best bang for your buck 50?

hey guys, I"m lookin at moving up the stuntin evolutionary latter,and getting a fiddy.

there are tons of knockoffs i know, but i'd like something cheap, reliable, and that will be pretty easy to work on.

I know someone who will part with there old school Z50 for around 300-400 bucks.

what would you guys roccomend? remember, I"m not made of money(it's why i stunt my bicycle).

if any of you have a fiddy that you wouldn't mind parting with for decently cheap, go ahead and PM me.


for those of you who haven't already seen it, here is me on my bicycle:

Re: best bang for your buck 50?

i'm gonna have to agree here, i was looking to get a knockoff for a lil while, then i rode one. just didn't feel "tight", and the metal in them was cheap, the think just didn't look like it would hold up to stuntin too well.
i ended up with an '04 crf in trade (thanks again wags) and have been beating the crap out of it every day since, and the most i've done is bend a shift lever.

i tried stuntin an extreme 107, and it just kind of fell apart, things were constantly breaking, and i ended up doing alot of welding to keep the thing going. in the end....


shoulda bought a honda

Re: best bang for your buck 50?

yes, Pete they are hondas and they are very good bikes, my son got an 84 model when he was 5, he rode it until last year, (6 years)... The only thing we ever had to replace was the tires,levers, and shifter, but thats all from being dropped. It was a beast, I say get it, you'll love it and it will do until you can afford something newer.
