Dirt Bike FAQ

Andrew as I have said before you really need to check in your own area as we don't know where you live and things do differ.

So look it up yourself on craiglist and in classifieds and on local club websites as then you get the correct information. Even some local dealerships sell used bikes

- Shop around. Go to the cycle shops and check out what the latest models and last year's models are going for. Compare.

- Pick up Dirt Rider magazine. They always have a classifieds section and reviews of products and bikes, check out what they say are some good deals.

- Peruse your Sunday paper. People often sell second-hand dirtbikes in the paper, check that out. Make some calls and see what people have to offer.

- Hang out at your local track. People are ALWAYS bringing excess bikes to the track and setting them up with For Sale signs. Those guys know their stuff too so they will usually ask a fair price.

- Make sure you do your research. Talk to the gys at your local dealers and have them make suggestions for you. They can recommend bikes for the way you ride or tell you about features you might look for. That way when you DO find somehting for sale, you know what you're looking for and what to ask.

- Lastly, check out this website for tips, tricks and an online marketplace.

Good luck!

Are you talking moto or bicycle? I don't know of anything offhand, but here are a couple sites with classifieds and forums that you should check out and register on…if you don't see anything available, post up something and you'll probably get some replies. The Texhoma club is active and has an AWESOME riding area in Tishomingo….and they just recently hosted a national qualifier competition for trials bikes in April. Sweet! If you're in the OKC area drop me a line and I might be able to help you find a bicycle if that's your aim.

Hope this helps you out some. )

It's a 1986 RM250.A basket case is a bike that needs to be put back together.It says it's in good shape but it needs a new crankshaft.In other words the engine needs to be re built.They want 300 dollars or best offer.Unless you know how to re build engines and assemble bikes it wouldn't be a good choice for you.

LOL i loved the it has a basket case answers Too funny!

First of all theres probably a good reason you havent heard of it
its because these china bikes come with so many different names so many different designs that well .. you can never track down a manifacture or dealership to get parts for them when they break
just an example of how many diff names they slap on them to keep you from finding a real manufacturer
here we have the (speed) 110

and here is the eagle? .. not sure what it says

and the ..defiant? ..

see a pattern?..

its a 110 .. and im sure ur thinking hey a honda cr125 is a big bike this is only a few ccs smaller
no….
this bike is considerd a pit bike suitable for 5 yearolds to break before they move up to a real bike

it just depends what its worth to you… if you know how to work on them .. and feel like a pain in the neck
go for it
if you want to wait for a good deal or spend a few extra dollars on a used name brand bike .. well that would be a better idea
check out ebay/ craigslist the local classifieds/news paper

yes its a copy of honda but .. the machine work, cast work, grade of metal ect ect is all a little different .. soooo …. if they cant make a product they canstand behind enough to put a straight brand name make and model .. then im not going to trust it

get a name brand jap bike, suzuki kawasaki yamaha honda ktm anything with one of these names on it .. will be a pretty dependable bike

Try craigslist, please. It is in violation of the community guidelines to post classifieds here – but you can sell most anything there if your price is reasonable.

If that doesn't work, put and auction on eBay.
