Default I'm REALLY new to bikes :(

Hey guys. I'm looking for a reliable Nitro bike RTR for UNDER $400. If i have too, i will spend $500, but i really cant afford that much. Thanks so much guys.

PS: What will i need for this except for fuel? And it this bike (engine drivetrain electronics) reliable and easy to work on and run? Thanks

EDIT:
PSS: These bikes cant jump at all, even a little bit (ie: like 1 inch) right? No jumping? Thank guys. I've driven electric/nitro on and offroad but this is gunna be awesome. thanks.

Edit #2:

That's the only RTR that I know of. If you only want to car park bash it'll be fine and is very good value for a beginner.

From the ones that I've seen the chain is a bit too tight out of the box and watch for screws that need threadlocking such as the axle bolts.
Change the plug to an OS#3,the supplied plug doesn't seem to be very good.

How do i adjust the chain out of the box? And i will change the plug. Oh, and what wheels and tires do you recommend (any links)?
And do i need a starter or do they give you a starter? Thanks guys

And a os#3 plug will work well in 60 degree weather with %20 fuel? This is it right?

Actually Rcgroups is probably the best site for electric planes as well.

It is the first production 5th scale and it is made in Italy and is expensive.

TTn means Thunder Tiger nitro. Nuova Faor is a different company than Thunder Tiger but they also make nitro bikes.

I sure hope that cost will come down so as to make it affordable.
