hey all, im new to the china riding scene. i was just wondering if you could give me any information about which dual sport dirt bike would be a great beginner bike. I want a 200cc engine atleast. my mother has a roketa scooter and hasnt had any problems with it. ive looked into roketa 200cc dual sport dirt bikes and they seem pretty good. i would like to stay around 900 dollars. also...i found a website that is selling 200cc dirt bikes for 600 dollars brand new...but there is no manufacturer or brand. seems kinds sketch....

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!

Welcome!

The DS guys will be along eventually, but there won't be many recommendations at that price level. For around twice your budget, you can get into a Q-link, which is a real favourite around here, and it's Suzuki-based. The Honda clone products (like Roketa) can usually be had for less.

Welcome; we are glad you joined us!

I think the least expensive, dual sport, Honda clones are currently selling for about $1,300, delivered. Can you post some links for the dirt bikes, and other bikes you are considering?
