From Lake Forest (Orange Cty) CA... Hi China Bike fans! In case anyone likes "history", I'll give a little bit of mine...
I got my first minibike in 1970 at age 12 (anyone remember those..with the lawnmower engines?). This was in the burbs of Chicago before everything was wall-to-wall houses. I "graduated" the next summer to a Honda 50 C110...my first "clutch". I received a brand new 1972 Kawasaki 100 enduro at age 14...rode almost every day after my paper route..even in winter (ever ride on a frozen pond?). Fast forward to College...NIU...I bought a Suzuki TS400 (enduro); actually commuted 55 miles to Dekalb for a whole semester. After graduating college I came to CA, but I bought a street bike, (Kaw 750). I didn't get bike into dirtbiking until 3 years ago when I bought my then-11-year-old son a Suzuki DRZ110, and me a beat-up 1986 Suzy DR200...it would run sometimes...
Last Jan, I went with my brother to buy his 2 sons (ages 9 & 11) a new Quad he saw advertised for $800 for 110cc. I saw the 300 Street/Dirt bike and couldn't resist the price...Suzuki engine, electric start (I'm old now)...
I hope to someday find some accessories, especially a better rear shock. Otherwise, it suits me just fine, and I'm not that easy on bikes. Cheers.
