Default DIRTBIKERS! Why Are These So Cheap?

I want to get started with dirtbiking, dont know much about them but Ive got a lot of land to play with. Im 180lbs so I looked on ebay for some 250cc 4 strokes, my friend also has a cottage and you travel far away from home, so reliability is pretty key.

I dont wanna spend a lot of money, the $1000 these cost with shipping is about my top budget.

There seems to be 2 different models. A lot of people seem to be bidding on them. I just wanna know why a Honda 250 costs 8K + and these cost 1K

For a beginner driver that wont be really racing and only trailing and a little bit of jumping, will these work? ANyone got one?

they actually arent to bad, most of them are knock of of honda's so most honda parts fit directly into them, just remeber when you get them, go over ever single bolt and tighten them.

my neighbor has one and we beat the ---- out of it every single day, and it runs perfect.
