Buying my first chinese bike and need advice

[NinjaPossum]

So Im preparing to pull the trigger on a dirtbike tonight and keep looking at all the 250-300cc bikes on the Chinese market. I'm stuck between the trailmasters and the Xpro's. Regardless, I just want a bike that's going to be a solid choice for a 250lb 6'1 rider and still has plenty of get up and go while being good quality for Chinese quality, if you know what I mean. I'm stuck between the Templar and the Trailmaster 35. Both bikes seem to be able to get the job done, but I'm still interested in the 300cc models.

Any advice?

#1
buy a Chinese bike with a carburetor. Oh EFI is great when it works, but nightmare when it does not.
#2
buy the bike you want (hp, suspension, style-dual sport or enduro)
#3
Expect to do lots of work getting it ready for riding. There is NO dealership support and everything is on YOU.

Just a headsup

By the way, I love the Trailmasters specs. TM36, or even better TM38

Installing lighting and getting past State roadworthy requirements aren't that bad. DO IT!!!!!!!

thanks for replying. I'm not scared of the work so that'll be fun. I'm having a hard time finding a TM36 from a reputable company thpugh.
