My dad bought me this in a motorbike auction. The company went bust and was selling everything for what ever they could get for it. I got this for $600, it had a price tag on it for $3200. No wonder they went bust lol. I also got a helmet for $50, 3 pairs of no fear pants for $110 when there usually $180ea, im selling the other pairs on ebay. XD And i got gloves and a jacket.

Anyway so this lil baby is 125cc, mikuni carb, 4 stroke, over head valves and cam and 4 gears. It has a **** load of torque and pulls monos in 1st and 2nd if ur not careful. Im gonna rip up some serious dirt with this baby. I spent ages trying to figure out how to bleed a brake line. I finally got it so i got back brakes now. XD It has a honda crf chassis and a chinese honda clone engine. All honda parts fit it so thats good.

Well thats about it. Enjoy. Dont hate!

Nice bike, Too small for me and not bush worthy though. I bet its alot of fun playing around with it though. Another thing I noticed is the weird swingarm and lack of bottom end frame. Also why is the skid plate mounted directly to the cylinder head? What good is that? Hit a rock its either going to crack your head or bend the plate to heck. Chinese quality I spy.

I always wondered about the clone bikes that are at Shucks for sale and if they are any good. The price is certainly enticing. Nice purchase!

Good points, Tyler, I noticed that too (although I think it's the cylinder itself, not the head), but you're absolutely right that it doesn't seem very structurally sound. So- $600, by all means, good deal!!!
$3200, are you insane? No chance!

Have fun with it! Cheers! Chris

Its a clone of a crf chassis and motor so honda has there skid plate setup the same so it must work. Also god how big of a rock are u talking about. I dont think ill hit a rock that big man. Ill get a pic of me sitting on it so u can see the size of it.

Thats not a clone of a CRF chassis...Its just a chinese pit bike chassis.

Heres a CRF 125

And CRF 50

The 50 looks a bit like yours, but by no means a clone of it.

...I wish my dad would buy me a dirtbike...or anything for that matter, he makes a big deal out of buying me a dirtbike helmet so i can be safe...and not crack my skull open. Anyways, thats not a horrible deal, looks similar the ones they sell on ebay for $500.

Personally, I like the physical looks of it. I don't like anything flashy, but that looks like it means business.

Love it Brendonv.

Oww i should of been more specific. Its a copy of a crf50, obiviously its not exactly the same or they would get done with copyright laws but u can definately see a resemblence. Im at school atm but wen i get home ill measure the clearance and seat height and get a pic of me on it. It does look very small in the photo. Apparently most honda crf parts fit it though. The skid plate does look a little different on the crf50 but still looks pretty similar. Obviously it wont be the same shocks and such since its chinese and not a honda. Its pretty solid though. I wouldnt do big jumps on it but its a pretty solid bike. Might take em offroad today after school.

Oh and i got the one with the flipped front shocks, they had ones there with the shocks the normal way but i like the look of the ones with the flipped ones better so i got this one.

If you went bush riding where I was this weekend you would need a good skid plate. I was crossing water holes about 11" deep and climbing huge rocky hills with huge stumps and boulders. Of course I was soaked up to my knees but thats all part of the fun:)

Australias different to America. We dont get rocky places here, its just all white sand, shrubs, trees and dirt.
