Which Bike?

Hi

Basically i've done a search and havent really found any conclusive answers to which bike to go for. I had a go on a mates 125cc Orion which i liked alot. He got it from power off road cheap but theyre closed now?

Basically i have seen -

http://www.motobikespares.com/pit-bi...lack-p-45.html

http://www.myfirstchopper.com/2007-1...lue-p-100.html

http://www.ghostracingseries.com/Spe...c-Dirtbike.htm

Or maybe?

http://www.ghostracingseries.com/Spe...ro-PitBike.htm

Basically i'm not going to be going mad on it. I just want something thats fairly quick and that i can have a laugh on, oh and for as cheap as poss! The only other thing is i'm 6ft so would like something that isnt too small? The orion is quite a right size for me i found. Will the above be similar?

all 110 and 125 pitbkes are mostly around the same size mate

but then you get the crf50's and reps and rcf50's which are a wee bit smaller than the others

cheers

Out of the ones you listed I would go for http://www.ghostracingseries.com/Spe...ro-PitBike.htm which looks great, has 14" & 12" rear rims and the frame is strong. One thing I do recommend is when you get the bike check the bike over, I mean every nut and bolt is tight as it needs to be, including to check your spokes.

As for Rampages comparing.
I have a Rampage 125 which I used for a big event a while back.
In standard form I was pee'd all over by most of the other bikes.
Only my riding managed to keep me on the straight and narrow
They are great bikes for riding around for fun but we all know that when you have a group of you together on a track then its normally more than just fun.
I cant fault the Rampage for the money its a tank and will take a good battering.
I rode it for approx 5 hours that day and spent the whole time pinning it.
I dont know what your buget is but a second hand monster for £500 would be a safe bet.
