China is making knock off automobiles.

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...2/ai_n16881841

Its a copy of the Chevy Colorado. I have seen pictures of the knock-off and the real thing side by side and it is crazy how similar they are.

If your worried about cost, buy a 125 or 250 that needs a top end rebuilt and rebuilt it....you can find those for around $500-$800 and it cost like $200 for a rebuild kit.

there isnt a whole lot that can break on these things the part i would be most worried about is the motor, but if you take care of it and throw on a oil cooler then your safe.

from my expiriance i can say that that bike was a fantastic buy, worth every penny, especially learing to ride on it.

these bikes are are pretty much the same thing. the 250 are a little bigger but they are pretty much the same bike but just bigger.

and when we flipped it the first day, i went to honda and got a clutch handle and front fender and they fit perfectly. so its nothing like the smiley welders,

A fender and a clutch lever will fit any bike. Try replacing valves, pistons, rings, clutches, bearings, ---- that bikes need on a regular basis.

I guess if you're not serious about riding and you just want to look like a douchebag riding around your yamkakiHondasuki "dirtbike"....go for it. I wouldn't be caught dead on one. :1

You can find older ones or ones that need work for that price. Obviously you're not going to be getting a *mint* 07 model, but....

hey kevinn remember the little 50 at my uncles?

suzuki 50cc dirt bike. has hauled everyone around for the last 8 years and only thing we have ever done is change the sparkplug twice. this thing hauls me and my sone around on it all day long every weekend and everyone else and never had a problem.

our 250cc hondas have been riped hard since 1983 and we have rebuilt the engine in one of them once because of leaning it out in winter with summer gas and they are still going stong and can rip apart the new 8000 ---- that honda has out now

We aren't talking about a NEWER bike. Mid 90's CR250 can be bought for less than $1000 and outlast and outpower any of those horseshit chingchongmeow bikes and you won't look like a generic goober riding it. :1

Bad example, but still not a bad buy it now price. They can be found for cheaper.
