Cheech Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Anyone have any experience? I know they are Chinese, which based on my non-owner experiences really doesn't scare me all that much, but I thought there might be someone out there who's lived with one for a while. They seem to be all over CL for cheep, I just wanted one to commute to work (off-highway) and otherwise derp around on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thGix Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 My wife's cousin bought some chinese motorcycle looking thing new. Misc. parts fall off (bar ends, footpeg and other stuff) and the electrical was horrible. Turn signals sometimes worked and the horn would come on randomly. It did always start and run fine though.

Rootney Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don't waste your money. I bought a couple used 200cc Roketa on/off road bikes a few years ago. COMPLETE GARBAGE!!! Everything on them was poorly made. Could not even get the handlebars to tighten up on one because the knurling was so minimal. I cranked the piss out of the bolts and the bars would still move if I gave them a light tug. Had to fix no start problem on one after wiring melted on exhaust due to poor routing.Wait until you find a decent deal on a Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha. You'd be better of getting a ragged out Japanese scooter over a Roketa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
