My son is driving me nuts about getting him a Honda 50 pit bike for X-mas!!
We cant afford to spend that kind of cash on a x-mas gift so we have been looking at some of the Honda 50 lookalikes on ****.Man, there are a tons of companys selling all kinds of brand new lookalikes from old Z50's to CRF 50 lookalikes for under $500.00.Most all of these companys are from California and they do not give a company name or any info about themselves.We have been doing alot of differnt internet searchs(different engines and keywords) trying to find information on companys selling these bikes with no luck.Other than ****,its almost like there is a BLACK HOLE on these bikes?I am pretty much a firm believer in the old saying "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR",but at this point I am on a mission to find out if they are decent pit bikes or JUNK.I assume they wont be as durable as a HONDA but would they be good enough to cruise the pits on?
When you look at the pictures they really look like the real things with some very minor differences.One of the differences that I have noticed is the right side case on some models are slightly different than the Honda.Another difference on some models is the swingarm gusset near the rear wheel has a slightly different shape.
My reason for posting on this message board is to find out if anyone has any experience or info on these these LOOKALIKES and or any info on the dealers selling them.(It would be a real bummer to buy one from California,pay a couple hundred dollars shipping and it not run correctly or be a pile of crap!)
THANK YOU
