New Member Looking for a New Toy!

p1llar · 03-22-2011, 09:24 PM

Hey guys, just stumbled across this forum the other day and i've been reading up on chinese atv's and dirt bikes.

I'm looking at purchasing a little toy, first started looking at the Gio 250cc 21/18 dirt bikes (bidded on a few).

I've now kind of changed my mind and i'm leaning towards either a T3 Rebel or a Beast Limited. I'd love to get my hands on the lambo to fool around on.

A little about myself, i'm 24 and currently have a '09 mitsu lancer with a whack load of mods, '10 wrangler with 33" BFG KM2's & pro comp wheels.

My family owns a '05 Sportmans 500, '08 Can Am atv, a couple sea doos and a few boats.

Looking to get something just to tinker with over the summer and fool around with.

Anyone got some suggestions as to which I should purchase between the Rebel or Beast Limited? Whichever I do purchase, it will not stay stock.. I tend to have that issue with my toys.

Also, can anyone point me in the right direct to a place where I can find performance parts. I've seen the items listed on the Gio site, is the carb/cdi box worth while? Also I from what i've read the suspension tends to be a weak spot, on the dirt bikes atleast. Are the shocks upgrades worth while? or am I better off purchasign them from another place?

Cheers!

Welcome to these forums; we are glad you joined us!

I'm a dual sport motorcycle rider, so I can't answer your question. However, the ATV experts will be along shortly to help you make your decision.

Welcome!

In the words of our wise physician, you need a sense of humour to own a China bike or quad. Some of the Gio performance parts are worthwhile, but I'd be inclined to shop eBay for shocks.

Not sure about which quad to buy; some of the T3 owners will likely chime in.

Thanks guys. The Beast limited edition appears to have a better suspension setup vs the Rebel.

Are chain upgrades necessary asap like the Gio bikes?

A good chain is a first mod on a china bike.
