There was a time when the only small motorcycles also known as pit bikes were from Japanese companies like Honda and Kawasaki. In recent years, these pit bikes are gaining in popularity, which has a large demand for them. Now the Chinese Manufacturers and others go into the gap. So-called off Thumpstar pit bikes as bicycles and Sikken pit bikes are fitted with Chinese engines and frames. The big question is, can these bikes are the Old Faithful Honda and Kawasaki models?

Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki are the staple when it comes to dirt bikes for years, and rightly so. These motorcycles are very competent and reliable. In recent years a number of Chinese, the motorcycles have the scene in the form of mini-motorbikes or bicycles pit. Why should people buy a motorcycle from China, if they can not be sure about the reliability? The reason is simple, they are much cheaper than their Japanese counterparts.

You can make a fool out completely Thumpstar pit bike for around $ 1500 new. When it comes to the new trick of BBR CRF100 You are looking at around 5500 $. That is quite a difference in price. There are many other brands of so-called knock off pit bikes like Pitt, Sikken, Thunder Pro, and the list goes on and on. All of them are similarly priced and the quality is about the same, depending on who you ask. Currently I have 2 own Thumpstar pit bikes, and I know some people who are the other so-called knock off brands such as Sikken so I can speak personally about the quality of these motorcycles.

Are they as good as a Honda or Kawasaki? The simple answer is no. These wheels have a way to go, based on the quality and performance of the Japanese brands, if they were all deceived. There is only one problem. When buying a Honda 50cc, it is bone stock. You need to upgrade the suspension, exhaust, engine and tune up to thousands of dollars. Well, I do not know about you, but I'm not spending $ 5500 on a small pit bike. This is why bikes with Chinese components, such as Thumpstar pit bikes are so popular. They come stock with a nice race exhaust system, suspension is better than the Honda, and some even now standard with Japanese Mikuni carburetor. I personally believe that most of the bikes off much nicer than the Honda and Kawasaki as well. In the course of time, of these motorcycles have become better and better.

Is not it impossible for Pit Bikes with Chinese parts? Surprisingly not. There are now many providers of these bikes, and with the Internet, it is easier to find for almost everything. There are many places to find aftermarket parts and upgrades for Thumpstar pit bikes and many others.

How did my 2 Thumpstar pit bikes stood up to the punishment of a tough season go? Well, I must say that they were simply great. The engine was a pleasant surprise, delivering smooth power through all 4 wheels. The suspension is quite stiff was even better than that, so I was satisfied. The frames are durable, and overall the wheels are very reliable. The problems I can only say that I had were that the chain dug the swingarm in the back of one of my Thumpstars, rattled a few screws, I replaced the lever, and some plastic cosmetic damage. The engines are running a little hot, so I am always present in oil cooler for my Thumpstar pit bikes, which I've seen a number of them for sale online.

If you are currently on the market for a pit bike it is up to you. Would you pay $ 5,500 for the best or would you prefer to pay about $ 1500 for a similar bike? It was a non-need for me. I am sure that the shelf life for my Thumpstar pit bike is less than a Honda, but who cares I just another in a few years and have even less money!
