NYUK has a great reputation around here. Im pretty sure that he will stand buy his bike. F.A.S.T build motors are some of the best. Bike 1 might have a couple more mods but in the long run but they are bullshit mods that anyone can do for cheap. I think #2 is the way to go. Anyone can bolt on a suspension or put in a axle. now building a motor is a diff story. (For a guy that has never done it.) Get bike 2 and slowly buy the upgrades you want for it ie: axle shocks aarms. And do not let the Painted fenders discourage you because you can put them in the for sale section and I will guarantee they will be sold in a couple days. You caN GET a full skid plate set up of of ebay for under 150. And trust me when I tell you that no other bike that you ride with will touch you.
