Chinese Bikes

[Pasa]

What are Chinese bikes like these days am thinking of getting another, just wondering not intending to do any racing, just for fun, open to anyone's opinions. PS I have a atomik 125cc

and its been running perfectly

Try a used bike from any quality manufacturer. You'll never turn back to the Chinese turd bikes. A clapped out yz125 is light years better than your atomics was new.

[not_again]

Chinese bikes = tinfoil garbage.

 

There is a reason they are cheap. Sooo much better off buying a Japanese bike.

Chinese bikes are fine!!!! If you just intend to ride them around, no racing, no jumping they work great. You start beating on them, and they do fall apart. They are great learning tools for kids, and women.

A beat up 800 buck cr,yz,rm 85cc or 125cc is better than a new chinese bike .

Getting worse and worse didn't know they could get worse

Light em on fire, roll em down a hill.

My mate has an Atomik and has had it for 7 years not a problem and has only changed the oil once

Their great as long as you don't care about it. They make great drunk camp bikes. Beat it to hell and then throw it away.

You ask for opinions, then you argue with the answers.

 

What is your point.

[Pasa]

TBH I think that they are half decent if you take care of them and know what your doing

[Thunder Bike]

Chinese bikes = crap

 

A good used 10 year old bike is 100 times the bike of a new Chinese rolling explosion. Total waste of money.

[joels_rody]

I agree with everyone when I was young and has no idea I brought a Chinese 250 biggest waste of money ever I struggled to give it away don't waste ur time buy a cheap jap bike If money's tight

If you keep the negative attitude about Chinese units we will have very few in the sport in 10 years. Old guys like me are just about done riding. There are a lot of us in this position. We ride the big toys. Who is following us that can afford these units. How many of you have young kids? Are they like us bustin to get on a unit and ride every chance they get OR are they the normal new age kid that has a cell phone tweeting and taking selfies to pass the time. Is your kid happier riding on X-Box.

The Chinese unit is the entry level to our sport now. Branded 90cc ATV $3000.00 Chinese 110cc ATV $600.00. Are you going to spend big coin to see if kid likes riding. The facts are clear the old guys are going and the kids aren't starting. With no riders filling the pipeline the industry is winding down. Big dealers are now embracing these Chinese units in order to keep kids riding. It's thanks to the big parts suppliers like Marshall Distributing, Southern Motorcycle Supply and J&M ATV Supply all of them carry quality parts for these Chinese units. The kids are our future get them outside and riding. (end of rant)

[joels_rody]

I would

Rather a much older bike from one of the japs then a new Chinese bike, sure they are cheap I give u that, but that's is were the upsides end they have no more positives over jap bikes

I'm tryin to hunt down a cheap Chinese enduro to teach my nephews to ride.. then let them go off and buy their own jap bikes if they choose.. but trying to find the best deal on one.. anyone know where the best place to order a cheap Chinese enduro is? Preferably a 250cc but a 200cc will work too..

Old bikes need fixing and old Brand name bikes have the very expensive parts. Honda could sell the a $600.00 ATV but that kills thehuge parts price wall they have built. Same for all the others. They are pricing themselves out of the present day market. It's just like the stock market. The public sets the price. If they don't bend they will slowly fail.
