    Opinions on www.poweroffroad.com ? As the old saying goes, if it looks too
    good to be rue, then it probably is..

    Something about the site just seems to nudge my "dodgy" detector.. Very few
    details about what make or parts the bikes are made up from..

    Anyhow, they seem to be knocking out a field MX bike for £240 inc vat and
    delivery, which seems damn reasonable, if its not some sort of scam/pile of
    shit that will self destruct ten minutes after being started up...

    Opinions?....

    Well, they're not proper MX bikes: the proportions are all wrong and
    the wheels look way too small. The engines look vaguely like a copy of
    a Honda 90 four stroke engine, so performance is unlikely to be
    blistering.

    As they're air cooled, the fins will prolly clog with mud causing the
    engine to run hot.

    My local bike dealer made some disparaging comments about a similar
    cheap quad they'd been asked to fix.

    On a more positive note, I did buy a very cheap petrol (powered) jet
    washer from one of those ebay dealers and it does work well enough,
    but it's a bugger to start from cold.
