Hi guys I'm new to this forum Ive come over from thumpertalk.

I am looking for a 125cc on / off road bike for my bro he's recently passed his cbt allowing him to ride a 125.

He wanted a new plated Chinese pit bike but i told him to wait till i find him a decent used DT or KMX but DT's seem to be quite expensive even the older ones and there are not many kmx's about or i could just be looking in the wrong places? What other options do i have?

I would really like him to have a two stroke as there easy to maintain and are really fun for a 17yo but would like to no what four stroke options i have.

My budget is £800-900 i could push to a grand.

Thanks guys for any replies. Thumbs Up

Try a KDX, they pop up regularly on eBay for <£1,000 and are considered better off-road than the KMX.

Got mine on eBay, they pop up quite regularly but many are non road registered, so read carefully!

NO. His new Chinese pit bike will not be so shiny and new after a few months and will cost more to fix in the long term. I don't know where you live but there are a few 125's on ebay at the moment.
