I purchased 2 United Motors motorcycles (dirt bikes) from a local dealer, Lee County Motorsports, Lehigh Acres, Florida. They appeared to be a good deal and were touted as having a Honda Motor & transmission.
Well as the old saying goes: If it seems too good to be true then it probably isn't
These bikes are junk. It took the idiots at the dealership three days to deliver it, they couldn't figure out that there was water in the gas tank. When I got it home I drained the tank and it fired up. Then, the first day I it out I bent a fork on a 12" jump, a few minutes later I laid it down in some soft sand at 1 mph and bent the handle bars... Oh boy. I ride it for a couple more hours and park it, next time out the thing will not start, not turn over, nothing. It turns out the ignition switch had vibrated loose and was no longer making contact, I had to bolt it back on.
My kid rides the 2006 dt150, The battery basket broke off when he laid it down in some soft sand at 1 mph OK, so sure, I am not supposed to do that, but the basket is tack welded to the frame! So, you cant replace it, the thing should never have snapped off. It was poorly engineered and the metal is beyond cheap..., On the second day the brake cable brok and after a week it just will not start and run easily...
No, these are not my first bikes, I have been riding for nearly 30 years and have never seen such shoddy workmanship. I can not tell you how many times I dropped my RM125... Other than a bit of cosmetic damage it never broke, because it was made to ride off road... Fast and hard...
Sure, I guess you can call anything that rides in the dirt a 'dirt bike', but these are NOT designed to be ridden as they appear. When I saw the price on these bikes I was skeptical, I looked them over and knew that they would not be as robust as their more expensive counterparts. BUT, that does not even come close to an accurate description.
Honda parts? I SERIOUSLY doubt it. I compared the two side by side, they don't even look alike.
As for your dealer, his work shop is a garbage dump, litterally, it was discusting. I wouldn't let them sell trash cans for me..
