i've heard bad things about the second one, but that first one looks like a deal even if it is a knock-off, get it for $200, even if it brakes in two months it's worth it IMHO.

i don't know, for the cost of building and mark up for the retailer, that thing is probably pretty cheaply built. and you gotta remember not all knock offs except honda style parts unless you do some mods /grinding/welding

i would save and at least get a used CRF, you can get atricked out one for around 1k dollars

I asked the same thing on Fiddylife, and they pointed out that the shiping is $329.00 and if you pick up its still a $199 handling charge. They said its because ebay only charges you on sale price, not shipping, so the seller is just scamming ebay. Pretty shitty feedback on the guy lately too. stay away.
Ijust picked up an mint '00 xr50 for 500, the deals are out there, just wait for the real thing, you'll end up paying as much for broken parts on the knockoff in the end, and like Glenn said, the parts dont always fit.
