Hello to All from Tucson, Arizona
I am grateful to find a forum with such useful advice. In most forums I join, I stay pretty active, so you will probably hear from me again. I don't currently own any bikes, but am about to make a purchase and look forward to advice from you all.
May the Force be with You. |

Thanks. Not riding anything now. I am most likely going to buy this bike today. I really want some feedback before I shell out the cash. I welcome any and all educated opinions or response and feedback.

Welcome from the west of you!
BTW, I would not pay anywhere near $700 for a '04 150cc bike. I would look at the Phoenix Craigslist under '200cc enduro' (sometimes too specific) or '200cc' (sometimes too broad) or 'enduro' (sometimes just right) in the motorcycle section. If you really want this bike, I would negotiate down to about $550, and then, only if it's street registered, with title in hand. 150cc bikes are a little underpowered, IMO, and you should get a 200, minimum. Does KPX still have any bikes leftover from their days in Tucson? This might even be a KPX branded bike, considering the year and location (KPX, as far as I can tell, are no longer in the Chinese bike industry, but might still be in Tucson)

If you are happy with the performance of that bike then try to get the seller down some more.
If you think that the power is not enough then save your money and buy a 200. Also welcome to forum. Allen

Hi xJediXx
Welcome to ChinaRiders!!! If you need more cash to buy a 200 just wait & save. The 150 that your looking at looks to be the same size as a 200 Enduro with a 150 engine in it. It's not a bad thing but if you're going to be using it at higher speeds on the street {50-60} you will be disappointed with the 150.
