Guys new to the forum. I have been looking into getting a dirt bike for a while. In CA a used Named Honda/yamaha 250 in the year range of 2002 to 2005 sell aroundd 2200-3500.

I found the Apollo 250 shipped for around 1500 to 1700 range (give or take).

What should be my expectations with this bike? I'm sure this bike would not last long on a motorcross track, but how about trail riding with minor jumps. Am I better off just saving some more cash, and buying a Honda/Yamaha?

I have never owned a dirt bike, and the few people that do own them say to stay away from the Chinese bikes, but the prices make them very enticing.

Thanks for any feedback,

Douglass
