Has anyone bought one of the Chinese BAJA dirt bikes from CT ? I'm considering the 125 just for blasting around in the country since it's less than half the price of one from the Big Four. I'm not expecting Japanese quality, but wondering if it'll last for a few seasons before siezing !

A buddy bought one for his son, they are JUNK. Lasted 3 weeks before the kickstarter spline broke. He's been waiting 5 weeks for parts!

Thanks for the replies. I've heard similar horror stories. I think I'll get a Honda.
