Mortys right the newer model 2010, 11 are even worse in terms of quality than the older chinese pocket bikes which were themselves pretty crap. I'd suggest getting an older cag off ebay if you're looking for something really cheap. Or if you're willing to spend around $300 grab a water-cooled blata or polini rep in great condition off ebay. Theres one on ebay now going at that price, in syd i think.

For racing they won't let you enter with shocks, so if you were thinking about that go no shocks. Either way you'd have to replace them before very long anyway. If you are looking for a bike in sydney I can help you out either finding one worth buying or fixing one up.

Hi if you want to ride a bike dont bother with e/bay. You are in Bris go and talk to Morty or come out to Archerfield and talk to people that have gone down your road. Seriously dont go through all the heart ake.It will only put you off pocketbikes. Bill
