I was looking online for bikes and saw great deals EX: 2008 cbr 1000rr for $2800, guess someone really wanted to get rid of it. But I don't have that kind of money now. So what did I do? I just purchased a X18 R super pocket rocket. Once you stop laughing please read on. Does anyone know how I will be able to up the performance, maybe get 75mph out of the bike? And what is the reputation for these bikes? Thank you, and hope I made you laugh. See you on the streets. Got the bike and making mods already. Chinese POS but it's my POS, and it looks great and so far performing well.
There are some acceptable quality chinese bikes so i have heard. I had one for a year and it was a total POS. Sold it for what i paid for it, bought a yamaha majesty which was the best balance of performance and economy with a very high build quality of any bike i have owned. They are out there used for reasonablemoney, 70 mpg, 100 mph top speed, single cyl/w balance shaft. Take a look on fleabay and you will prob find one.
