its looks like an extreme to me? i think people on this site look at the name and if it doesnt say "cost alot" you think it sucks, one more quistion what do you think about a gas gas big bike?

That is a UPC bike, they are the same as the Thumpstar Pro, but I think I heard that they were a little better on some of their small parts. Same people making both im pretty sure...

Sanoman, dont talk **** about the UPC until you ride one. They are badass bikes for the money. I am currently building my motor up huge.

Now THAT's a review! these are the type reviews guys on here should be doing so that guys like sanoman will be exposed for the clowns they are. Eventually we could have a good info sharing forum here. as opposed to what we have now is people asking about bikes and people that know nothing about them bash them casue they aren't Japanese...

well let me ask what do you plan on doing looking good and just cruiseing the pits or your hood or looking to hit the track hard and out run a built up Honda crf50 that would have the parts and bore compairable to what that bike has copies of on it. Answer that and I will give you a good truthfull answer as I test rode one of the Thunpstar pros witch is the SANE as the UPC and I own a couple tricked out Honda xr/crf50 and each are there own different caliber of a tricked out bike
