Worth it for a newbie?

Not saying it happens on every Dreambike but there have been a few that have cracked. Mostly heavier riders I think. Either Maylands can point you in the right direction or you can buy Dreambike replicas (Taipan X1 or something) and Banshees from Zuma. You're looking at several hundred.

Don't forget the Blata B1 replica. Although not my personal favourite a lot of people ride them and they go quite well. If people race pocket bikes near you, go to the track and speak with the riders. Ask politely if you can have a quick go on their bikes or even just sit on them to see how you like the ride position.

Squeeby is right. The bike that will go quickest will ultimately be the one that you feel most comfortable, and confident on. I didn't mean to bag cags you will get to learn how to fix and tune bikes if you buy one. But if you want to just pull the cord and have the thing go ultimately you cant go past euro, or if you are on a budget the dreambike or banshee.

I have only seen one blata rep at our track and it was very quick, but things kept falling off it. (exhaust spring retainers, exhaust mount broke off). However i have heard that they have improved, they are cheap and plentiful.
