No it's a piece of crap, but if I got it really cheap I'd buy it and putter around on it, but dont expect anything on it to last any rough treatment AT ALL.

a flogged out japanese bike is a lot less likely to fall apart.
the engines on those chinese pieces of shit dont seem tooooo bad though. seem to be quite reliable, just really gutless for their size

With in the first day you will replace every bolt because the standard ones will brake like they are made of plastic, if you jump it the frame will crack, Brakes work good and engine isnt to bad but those are the only surviving parts on my mates one. Buy a older honda or sumthing

i have a 98 XR250. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=110995
it has been well looked after by us. how tall are you? how much you looking to spend?
This would be much better than a chinese bike

Is it pronounced Shine-ray or does it rhyme with Whineray?

Cheap branded bikes like that are the ones that we loathe turning up to our trail rides. They are easily spotted by the trail of discarded parts leading to the broken down remains and a disgruntled rider in need of rescue.

This is actually one of the things that will positively shape your life. Forget those faggots, and start saving, and never borrow for anything ever again. In ten years you will be 1000 times better off.
