China bikes in the US

beginner · 06-11-2010, 05:27 PM

For the past two years my brother and I have have been riding around the farm on a klx140 and a klx300 bought used. We like both bikes and plan to keep them but we'd like to get a mid size dirt bike with 34" seat or less, 200-250cc motor, and 19'/16" wheels. Headlight, brush guards and aluminum swing arm would be nice but we can't be too picky.

The used dirt bike market seems to have disappeared around here so we're looking for a China bike. Right now the best selection and most up to date china bikes seem to be in Canada but those can't get through customs because of EPA and DOT regulations. That kind of red tape may be why China bikes seem to be few and far between in the US.

Does anyone know of a list of China bike dealers in the US?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

First of all, welcome to the forums. Tell us what area your in. Maybe someone close to you has some info on a nearby dealer.

We're in Michigan, tip of the thumb. Detroit is 140 miles south.

Thanks for the suggestion. Q link has a couple of dual sport bikes but doesn't seem to have any thing in offroad-only bikes. Is there anybody else you like?

Welcome! Try Pitster Pro http://www.pitsterpro.com/bikes They were originally top of the game in the pitbike market, but now have some very good dual-sport and off-road full-size dirt bikes.

The XTR 150 or 230 might be what I'm looking for. There seems to be zero videos or owner reviews online. Does anybody on chinariders have one of these?
