This bike is a great lil bike if your looking for somthing to give you that 10" minibike rush.
For starters this isnt your usual CRF50 copy this beast has a 110 motor fitted into the standard CRF50 size setup so it goes very well indeed,also it has a 4 speed manual box fitted instead of a 3 speed semi.Some will prefer the semi over the manual on such a bike but i guess thats just personal prefferance.
This bike is amazing value for what you get the build quality is very good i havent broken anything on the bike after riding it all day and im a big lad so if anything was to break it would have.
Just remember this is a chinese copy bike so the usual pre ride inspections are very important.Always check EVERY nut and bolt for tightness before riding it for the first time and at half hour intervals for the duration of running the bike in and DONT forget the spokes!

You will need to buy a few things for it if your an adult like me intending to use it seriously off road as we all know this bike is designed for the younger riders out there not 16 stone lanky gits like me.
First things first you will need some bar risers which i found here http://www.ghostbikes.com/pp/SPARE_PARTS/Dream/HANDLE_BAR_CLAMP_FOR_DREAM.html for only £17.50 delivered.

Then youll need some higher bars,i used pro tapers but you can get the less expensive 909 bars for £24.95 from our forum sponsor Future Racing here http://www.futureracingmotocross.co.uk/pages/pitbike-accessories-bars.html

Also the foot pegs and mount will need changing as the ones supplied do not have any springs fitted so when you lean the bike over in the turns the pegs hit and stay in the upright possition so you have knowere to put your foot.This can be highly annoying as you have to keep looking down at your pegs ,again these are only around a tenner on ebay for the mount and pegs with springs fitted so not a big deal realy.

After running the bike in for an hour or two you will want to replace the cooking oil that most chinese bikes are supplied with as standard for engine oil with a decent brand 10w 40 oil which again is only cheap at around £6.50 a ltr.
I would also suggest some heavier fork oil as the forks are a little soft for adults but seem to work well.
A decent 10wt oil should be fine,15wt if you like your jumps!
Overall this bike rocks, i had an excellent day out on it and never once did the smile leave my face ,For a couple of hundred pounds and the extra parts i have listed to make it adult proof which come under a £100 you realy cant go wrong.
