Greetings from Western Canada

Wmyers13 · 05-31-2022, 02:48 AM

I joined this forum as I've been looking for an inexpensive starter bike for my 13 year old daughter.

I'm an experienced Harley and Triumph rider myself and am admittedly leery of Chinese bikes.

I bought her a Coleman mini bike last year and the build quality is far from Harley standards but it's served her well.

I'm seriously considering the 125cc dirt bike from Venom. It was searching for reviews of the seller that led me here.

Welcome,

The same thing led me here as well. I'm a Harley owner as well and wanted an inexpensive dirt bike for when I head down to Terlingua, Tx. I didn't want someone else's headache so I skipped the Marketplace and looked into Chinese bikes. Ended up buying a Templar X 250 and was really impressed with what I got for the money.

I would 100% recommend the bike to a friend, so take your time, like it seems your already doing, and I am sure you'll be happy with what you find.

Good luck and enjoy the ride

Hello from another western Canadian!
Pretty slim pickings on this side of the border for the Chinese bikes, there used to be quite a bit of selection 10 or so years ago but it mostly dried up.
I've never bought from Venom myself but I did have a couple of GIO ATV's that I bought back when they had an online auction site. Overall quality was quite low, but the motors ran well and never gave me any trouble.
Best of luck in your hunt.
