First off, I would like to say that I am a tinkerer. I am a techie. I don't mind taking out a screwdriver. I am patient. I know my way around wiring. If you don't, and you aren't interested in the least bit of messing around, learning as you go, and overall then go down to your local Kawasaki dealership and spend 4x what you pay for this, and get the same amount of bike.

The bike came in a steel frame that saved it from serious damage but bore the brunt of the shipment from China. The shipping frame absolutely damaged beyond repair, but the bike was intact. It took me extra long to pry it from the steel frame as the screws were bent. and you don't want to touch that Chinese steel shipping frame without gloves on. Believe me. I hope that was coke covering the crappy steel, but my hands turned black from it.

The bike came missing one part. A carriage bolt to hold the suspension up. Support actually exists and will ship me the missing part, hopefully soon. Meanwhile I was still able to get it together with some creative thinking and a trip to the hardware store.

You have to fill the battery with supplied water and the whole nine yards. It all came together pretty fast. At first, the bike wouldn't idle. A quick reference to the manual found the idle screw needed adjusting. It idled fine then. I am going to upgrade to a Mikuni Carburetor (vm26 30mm), as I have read the carb on this bike isn't splendid. But that's alright. It makes up for it in many other ways. My neighbor in the country (don't get this bike if you don't have acreage around to enjoy) came over to take a gander and instantly noticed that it has a metal fuel tank. That's unlikely and I am glad it does. Newer bikes come with a synthetic or plastic tank. This bike is overbuilt. It is a heavy bike but it has quite a bit of umph.

TL;DR WORTH EVERY PENNY. BUY IT NOW. And get your tools out, you will learn some mechanics on the way in order to get the most out of it. You won't find something even close for this price.

I purchased this bike in the late spring to ride along side our brand new ATV. Here are my thoughts after approximately 400 miles of riding:

Overall: This a great bike for the price. Shipping was a little slow, but eventually came through and was delivered right to my house on a pallet . The overall weight of the bike is about 350 pounds shipped and it feels every bit of it. Assembly was fairly straightforward there are some decent enough guides on YouTube that demonstrate some of the typical confusing bits. However, you will want to have someone with some mechanical ability just to do the little assembly required. It really comes down to handlebars, bolting the suspension, throwing on the front tire. With some tweaking of the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor the bike will eventually come to life. Once , assembled the bike is large don't let any of the little pictures for you for someone who is approximately 5 foot nine I have to tiptoe to touch the ground. It even does fairly well with someone who has as large of a frame as I do over 200 pounds.

The good:

Once you get the motor running correctly and the carb set up it does pretty well with power. Definitely enough to hurt you.
The stock tires do well enough I have ridden trails all over on sand, mud, dirt etc. I am able to do nearly as much on the trails as anyone else out there on a nearly $10,000 bike.
Electric start is very convenient
Once I receive the Bill of sale from the seller I was able to title the bike very easily in my state ( I did have to pay some taxes though).

The "bad":
Quality control in summer specs is slightly lacking you will definitely need to Loctite anything that will move, seriously every bolt I almost lost the rear sprocket.
Some of the parts bolts and materials are quite weak there are quite a few parts that you would eventually want to replace such as the bolts to adjust the chain tension etc. really nothing too costly but again if you are willing to do maintenance this probably isn't the machine for you
Suspension is rock hard and I really mean that I can't find any resource to help me soften it anymore than I have so I guess I'll just deal with it .
I have had to replace the tube on the rear tire but that could've obviously been my fault.
The stock engine oil as junk replace it immediately but that's cheap enough and easy enough on this bike .
It has a pretty uncomfortable seat for long rides but you might find that on most bikes that this is a clone of. Kind of hard to faulted for this but I feel like you may want to be aware if you plan on doing all day rides. This bike is meant for trails this isn't really a motorcross bike.

In conclusion if you're willing to do work, troubleshoot, and perform maintenance this is a great value. It took me quite some time to get it running correctly a lot of people have issues with the carburetor. However, once I fully cleaned the carburetor, and adjusted the valves the bike is able to run without issue. This bike is pretty much the same in a mechanical sense as the hawk 250 there are a lot of YouTube videos on that machine as well that would help you with this one. There are resources online and a decent community that would help and provide some guidance. However, if all you want is a machine that you pour gas and hit the key this probably isn't for you. But it is served me well this summer and I look forward to putting hundreds of more miles on it .

I purchased this bike from a dealer for a couple hundred more than advertised on here. I was skeptical at first but did a lot of research before my purchase. It was my 14 year old first dirt bike so I didn't want to spend much if he decided he didn't like riding. It's been over a year and this bike has held up strong and endured some abuse. It is a great bike, just as good as name brand in my opinion. It starts up every time and the only thing we've had to replace is a tube for the back tire (outside of regular maintenance). If you have reservations... know that it is a great bike for the price and I highly recommend it.
Update: it's been a year and just now started having issues. Replaced Carburator and still keeps bogging down. Ran great while it lasted :(

Don't underestimate this bike because it's not a 'name brand' dirt bike. It's a great deal, and totally worth it. Trust me it isn't slow, it's a full size dirt bike. I'm 6' and I can barley touch the ground. Ignore the people who say these bikes are trash, great deal for what you pay for. Just have to be sure to prepare to maintenance, just like every other motorcycle.

I have been riding motorcycles for over 40 years. I own a RMZ250, Husqvarna CR 250 and a Honda CR 250. This is about my 300th motorcycle. I bought it to see what Chinese bikes were all about and have been impressed. It does not have much power compared to my other dirt bikes but it is a lot of fun ripping through the woods. The riding position is on the weird side with a higher than I am used to riding position. I removed the chain guard, kick stand, grips and bar pad the first hour. I put on Scott grips and a Renthal bar pad. Having electric start is nice and I do not have any carb issues that I read about. I run 92 octane Sunoco gas and it runs without any hesitation. I have been choosing this bike over the other lately because it is less work to ride. I did Loctite the whole bike so I have not had any loose bolts or lost any parts. I am 6'4" 240lbs. Power is fine. I climb everything with no issue. I have nothing bad to say about it.
