Most reliable pit bike make?

[oJaXo]

looking into buying a pit bike to have as just a off road bit of fun but so many random makes was wondering which ones are reliable enough to actually last a decent amount of time ?
Also what kind of price am i looking at paying ?

many thanks

i think like stomp is a good pitbike brand but stay clear of chinese stuff and most pit bikes can be found for around 300 quid newish i think

Can't speak for pit bikes or buid quality. But I can say my Lifan engine in my cub (110, 4sp Semi auto) has been superb over the last 2,500 miles.

Rode Southampton -> Newquay and back and didn't burn any oil.

I had a Biaggi one. Was great never missed a beat. Only bits that needed replacing was a sparkplug, and front brake resovoir after binning it.

Only payed £300 for it in the local free ads paper.

Quite why they put an expansion chamber style header on a 4T baffles me.

depends on what's buggered with it.

engines can be bought new from £245 to £2975 (125 race engine).
Edit: that is for an entire new engine

My 110 engine was about £170 delivered, complete with carb, filter and loom.
