Hi-bird 250 dp or American lifan gy5 200?

I am considering both of these as potential canidates for a relaible play toy to take me to the days of yester year, when a good 400 2 stroke enduro might cost you 1400.00 "thats a long time ago" back in the seventies, and other things were cheap and fun as well!! I miss those days and want to buy a good cheap reliable china DP with plenty of parts availability and decent reliabilty. I know of course they will never be a match for my old 2 stroke enduros, but i am older to and the body can't take the beating it used to.

I will appreciate all feedback and comments, let me hear your stories about these bikes

I posted this EXACT same thread just about 15 days ago.

From what I've found, they are both really about the same quality IF you take the time to put them together right.

Personally, I would go for the 250 for the added displacement.
