I bought a 90cc panterra about 8 years ago and that thing ran like a top. threw it in the shed at the end of the season and in the spring when i pulled it out, added fresh fuel, choke, kick start three times and purred like a kitten. Unless I got real lucky with that thing I have no problem recommending them. My boys just out grew it at 14.

Id definately go with a honda. When I was 9 my first bike was an xr100, and i beat the hell out of that thing til i was 15 and never had any problems. I crashed it pretty hard, bottomed it out on jumps too many times to count, swamped it twice, and it just kept on going. I dont have any experience with the chinese bikes but I highly doubt the reliability can come close to the hondas
