    They look like crap, but I suppose they would be a great start.

    I did see the camo cheetah, that was ok, the white ones look too cheap

    Anyone have a photo of the Chinese made bike?

    It depends what you gonna use the bike for. If you want a budget bike to get around in, then I suppose it is ok. If you are a bike lover and want the best performance and handling, then get a second hand Jap bike and mod it up.

    Arrow Dunno how good they are.

    However I see no good reason why I would change from something good to the unknown.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Nah I want a trail bike, already have a road bike (CG125)

    I heard that they have good motors (they use honda motors) but the frame and forks are a bit iffy, can bend easily, so I might steer clear because I'll probably be crashing a bit cos I'm inexperinced offroad, and I'll get an XR250 or an XL250 or somthing.

    Biggest I can get is a 250 cos I'm on my learners.

    I wouldn't worry about the cc limit, the cops aren't going to be doing licence checks where you'll be going..
    We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

    but if your keen go and talk to the local bike shops and see if you can get spares for them easily enough.
