     No experience, never heard of it but,... Unless this is a child's,
    DON'T BUY IT! You'd be better off looking for something second hand
    if this is your price range.

Murray's are the bottom of the barrel. They are marketed to people that want to
have a bike in their garage, just in case they feel the urge to ride to the
mail box and back. If you plan on riding more than around the block with it
then forget it. The reason is they are made of the most inexpensive components
which break very easily. The wheels go out of true in no time. If it breaks who
are you going to take it to?  BUT, if you can repair a bike and just want one
to ride aroung the block with your family three time a year, then get a
cheapie. I agree with Chip though, you're better off getting a good used bike 
for around the same money.
