UCDM = Universal Chinese Dirt Motorcycle  This one looks like it's a Pep Boys special, but with a different motor than the pap boys bike.  They are imported by everybody and their brother -parts are hard to find but there are a few places.  If you can go visit the bike look at the stamp on the left side of the motor and see if it's a 163FML or 159FML 200cc or 150cc.  See if it has electric start -this one does not appear to have it but they kick fairly easily.  This person wither got it mail order or from some local joker on the north side of the city.  I am suspect about 125cc.  Get the engine number stamped on the lower part of the motor (you'll see a flat spot that may or may not have dirt caked on it) and check to see what it really has.  It will be ###FML.

I own one similar to that, but with inverted forks and slightly smaller..  I paid only $700 for mine.  So far the bike has been reliable and a perfect dirt learning bike.  I broke the shifter and found a yam 250 aftermarket shifter fits perfect.  If you're crafty it won't be hard to keep it running.

This bike looks like it has had ATV bars installed (I bet the orig bars bent on the first crash like ours did) but otherwise stock

If you want to learn how to ride dirt and don't/can't afford a cr230 for $3500 to learn on then go get it.  If you pay $600 or $650 get a season of riding in, sell it for $400 you still made out pretty well.  Remember that there is a chance you could break something and lose the whole bike (it's possible).  The motor is ebayable so you will always recoup that.  Uhh, lets see, oh yea the suspension is pretty shitty on those bikes.  The good part is if you can ride this bike good after a season you'll rip on a quality Japanese dirt bike.  These bikes make riding more challenging due to cheap suspension but learning to overcome it makes you a very good rider.

Hope you get it because you have MM 11.5 pretty close to you (off 74 west of the 17) and many people say it's a sweet place to ride.  Get the bike (after you determine what it has for a motor and stuff) go to cycle gear and get cheap gloves/helmet/ pads and chect protector ($200 total) and you're good to go.
