electric start, sounded lovelly, engine seemed to have a load of power (110cc 4stroke). The brakes were lethal, the frame came away at the swingarm and every single cast part eventually bent, cracked or showed signs of cracking. I have no idea what this seller is like, I am sure he's honest, but these look like extremely low cost chinese copies and this should be born in mind when you come to make the decision. A decent second hand Yam for about 1000-1250 if you look hard enough, compared to this is a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarms Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think that is a kids bike. Seat 700mm off the floor? That is not very high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heppy1148 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Could you justify buying it by using it enough, after the amount of work you will need to put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
