Dirt Bikes rule!

i used to have two dirt bikes.

ther other was a suzuki 125cc big dirt bike.

I guess those little pocketbikes are ok for messing around with, but they're just too dam small for real riding. The one you linked to is 34" tall.
Ive seen teens/adults hunched over them riding them through a local park, they look fun to play around with but they're just not the same as a full sized bike.

I know they cost more and I don't know how old/tall you are, but I would much prefer to get a full sized bike and do some real bush bashing.
Find a 2nd hand Honda XR 100 or a Yamaha DT175, both are reliable, common(good for parts), good little bikes that will serve you well.

I'd recommend at least riding a few different bikes before you purchase one, especially of the pocket type.

Thats my 2c, obviously you should buy whatever you want.
