dunno about the liverpool area but the £100 ebay bikes are rubbish, I bought one 2nd hand for £20 at a car boot sale, engine was a chinese copy of a 2 stroke strimmer engine with badly moulded plastic cases frame was bodged toghter out of any old tin and the fuell tank leaked like a sieve all over the ht cap
the £1000 2nd hand bikes have polini engines made for minimoto racing and decent frames brakes etc plus you can source parts and rebuild these ones rather than just rounding off the metal ( made from old cheese ) bolts then throwing the whole thing in the bin.
remember your first realy cheap rc car from argos cost about £15 did about 10 mph for 2 mins on 12 aa's then broke when you looked at it wrong and was only good for the bin = £100 ebay minimoto.

this is a grc and has an old polini engine for £100 its a steal unless every bearing is shot + the engine is kipperd.
this is the same as the bike I used when I raced a few years ago.
I have some pics somwhere.
