If assembly isnt a problem, ill assume youd be knowledgeable enough to buy a used bike, fix any problems, and save alotta money. $1500 is alot for a bike your gonna be going around in circles with.
i agree with ruff...not only that but you can pick one up locally thats used and that has a good rep....because you might not know exactly what your getting at the online place. plus the more well known brands will keep resale better.
i've been searching for used bikes everywhere for months and nothing....almost found a honda 185cc....but it had no engine lol...just a 185 frame...and thats about it for my 2k i have to spend
well i decided im gunna buy...or rather my dad has lol....anyways...anything i should be aware of going from a TTR 90 to a 200cc enduro?? all my dirtbiking experience has been with that little 90 that i broke the kickstand/gearlever from wheelie fallin ^^
although I am gonna kick myself for saying it, why not look for a used KDX200? There are zillions of them out there. There's also zillions of parts for them. Matter of fact, they even have their own forum here: KDX FORUM
if you ask those guys, the KDX200 is the only bike ever made . . . ;)
Yea, sorry about that.....not trying to be mean or anything. But a TTR-90 runs pretty good, and I think that enduro copy is gonna be a disapointment to you. It might do ok for a while, but it won't hold up like a Yamaha, or any other big 5 bike for that matter. YZ165
The difference in power, ( i went from a 1980's z50r mini to a Honda '96 CR250r) it might take some getting used to. I'm 15, and stand at 6 foot 1, weigh about 190, and the power difference for me was like .. O,o .. Holy! It probably wont be as extreme a transition for you as it was for me, since what you bought is a 4stroke enduro, and me a 2stroke MX. But you'll probably end up stalling alot for the first few days like me (better to stall than to flip that kinda bike in my opinion). I wish i bought a 4storke instead.. street legal n stuff.. but , take your time learning on it :D
yeah that was my question too...well hopefully once it breaks and i can't find any parts for it....hopefully my daddy can spot me and get a dirt bike that i can legalize (spelling?).... :ride:
wow this is some change from a ttr-90....the front wheel is taller than the Yami lol i've only stalled it once so far...yay im going to a trail tomorrow hopefully nothing bad will happen >.>
Its all good!, when it comes to dirt riding. Just keep us informed with your progress. Others may consider that bike! You can help them in the future with your input. :moon:
hmmm...well after assembly'n it i thought it was all good...but just to make sure i took it to my uncle who builds bikes for a living...he said it was fine. so i took it riding and now its a piece of junk that moves....all the screws and bolts come lose and the chain falls off every 15 mins of riding the engine was spewing fire!!...i rode my friends crf-100...that thing is WAY better than this "DZ-200" and the parts are a problem >.< the front fender broke off because of vibration... its made out of pot metal and...my front rim is bent...whew...ok im looking for a 2 stroker...but im a poor sob so here are my choices on carsoupe this ----> http://www.carsoup.com/used/detail....hID=9499720&vehicleTypeID=3&UVViewID=4&Page=4 or this -----> http://www.carsoup.com/used/detail....hID=9500228&vehicleTypeID=3&UVViewID=4&Page=4
TheJMan, Wish I'd have seen this thread sooner. My father has what I believe is a Suzuki SP200, which looks a lot like this bike you bought (an air-cooled dual sport 200), except it is a well put together bike. He has barely ridden it through the years, so it is in great shape and he said he'd part with it for $1000. It looks like this one, though without asking him, I can't verify the year:
