buy em off forums from about $500 www.boostcruising.com
be careful because some of em have bad parts and repairs (if needed) can cost more than the bike.

On the whole mechanical dodginess bit - you should be able to tell by looking at it if it's any good, or a "$50 chinese special" - Some of the worst welds I've ever seen have been on the frame of a pocket mini-bike ! ! ! ! ! Similarly, some brands/manufacturers get/use decent engines, some are total rubbish.
As for riding 'em, there's HEAPS of hire-kart tracks that are running regular mini-bike practice and race meets now that they're illegal for road use. Let your fingers do the walking and make a few calls - you may well be surprised at where you can run and for how much/little.
Speaking of finding places to take motorised toys . . . . I can't suggest whether it's valid/legal, but I'd love to put massively tall sprockets on my karts and take them to a banked bicycle veledrome . . . . . .
