Re: Pros/cons.
jack - don't do it. Bad move.
You are trading a sort of reliable pit bike for a coin toss reliable minimoto.
I'd put money on the fact you have already done it, or won't listen - but unless you have somewhere to ride it, what is the point?
The cags are poo slow too. b1 rep is a bit quicker, but boils over all the time and has terrible build quality.
I went back to back from my b1 rep to a GRC proddy when a lad let me have a little go of his- its unbelivable! I don't fit on them very well so never made the jump - but if I was to get one I wouldnt think of a chinese one.
