yeah for me the contenders where Lifan and Roketa. I picked Roketa because of price and the ability to get one from a closer dealer/distrubitor It is an awsome value.I expect prices to rise some as they gain more popularity and consumer confidence. They are very reliable engine wise at least from my experience and reading alot here before I purchased. If you can find an american lifan dealer close I would recommend that. but if its not close you may as well buy from a importer. if you have the mechanical background. just look around here your question has been asked about 100 times in different ways. bottom line china bikes are good lightduty. No MX racing they cant handle 100ft jumps but if you just ride the trails there just as good as any for that. hope this Good luck
