PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THE SALE IS LIMITED TIME ONLY.
Hey Guys Im 17 years old and next summer I plan on spending around $3,000
CND on a 250cc dirtbike (around 1995). I was looking for a dirt bike on
ebay just for kicks and saw a ad. The ad for a JET bike that claims its as
good as honda or yamaha. Its only $899.00 US brand new. Im from canada so I
would have to pay fees to get it shiped over. Im just wonder if this is a
good idea. Or is this wanabe just a piece of crap? heres the Link. I don't
know what do you guys think? I want to do some small jumps (around 20 feet)
so would this thing have good enough suspension

One wierd thing I noticed was that all the pictures they had of someone
jumping was on a Honda CR or a yamaha. Why don't that have pictures of
there bikes jumping. A lot of the stuff on it looks cheap like the front
forks look pretty
skinny (but I guess it would have to be cheap to have such a cheap price).
One thing that I like about it (besides the price) is that it has a 34"
seat hight which would fit me nice (I'm five foot seven)
theres also a whole bunch of other bikes that are cheaper.
Check out the other ones that are brand new.

I want a bike that is powerful (but not too powerful becuse I am a newbie
on dirt bikes) and good for jumping and maybe in the future lisence it for
street use.
Whats better JET or Viva? (the viva looks like a better quality bike to me)

Get a Vespa, those things are actually pretty fast...don't know about the
jumps though :doh:

The first one is really cheap. I always thought that bikes went for way
more. In general that is. I just found out that the Suzuki GSX-R I want is
not $25,000 but only $3,000 used. :smoke:

hey i have a gran turismo vespa.. its pretty fast... but i dont think you
want to go showing off a moped to anyone... :oops:
and really i have NEVER heard of JeT bikes... id steree clear... ive heard
of viva... but why not a regular honda or somthing nice like that?

I would stay away from it and buy something you have heard of
bigdaveangell
i have a honda xr250 i would be willing to part with. it is very fast.

Way to revive an old thread. :clap: And sorry, your xr250 is not fast, you
are just trying to trick a beginner.
That Jet bike is a pos and a total rip off its just a cheap noname brand
trying to rip you off so stay away from it.
Benson
the xr250 seems fast to me. i topped it out at 85 and i shure wont do 85
on a motocross track. im not trying to trick anybody, i especially cant
trick a beginner because i am a beginner.
bebopin64
I have to side with Benson on this one your XR250 is not fast...if anyone
is lookin for a bike i got 6 i wouldnt mind parting with lol

Tech_N9ne
Well I noticed this a while back but this topic is revived, since when did
they make an 85cc in 1997?
Benson
they didnt... its a 2004 85cc motor and a 1997 frame....i just made it outa
spare parts, i had alot of spare time lol
Tech_N9ne
Ohh I see.
Benson
its more of like at novelty thing even tho its fast
Tech_N9ne
If you were smart stay with a 1999-2004 Suzuki/Honda/Yamaha 250's They're
Known And I've bought a 500$ 50cc Dirt Bike For Kicks. It Sucked.. So Just
Sayin. Cheap Things Are Hard Too Be Repared (Unless You Can Do It) And
Replacing Parts Is Super Hard On Unknown Bikes.. So.... I Say Suzuki 250 :)

Advice is useless considering this guy hasn't came back since he
registered, I really doubt he even saw the first response.
