are they worth buying, or just junk?
Didn't know they made them. Ask yourself 1 question - what usually comes out of China?
I know that they're junk compared to a Honda, but they don't have the premium price, either. A medium sized frame, 250cc (think Honda Recon) can be had for $2K vs $4200 for the Recon.
Not worth the trouble. How about looking for a used(honda, yamaha) one?
I have been looking for a good used Honda or Yamaha and there are plenty of them on the market. But, for some reason, most people seem to think that their 5 or 10 year old 4 wheeler is still worth nearly the original purchase price. I just can't see paying that much for a used one when I can add $500 to it and get a brand new one with a warranty.Quote:

One problem with some of the "off-brand" chinese stuff is lack of support for replacement parts. Maybe not as much of a concern for a new machine, but for some of the older stuff, it can be really hard to find OEM parts.
Shadboy what about a new honda or yamaha and make a payment once a month? Less than a $100 a month? They may have some deals going on right now. When I shopped for mine the cheapest place I found was in Florence SC (honda). They did not charge for title work or freight charge. If you want I can ask this guy at work if he has sold his yet. I want to say it's a honda but can't remember but I don't go back until next week. I'm on vacation this week.
Thanks a lot for the reply. I actually purchased a used 2015 Honda Recon today.Quote:

A few years back I bought a couple of Chinese mini dirtbikes for my boys. One of the problems with this equipment is no shop or mechanic wants to talk to you about service , repairs or parts. And things are going to break!Quote:
