The motor was alright but after I would say roughly 10 hours it started to smoke a little bit so I listed it on craigs no one would buy it so I finally just gave it to some kid up the street that said he could fix it no problem. I could have to but then what would have happened next you know? My advice honda all the way for a mini bike.

big difference between taiwanese and chinese.
things from taiwan like kymco uses Honda spec, they were partners for awhile
Anything from mainland is not trusted

Just tossing in my 2 cents. I read this thread before I bought my pit bike and decided to go with an Orion 70 anyway...
Bike doesn't run well at all. Seems like it may be a jetting issue but I'm discovering that jets are next to impossible to find for the knock off Chinese carb that it comes with. I got one with disc brakes... After less than ONE HOUR of riding I started to hear a grinding noise and the rear brake was not working well. Looked down and I saw metal on metal. I'm not sure if the brake pad was just garbage and ground down to nothing, or if it actually fell off the backing plate. Either way it was awful. I adjusted the handlebars once and one of the bolts just spun, the threads had basically fallen off it.
I have since ordered a BBR carb kit and a caliper off a Zuma to try and get this thing in working condition, but I have already spent way more than I would have if I just bought a stunted 50.
In fact I just did buy an 06' CRF last week because my girlfriend hates the Orion so much... Moral of the story, just get a Honda. I'm sure I will get the 70 running and reliable, but it's going to cost me twice as much as just buying one done up. I'm just hoping the motor and tranny hold up on the Orion, but I'm not holding my breath.

i bought an SSR 70 a few months back and put all 50stunt parts on it and havent had any problems at all. ive had to check and tighten a few nuts and spokes but nothing you wouldnt check on a new bike anyways... i got the non disc brake version $525 shipped look into them well worth it Kronikminis.com has them for the cheapest price shipped

if u buy and sell enough pitbikes, u get to know which ones are weak and shitty and which are decent. U can tell just by looking at most orions that they are crap

i just got my honda 50 like a month ago i love the damn thing, but when i was looking for one i thought about getting a chinese one talked to one of the moto shops around here and i was told this. there were some good chinese pitbikes before the economy tanked specially i heard extreme i think i was told was a good chinese brand but most people couldn't afford the good chinese bikes so most of the companies went belly up. i bought a honda because i knew i could get parts for it and it wasn't a crap shoot whether i was gonna screwed or not. i'll take the bike that you can jb weld back together and it still runs and works.
