NO. it sounds like you're describing one of those cheap Chinese bikes they sell at Pep Boys and on various websites, and they're a complete waste of money and will leave you broke with nothing to ride. be smart, buy something used from a brand name that you've actually heard of.

 -- blah blah blah...."

What they do not say:

Who made the engine?  What displacement is the engine?  (I saw one "150cc" scooter that showed the bore and stroke -- the 150cc engine was 85cc displacement.)  What tire manufacturer?  Will the tires hold air for more than an hour?  Who warrants the motorcycle?

Look at the website ... they are very careful to be sure that the bike is sold as is, no warranty.

Stay far away from them!  They are pieces of trash (don't ask me how I know) and have one problem after the next.  Bottom line:  Get something you can trust, like a Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, or Kawasaki.

Not if you're smart!
Buy a used brand name (you didn't name one in your question so I'll assume it has none).
