Pit Bikes vs Fiddy?

I was looking on ebay today at pitbikes and I saw a few nice looking ones but wasn't sure if they were as good for stunting as say the CRF 50. What are your guys oppinions? I found one for $1800 bucks with a bunch of cool sht. Its got front and rear disk brakes with slotted wave rotors, steel braided lines, billet aluminum frame, 4 speed tranny w/ clutch, and fully adjustible shocks and forks. Plus it goes like 55-60. I am going to buy something to practice on pretty soon here, and I wanted to get something stunt worthy and fun to ride. I don't know much about this kind of thing but it seams like it would cost a lot more to buy a CRF50 and do all this stuff to it. Would pit bikes be the way to go, or do fiddys have an advantage to them that I don't know about? How good would a bike like this be to learn on? Click the link below and let me know what you guys think.

Re: Pit Bikes vs Fiddy?

Thanks guys for your posts. I went out today and bought a 2007 CRF 50. I have ridden it a little, up and down the street a few times today. I need bigger bars cause I'm a little to big for stock. My friend was telling me that I could just get a longer bar stem to make them higher. Is it worth it? If not what are the best bar kit for my bike? I saw one on 50Stunt.com,for like $225 heres the link below. Tell me what you giuys think, and let me know if there is somethink better.
Thanks guys!

The only big bars I have experienced are BBR but I have nothing but good to say about them

The 50stunt big bars are mad with .125 wall tubing so they can take a beating on the street!!! And the triple clamps capture the top of the fork tubes for added strength also. You can't go wrong with the quality either :YEAH

I have 50 stunt bars, they're definitely sweet. I used to run pro taper bars and I liked them a lot, but the 50 stunt bars are great quality and they look bad ***.

Re: Pit Bikes vs Fiddy?

i had was once in the same position. A honda 50 costed more than those generic 110 cc pitbikes that are already tricked out. Boy do I regret buying those POS generics..... For some reason they were WAY harder to balance, and stuff broke and they couldn't even get replacement parts for me. Honda is the only way to go.
