They are out of my price range tho.

Im looking at spending £300 max.

[SaxoAlex]

there are a lot of cheap japanese bikes out there tbh

most wont last long if you start jumping them, the gearbox, sus and frames are weak.
Anything below £300 isnt gonna be superstrong, just cheap and cheerful.

Stomps are very good, but as with most things, you get what you pay for.
I have a superstomp 150, takes everything i throw at it and is race spec :) did cost almost £700 though lol

I did think that most of them will be cheap and cheerful for around the £300 mark.What one would you go for if you only had £300 max to spend?

[jonnysamol]

Ive been on a thumpstar and would reccomend them!
Mint tbh!

[OLLYVTS]

I have just had a look at a few thumpstar's and they look smart,plus i should be able to afford one second hand i think.How much are they brand new?

[frankie]

i would say stretch an extra £100 mate.

ive got a stomp 140cc.......and its amazing lol.

f-ing fast

I would love to,but its going to stretch to have £300.

And i want to buy one at the end of this month.I would have to wait untill the end of next month if i was going to spend £400 on one which i really dont want to wait.

[Tim_emm]

yeah. i had a yamaha 125. was a beast lol. well im sure it was a yamaha. lol. you get alot of import replicas these days haha

[Saxo_Scott]

YOU DO NOT WANT CHINKY RUBBISH

go for a CRF50 if you can find one!

[frankie]

good point mate.

id stay away from the thumpstars, i think there pants....

maybe able to get a 2nd hand x-sport

[frankie]

my mate had one of them, was ledgendary

[Saxo_Scott]

i have a CRF50

got it for £400 2 weeks ago.

They guy i got it off does racing, and he said he would never have anything else.

[OLLYVTS]

Cheers for all the info guys.
So the good ones to look for are.
Stomp pit bikes
CFR50's (found a couple on ebay)
X-sport.
What about the bulldog bikes?(link below)

[Saxo_Scott]

dont get x sport or thumpstar. they are prety much the same and allways get probs with them.

some stomps seem to be ok

but get a KLX or a CRF!

[JamesR]

bulldogs are very strong mate, and easy to tune, infact i think the one in the link is already tuned a little, its perfect for jumping. and brand new for £299 is great.

[shawn-vtr]

mate if your going to buy a pit bike buy the real deal get yourself a thumpstar there animals for what they are lol wheelie in every gear and are pritty fast considering how small they are leave all other pit bikes for dead i love my thumpstar

[OLLYVTS]

Do you think i would be able to get a KLX or a CRF for my budget of £300?

[ashie695]

all i can say is stay away from replicas ive had 3 of them and all have been problem after problem. i would go for a 65cc kawasaki i know a few people who have had them and they take anythink you throw at them and they wer faster than the 125cc i had at the time... you should find some within your budget as there quite a old bike now

[evstar]

to be perfectly honest i race motocross at semi pro level so heres some advise on pit bikes stay away they just break all the time the Japanese imports are pile of wank and tumpstar and x-port just fall apart. but if ya gonna get one get a crf 50 and just by as much bbr stuff for it as possible should stay together then lol

[Saxo_Scott]

If you look around yeah. my mate got a mint CRF50 2006 model for £500
i got mine for £400 and it had boot marks around the crank. thats a 2004

keep a look out on ebay www.pitbikeclub.co.uk and http://adrenalintrip.net/minibike-swap/forum/viewforum/181?siteid=1&301269

[charlie106]

iv got a thumpstar frame with a lifan 140cc oil cooled engine in its rapid and dead solid. i got it for £250 off a mate and he gave me the standard thumpstar 110cc engine as a spare :y: i think he regrets selling it lol

Cheers for all the advise i have found a shop that sells the stomp 110 and is local to me,so i think im going to get one on pay day from there.As far as i can see the stomp bikes are pretty good and strong.

Cheers again all.

[JamesR]

no problem, will you be tuning her?

[OLLYVTS]

no problem, will you be tuning her?

Im not sure yet,i will just wait and see how it goes when i get one.

I cant wait now i just want to go out for a ride on one,i have got a wicked place to ride it near me.

[shaunyboy]

Ive ridden a few and wouldent reccomend the cheap versions, we was riding on a quarry on my mates 150 pit bike and the rear shocker decided it no longer wanted to be attached to the swing arm, there dangerous and made out of chocolate.

unsure about the stomp, im adivisng to stay clear of cheap ones and ebay shite, the stomp looks good value for money.

[OLLYVTS]

Yea cheers im going to stay away from all the cheap and cheerful ones.

Does anyone know where i can buy one from in west sussex,near bognor regis?
I have had a search on google but cant find anywhere.

[Bally]

Im looking to get one of these, i only want mine to rag across the fields at work to the workshop. Its about half a mile across the fields and about 2 miles down the roads, its costing me a fair bit extra in fuel so thinking it could be cheaper in the long run getting a pit bike and more fun aswell. Ive heard good things about the thump elite with the upside down forks looks pretty mint to.

No probs with mine!
