Have a word with jt on the forum, his lad had a 50cc Rieju, so he could tell you about the quality.

There is a gas gas on sale on this forum going cheap ask delvey old but tidy ! On reflection the cheap jap trail bikes etc well you have always payed your money and so on drop one of these then chances are your bend the bars foot pegs have norm stuck out to far and have been in the pass abit low resulting in probs ,in retrospect there is less sus travel and being cheaper components your sus will wear out quicker poss not be able to rebuilder , and not have the same amount of adjustment ,on the road they will be more user friendly but off road there gearing will in due course need lowering all the above will add to the cost of your brand new steed alternative at the same price a good second hand enduro bike will not suffer any of these issues and will provide a better ride off road down side you may not be able to get the same finance deal at 0% I would say of all the lower end of the enduro /trail bikes the AJP and the FANTIC look good bits of kit with proper sus although the AJP needs some decent levers and are a little heavy compared to say a £7000 KTM ? The FANTIC uses Yamahas very modern and capable bored out water cooled engine check out you tube both brands are worth a look lost

 Ahh rite! Im 6 foot 3 so not really ideal for me. As you ride a gas gas how do you get over carrying oil on a long run? Do you have shots of oil or something?

I was thinking about getting a gasser!

cheers

There are other threads about this. I believe the general impression was a small bottle of oil would do a days riding easy.
