Jesseoffy Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I asked the same question a few days ago and got no reply. But I think I know what to look for...What do you prefer? Mod bike or stock bike? (Do some research on the looks of each bike, they also work differently.)I heard that ONZA sells good bikes for beginners, but I could be wrong. My preference would be a Stock bike with a seat so I don't hurt my tenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbo8888 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Onza t-pro no questions about it look for a decent one on ebay, you will get more for your money. For starters i would stick with a mod much lighter, which makes them easier to throw about! Edited October 7, 2009 by gibbo8888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshlyd1 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 How many times do i have to tell you louis 2010 ONZA wait and see Heavy bikes are good to start on this means you build muscle ( which you lack of ) and get the right technique early on so when you progress and get a lighter bike you will become bigger and better you need to do this for you because i have seen you and know how you ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seat might do more damnage than good.i di ride the onza t-bird and it rode well but it was too heavy and every one i know is saying the same that onza is the best starter bike i prefer mod becacause its a lighter ride and stock are normaly heavyNot necessarily. My mod weighed 14 kgs odd. My stock is about 10kg.All depends on the spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Dunwoody Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 The way i've done it is save up for a nice bike that you know is nice but other people don't and buy that, because then you will get a really nice bike but because it hasn't got flashy pink rims or that then there will be a less chance of someone stealing it.I would suggest an onza of some sort but check the weight because weight is a killer. I would suggest getting an onza T-pro or an onza pro there isn't much difference really, the only differences that they have is that the onza T-pro has a longer wheelbase[length of frame basically]and the onza pro has onza dual pull cable disc brakes which personally, i haven't tried myself. There are other bikes in the range like the Onza Blade or the Onza Comp but they are very expensive and for that money i would look for another make of bike, like Echo or KoxxYou can easily check the specs on either the Onza website or Tarty bikes.P.S. I would have given you links to these but i haven't quite figured out how to post links yet. Sorry for that.Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
