That bike has obviously been abused. He didn't do any preride checks if bolts are coming out.
He could tell the difference between metric and standard so that is a good sign of his ability. It may not be a Jap bike, but if he needs rings in less than a year something is wrong. Most likely he did no maintenance. Allen

an mx bike, it is not, he probably bought it thinking he could do mx just because it's got a twin spar perimeter frame
also, i love the spelling of "narrorator" and "minumin" |

I wouldn't expect my bike to last long if I bottom the suspension out and dropped it alot too.
The fram crack is likely from hard landings that would damage other bikes too. I have seen xr80-100 that have been beaten with cracked frames. Allen

Wow! That was 8 minutes and some-odd seconds of pure Clown-osity!
This isn't "Why you shouldn't buy a Chinese D/B" This is "Why Children shouldn't be allowed to post on open forums..." An hour or two with the wrenched and a MIG and someone's going to have a decent Craig's List bike.... --Vince

Even a Jap dirtbike requires a few thousand in mods before it's ready to MX.
Necessary suspension mods alone may exceed 2-3 grand. What maybe 50 grand to prep a supercross bike?? :roll:

Classic display of China bikes owned by people that shouldn't own anything more complicated than a handfull of toilet paper.
I don't think a honda would have made him much happier...just would have taken a year longer to make this vid... Read some of the responses from his youtube peers...they seem as "intelligent "as this guy. P.s. I hope this does keep the masses from buying China bikes so they stay cheap and plentifull for US!
