Was looking at getting a 50 to stunt, and was wondering what the deal was with this knock off 50's that are real cheap. Should prob wait till I can buy an actual Honda, see as a 200 pound man on a kids bike likely to break things, just wondering if anyone had any experirence with them.

Most everyone we ride with that has gone that route has either sold it after a little while or converted the big motor over to a frame,forks and swingarm from a Honda.

I agree with Bikefrk. I bought a china fifty to stunt, put alot of money into setting it up and ended up cracking the subframe 3 times. I bought an 02 XR frame and swingarm on ebay and put my 107cc motor on it. The motor is great but the metal and workmanship on the rest (at least the one I had) is sub-par.
