If you are talking about the XR-150 , 250 or any other like that then a resounding NOOOOOO is in order. Any Mongoose sold at a dept store should be crushed and the metal should be made into a smart car (better use of the raw material) This is a real Mongoose: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1073918_-1_36007_20000_36501 and this one: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1026660_-1_36007_20000_36501 and this one: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1073852_-1_36007_20000_36501 ....and any other mongoose supported on their website. otherwise see above again. Any Mongoose with a round head badge and not the back to back "M" is junk!
