I've been riding a long...long time (yeah, maybe I'm getting old :) Anyway, these things are exactly what the Japanese bikes USED to be. The Japanese machines were affordable, fun alternatives to the European offerings. Now these are affordable, fun alternatives to the European and Japanese offerings. I'm actually happy to see these being brought into the country. They'll allow a bunch of kids to start riding.

"hey im not a biologist but that felt more like 50" im dying lmao

You guys are so lucky to own one dirt bike my dream is to own a dirt bike to ride around in I've been wanting one ever since I was like 4 and plus I could have got one but they are too expensive and I am so sad I want one so so so bad and watching your guys' videos make me want one even more! :( I love your content and subscribed a while ago

First two mins of the video and I can already tell I’m dealing with two geniuses😭🤣

Definitely buying one. Re-jet the carb slightly for more torque and top speed. Maybe work on airbox if needed. Perfect little dirt bike for goofing off

i bought this exact bike as a pit bike in 2021 and it can take an absolute beating and honestly i havent had hardly any issues with it other than the back tire spokes breaking.

“This water is from china” it’s battery acid buddy😂😂😂

The amount of detail they put on the plastics on these can unease bikes is surprising

I've had a Chinese cruiser since 2007 and it still looks ok and still starts of the button i changed the sprockets and carb instantly I also took it all to bits and coated the bolts and frame in rust protector it has never let me down and manages to turn heads as it has a unique look

This is how KZfaq used to be

Been riding for over 2 years, started on a pitster pro 150, wrecked that 08/20/23 at 7:14pm and broke my hand in the wreck, went up to Honda and bought a 250f on 08/22/23 at 12:36pm, been enjoying the upgrade a lot and so has my dad

I've had 2 Chinese bikes and I loved them both, cheap, fun and easy to work on, they are perfect for new riders, some things will come loose or need replaced, it's usually always minor things but is a great opportunity for new riders to learn to work on their bike it themselves

Bro was that a dirt bike swing set??? Lol that was amazing.😂

If you get a bigger, better carb and play with the jet sizes a little they really open up. The stock carbs are really underwhelming and these bikes run extremely lean from the factory.

Upgraded jet kit on that or carb upgrade plus new jet kit would make that a lot faster and a new exhaust upgrade as well you’ll see the difference for sure you’ll be able to do wheelies on it a lot easier as well

This was sick to watch so raw, not the best riders but can ride 💯 sick vid and yeah it’s not a main manufacturer bike shiiid your having fun and what it’s about 🔥

These boys livin their lifes

The exhaust system is, likely, restricted. The welds are not dressed down, inside the exhaust piping. The bike will lose the, strange mid - range running and increase acceleration and top end, when cleaned out. The smaller a Chinese engine is, the greater the exhaust system restriction will be. That's the average rule of thumb for American consumers. Good video, here! That's an awesome old Honda 4wheeler!👍

thanks fellas, y’all reminded me of so many days of doing all the same things in this video back when i was y’all’s age. if only youtube was as big back then so we could have been making money off the silly vids we use to make.

liked and subbed instantly after that intro lmao

I bought this bike against a lot of peoples advice… I sold it 5 months later.. To be honest, it’s not bad to get a brand new bike for that cheap and you can have a lot of fun on it but now with my experience, I’d give the same advice as everyone else… If you can afford a nice brand name bike, do it. If you can’t, find a used one for the price you’d pay for this. The reasons- •Parts. You get what you pay for, like cheap rims and aluminum gas tanks with faulty welds that crack in less than a month of super easy riding.. Or dry rotted hoses that came with it.. Or cheap leaky acid batteries.. Or a rear break mounting mechanism that rips the caliper off when using it facing the top of a steep incline.. •Parts, but again: You may think “Oh, I can use pretty much any parts from a Honda 230 or some other bike!” Lol, there’s some that are interchangeable but pretty much everything you can expect to crap out soon is proprietary, and ya know the ONLY place you can get most the parts for it? A website based out of the Netherlands, so you wait about a month to get your poly gas tank so you can ride again, you put it on and then your rear brake fails the next ride and you get to wait another month if the Texas site doesn’t have it in stock! •Power: This was my first bike, so it was great to learn on but I quickly found myself needing more. You can still get just about anywhere other bikes can, but you’re not bringing the front up over a rut on dirt in 2nd or higher, so if you ride with experienced friends you will not keep up on certain terrain and they will have to constantly wait for you. Once all the things that can be helped are remedied, it’s a pretty solid bike and would even be practical if you got the street version where it’s legal, but for anything else I’d suggest go with the normal green blue or red, even if it is 5-10 years old. If you STILL buy this thing like I did though, just do yourself the favor and order a poly tank right away, along with a decent battery. I’d also recommend buying new wheels, if you hit a sidewalk crack too hard with the stock ones they will bend and warp. You’re going to want to re-jet it right away as they come super lean but that’s pretty cheap and easy. Lastly, and I know it’s a pain in the ass, learn how and adjust the valves. With just a valve adjustment and re-jet the bike will feel MUCH better. Hope this advice helps someone, and would love to see an update video 6 months to a year from now.. But I’d be willing to bet a couple bucks this bike won’t still be around by then 😂

Room tour with all your old fish tanks and you should do some of that stuff again

I clicked on this video not really thinking to much but i gotta say i loved the video. earned a sub!

You guys are Mazing and underrated

That’s a neat little lawn mower you’ve got there!!!

"I'm not a biologist or anything but it felt closer to 50 not 70" lmfao

this is so cool i love dirt bikes and have always wanted one lol

I got the 125 used for 400, looks brand new. Kid never road it. I put a new carb on it after cleaning the gas tank she's a beast.

You should enter a race with it 😂

“80,000 rpm’s per millisecond”.

The funniest lookin machine i done ever seen the handlebars are what get to me most 😂

Man riding the clutch like that made his clutch plates happy I bet

I think you should put a new carburetor on it and re-gear it if you don’t like the power

"It ain't got the most torque in the world" he says while in last gear

I have to say I bought a Chinese Apollo 110cc and I’ve had no problems with it. It was my first bike but I will say one difference between me and them was that I got like from a dealership so it was built my professional mechanics and they test ride the bikes before they sell them

I have a xmoto 125cc and I throw that thing around like crazy, surprisingly reliable bike, only problem I’ve had it popping inner tubes, and I ride it daily

you were having that thing in high gears for such a low speed, it's not good to bog down a motor, especially a Chinese bike. Just a heads up but gl with the new dirt bike!

I’d love to have this thing and finnaly be able to ride with my friends

"not that i would know, but freedom of speech i guess" golden line

It's a 230 Replica. So add a Big Bore Kit. Port the Exhaust & Intake Valves. Take out the Catalytic Converter In the front of the Exhaust.. Bigger flat slide Carb& Air Filter.. Add a Larger Cam. It will be a Monster.

when you feel like your gonna eat it when wheeling use the back brake.

Epic vid bro 🤝

i love the apollos. i have 2 of their 110s. but for 2,200 i’m definitely buying a used klx250 or a older 450

These type of bikes are the perfect beginner bike, they are cheap for brand new the performance is decent and a great bike to learn on, then if you decide riding is something for you buy something more expensive and serious, this is also safer because your learning on a slower bike and step up speed as you step up your skills.

Rev the bike out more and you'll get the torque ur looking for

I can confidently say I’ve been here since 20k now subNing rn

Fun fact: The longer you watch this video the more country he becomes

For the price u are much better off buying a used Honda

Those radiator fins though 😆😅🤣

I’ve been waiting to get a Dirtbike for so long I want one so bad thanks for the suggestion of this bike I love your content thanks

If u want a cheap full size dirtbike look at the ssr 250, 300, and 450

A way to get that to run better it put a new carburetor on it

Bro it is so funny when they fall and get back up and what they say 😂

Filling it up with diesel with the Kan that says gas on it😂❤

Bro you are shifting gears way to quick. You need to let the rpm's get alot higher or your going to blow the head gasket or break a valve.

Bro i had the same brand mine was a tao tao db14 that was a 110cc and that thing ran for almost three years and it was honestly a rlly good beginner bike for about 500$

that thing sounds beautiful

The information I found online says it has a top speed of 70mph! If that's true, then it won't hurt to put on a larger rear sprocket for a little more torque/acceleration instead of top speed. Then it won't be so hard to pull a wheelie, and yet you could probably still get a top speed around 55 or so. Also, with the larger sprocket, it'd be a little better for the slow riding through the woods trails, or if you're making your own trail and need to get over a log or rock.

Bro change the engine oil because it doesn't come with engine oil from factory it's shipped with shipping oil!

Sounds like he’s riding it in fourth gear the whole time

That's so cool you can get a bike like that in the mail.

"it has autism" 1:53 had me dying laughing

This shit is going for 1500 right now

Bought a 250cc china-bike some years back (might have been Apollo, don't remember) and it was great, until both tyres popped when I jumped down about a meter, the exhaust decided to gut itself causing the sound to be cool but literally ear-deafening and the chinesium rusted all over, and tons of other shit. Buy a used Kawasaki, KTM or Yamaha instead 😂

I’ve thought about buying a cheap Amazon bike so many times I just don’t have a place to ride nor do I have something to transport it with and I just can’t justify having to rent a uhaul pick up every time I want to ride lol. Not to mention storage since I live in an apartment.

13:00 sometimes those trails lead to good things 😏 or bad depending who you look at it

2000 is kinda expensive granted it is new. Just bought a 05 RMZ450 in great running condition for $2500, done a couple things to it I’m in it for $3000 an it’s running fantastic and well over 60hp.

ALL Glory to God.

You guys are hilarious.

this moment he went like oh oh

That's not water that's acid for the battery. Lmao .

My dream is always to have a dirt bike.. I don’t care what it looks like or what it does I just love ‘em. I’ve never had enough money and I would never have a enough.

Dude is riding the bike like its a quad🤣

Looks like a great bike

Water lol it’s battery acid

*severely Chinese 😂

somebody teach these boys clutchup wheelies asap 😭

"im not a biologist but that felt more like 50" smart man. i think you meant physics scientist

When you buy a new motorbike you should always use the kickstart if it has never been started before so the fuel can get to the carburettor easier

10:27 is it knocking??

"severely chinese" 💀💀

My brother has one of these. I grew up on dirt bikes and was skeptical as first. But it’s actually not bad for the price.

Bro sounds like a cod zombie 😂 16:05

So much for riding it gently and breaking it in for the first 500 miles

Dude I need to move out there like a gold mine for dirt bike riding :)

“Not a biologist” 🤣

It actually looks pretty nice

You should buy one of those little Lifan 200cc street bikes with the money you made on this video and give it a good hard beating too. This is great consumer advice.

you should've put the lego assembling audio when you were putting the bike together.

Man said filling it up with deisel 😁😁😁

Did he really just call that water for the battery? Hahahahha

My friend took it to lost trails in pennslyvania with me when I was on my Ktm. I must say that thing took a beating. Might of overheated we had to hang for a little and switch out the plug. But she def took a beating no problem

Oh snap. These dudes living the american dream 😮

I am a dirt bike rider and been a fan of dirt bikes since I was about 5 got first one around 7 but a year or 2 ago I bought like 400 enduro for 400 bucks it was from the 70s or 80s and I swear to you it looked brand new who ever owned before me got everything redone except for the motor I bought it and literally bought a who mew carb system she started up on one kick once the new carb and spark plug was in and it was a pretty bike all the pain fenders grips clutch breaks the cables was all redone I couldn’t pass up on it and it rode like a beast for me older it was a Suzuki

out of all the interesting things said in this video "80,000 rpms per millisecond" might be my favorite

"you want this candle its cristilized AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

this looks so dang fun. one day ima try dirt bikes. I already ride mopeds.

Actually the APOLLO DB-X18 125cc Dirt bike is the cheapest full size dirt bike coming in at 800$ no electric start but it goes about 65-70 MPH on the highway its fun

Low key that’s actually sick! Looks like a real name brand dirtbike and not a Chinese one

Man ive been wanting a dirt bike since i was 5 but there to expinsive 😢 but good luck using it ❤
