2wheelhobbies.com is a good place, bruce has great variety, good price & excellent service. you could email him & ask what he recomends too.

once you're bit, you'll be hooked.

Status: offline 		I have the Thunder Tiger.I'm still fairly new to bikes but have been into the hobby since the late eighties.Bikes are by far the most fustrating vehicle I've owned but having said that they are alot of fun.The TT isn't great right out of the box but with a few mods can be a great bike(so I've been told)I have finally worked out most of my bugs and have really started to enjoy the bike.The biggest problems I've had are the fuel and exhaust systems for not sealing properly.You will have to go over the complete bike and loctite all the scews as these bikes have alot of vibration.The price is good and most mods are done faily cheap.I'm still running stock tires and they work okay but some softer tires will make it turn a little better.All in all I would say the Thunder Tiger is a good bike.Are the other bikes better?Don't know.Never seen any in action.

no it won't wheelie in stock form, it will do about 40 mph. it will wheelie with a bigger motor and go faster. but wheelies aren't really good with theses bikes as you can't really control them and you will flip over backwards, and that cost money as you'll break something. but they are cool and takes some skill to drive one well, here's a couple of pics

Status: offline 		they come with a Thunder Tiger PRO-12BK engine, and no they don't break that easy, but if you keep flipping it over from doing wheelies some thing will break here's a link http://2wheelhobbies.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=438
