I work at an Engineering workshop in western Australia as a Machinist. Over the past few months a few of the guy’s at work have bought 3 of those cheap Chinese 125 thumpstar rip off mini dirt dikes. They bought them new on Ebay for about $600.
Just for fun, every Friday we race them through the workshop, out through the car park, over next doors car park & back again! Its lots of fun! But these crappy Chinese dirt bikes are so cheap that they are also Nasty. They break SO easily! Like, my boss was riding his the other day & he went over a bit of a jump & his bloody foot pegs snapped off! They were made out of crappy Porous ally casting! Looked like porous volcanic rock. They should of been made out of steel.
That & among other things. They are always breaking. Plus they are pretty gutless too. They are VERY loud! But gutless. Sometimes with motor bikes when they are very loud, you get confused between if they have alot of power, or if they are just making alot of noise.
And all the adjustments on them are shit. like the clutch feels like crap, the suspension is a total joke, & its just all feels cheap & nasty.
They’ve been telling me I should buy one too. They say their only $600! You can complain about that! I guess they are rite. But I would rather buy one that has more power & doesnt break every time I race it! & is of decent quality.
So I went to the Bike shop today to look at a decent one, a KTM 65SX 2 stroke. But they are way too expensive! About 5 grand! & I dont need a new one. A second hand one would be perfect!
So tonight I had a look on Ebay, & Bugger me! There was one in Sydney for sale! A 2001 model for $1450! Thats a bargin! So I hit buy it now straight away.
Since its a 2 stroke, it will have more power than those crappy Chinese 125 4 strokes!
When it turns up, at the next race, THEY ARE FUCKEN GOEN DOWN!!
See the pics.
FUCK YEA!!
This is my Second KTM. I also have a 2005 LC4640 SM as a daily rider. Thats the one in the last photo.
