| Well I'm finally going back to work in about a week! Money's allready burnin a whole in my pocket. I want to get a Fiddy but really dont know where to start. I know where to buy one just dont know if I should buy new or used. If I buy new am I going to throw away half the bike doing upgrades? Guess I've got plenty of time to  on this but I'm anxious so any help would be appreciated. | |

| Ya its a bad ass bike though lol. Otherwise I would go with a pitster pro model. If you want to stay mainstream I reccomend the Kawasaki KLX 110 They are nice bikes also. If you want a 50 I like the Yamaha ttr's My friend has one with a 106 big bore kit and it gets it. | |

| Alright, if your budget allows i'd go with what H8 said, BBR are the sh!t. Ridden by Jermey Mcgrath and other pro riders. If your just starting, and think it may be a passing fad, you could go with a lower end bike. Pitsterpro, and motovert make very good bikes just short of BBR. If your really cheap you could go a PitPro. Now a word of warning, Atomik, Orion etc all those no names, are the cheapest peices of poop i've ever seen in my life. Do not buy them!!! That being said, back to the PitsterPro, you can upgrade the engine with parts such as Takegawa, insane power and speed. A takegawa 125, eats a 140 LIFAN. And you can get Akunar high lift cams etc. Pitsterpro and motovert have good upgrade capabilities. As well as being killer stockers. Just to add on, SSR are an ok bike. Not as known as PitPro so upgrades could be hard to find. And also, BBR are about 10,000 over here!
