Out of them i would go for the trickstar.
My bike which cos £310 delivered and it has a 12 month warranty so if anything brakes then im covered where as most have a 7 day or a 30 day warranty. It was off ebay. Theres loads on there.

Ok you are right the Trickstar in the link does have usd's but I thought we were comparing like for like prices Stomp vs Trickstar
The Trickstars coming through as available on price like for like 110cc don't have usd's.
This is like for like price with the Stomp 110 fx
http://www.trickstarbikes.com/bikes/spp110minipro/spp110minipro.php
and It don't have usd's

i know this probably sounds stupid but wats the difference between usd's and normal ones
..........about 60 quid buddy!.......lol
nah seriously.....they give a better quality feel to the bikes ride....they are fatter up the top than normals hence firmer less flex around the yokes.
go try them in a shop and see for yourself.

Stomp has put the prices up for the 110 Its now £399 + delivery
Have a look
http://stompracing.co.uk/fun_bikes.html
The trickstar 125cc with the usd forks is £399 + delivery
http://www.trickstarbikes.com/bikes/...spp125proc.php (http://www.trickstarbikes.com/bikes/spp125proc/spp125proc.php)
So the "like for like" prices the trickstar wins.
But i think if you get the stomp from power pit bikes the forum sponser i think they could give you a deal. Maby so that you can get the stomp for less.

The price has gone up cos there are only a few left till tye end of month.....so they can pretty much put any price on them or you can wait....or buy a Trickstar....ahem!

thanks for your replys i will probably wait until the 110fx comes back in stock and goes down in price as they sound quite good. also i would like to know if there are many upgrades you can do on a 110fx that would make it faster and longer lasting?

dan-mel
10-04-2007, 11:49 PM
You dont need to do anything when you get it. My bike is stock apart from a fuel filter so i dont get any crap in the engine.
I think usd forks are a sale gimmic unless they are adjustable cos thats the only reason why you might need usd forks so that the adjuster are on the top if you have adjustable gas forks which most dont.
Pitbikeboy
10-04-2007, 11:50 PM
ok thanks do they have a website?

dan-mel
11-04-2007, 10:03 PM
lol, get what ever ya want.
the 140 is 12hp
the 125 is about 8 or 9hp
and the 110 will be about 6 or 7hp
Pitbikeboy
11-04-2007, 11:13 PM
out of all 3 wat one has the best quality and would require least fixing?
dan-mel
11-04-2007, 11:24 PM
they all look on par to me but until you get one or know some one who has one you will not know which is best quality.
I would go for the 140 because of the bigger engine. But unless you brake it it shoudnt need fixing solong as you check everything when it comes and maintain it well.

has your bike ever broke?
dan-mel
12-04-2007, 12:33 AM
I fell off and broke stuff.
But it came with a bust rear brake and im sending off for a new one in the warranty so its free.
Pitbikeboy
12-04-2007, 12:34 AM
oh ok is it nice to ride because it looks it and its quite cheap so i can afford upgrades
dan-mel
12-04-2007, 12:48 AM
Yea its canny good. I put on better tyres cos the stock ones suck arse. And it needs a better rear shock cos im too heavy for it and it keeps bottoming out. But it might not with you.
The gear pattern is strange cos its all down with neutrat at the top 4-3-2-1-N which is realy helpful when you are goin fast cos its easier to click it down rather than up.
Pitbikeboy
12-04-2007, 12:51 AM
cool i think im gonna forget the stomp its too expensive for wat it is im really interessted in the demon 140 you showed me because its quite cheap and its oil cooled

12-04-2007, 01:07 AM

I think you should wait till the new 140cc Superstomp comes at the end off the month, ring Stomp up and ask for the spec..

do you roughly know how much it would cost?
atticus
12-04-2007, 02:26 PM
My guess would be that it'll go back to the original price; £408 (i think)
But no doubt there will be some up on eBay for less like there was last time. £349 i think they were on eBay at

The only way you can garantee quality is with a long warranty or garuntee cos this shows that the sellers trust there products not to brake. imo
