New to pit bikes.. Advice needed please!!

I'm new to pit bikes and just doing some window shopping at the moment... Can anyone give me some advice please on best value for money bikes?... been looking at Demon x XLR 160's, WPB 160, Stomp Z140 (ideally around the 700 squid mark) - Any advice welcome cheers.

They all seem pretty good, i just don't really know much about the build quality, reliability etc... There are a few more around that look good but as i've only ever rode MX i'm pretty clueless as far as pit bikes go!!

Well, choose the one that looks the prettiest to you & use the search function this forum has. If you search wpb 160 roughly 10000,00000 post has been made about it you can read everything there is to know about 99% of bikes on the market just by reading and searching

Initially just going out for a play around but eventually i expect i'll do some racing... The Demon x 160 seems quite good value for money and i hear good things.

I know that there's loads of stuff on the net but was just looking for a few personal opinions as alot of it contradicts itself.

Yeah i have, but as with mx there are alot of muppets out there that want to sell you pieces of crap.. ideally it would be good to find a bike that i know the history of, thats why i was thinking of brand new.
