Skyteam CT70 Clone.... MC-34-125
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi All,

I purchased a CT70 Clone from powersportsbest.com

Since I couldn't find any actual review on that particular bike and model name, purchased from "powersportsbest.com", I thought I'd do a proper review and report from START to FINISH, with photos and a video when the bike arrives.

The official model from their website is "MC-34-125" and its made by SKYTEAM. I did a bit of research and went with the Skyteam 125cc with the 4-speed manual gear.

Anyways, I purchased the bike on 09 March 2015 and the bike is still in transit. Its in New Orleans terminal (about 2 hours from my house). The freight / trucking company is called "Vision Express".

My initial transaction with "powersportsbest.com" has been quite smooth, professional, and satisfying.

I sent the payment online and the next day, they called me to reconfirm the order and delivery address.

Once I receive the bike, I'll take step-by-step documented photos and will share for those of you that are interested in these CT70 clone bike.

Below is the bike and color I purchased.

Until then........ take care.

Tim

I forgot to mention the price on powersportsbest.com was only $860 USD.

All the other websites are selling the exact same bike for $1,300 - $1,400.

I live in a unique place, so the shipping is kind of expensive, as I was already expecting. My shipping was $240 USD so the total prices is $1,100 USD. Really an excellent sale price.

Here is a photos of the price listed on their site. If you live closer to California, surely your shipping will be much cheaper.

Regarding the bike's actual color scheme..... I'm kind of doubtful that it will come, exactly as the photo shows.... i.e., Black wheels, Black exhaust, Black handlebars, Black forks, etc.

I hope it does, but I'm thinking its gonna come with the typical chromed out look, as I seen all the other bikes on the internet come that way.

Anyways, just something to take note on..... I'll find out soon enough.

Welcome, Tim!

Love your avatar; do you have an old bus?

I'm quite interested in following your posts on the CT70 clone; I think you made the right choice with a 125cc four speed.

This is member Bar None on advrider.com Skyteam (scroll to the bottom) in yellow. It is blacked out. Roketa's clones come with blacked out wheels and trim. I think your blue (you can ignore the question I asked you on advider since you answered it here) will be just as nice, but obviously not as bright! I like that blue since it obviously looks like an 'OG' HOnda CT70 from back in the days!

And welcome to here!

I went to powersportsmax.com , and if you paid with a money order or cashier's check and got the $180 shipping, you can get this bike to your door for $1005.60--not bad at all!

My only problem would be figuring out which color to get--the yellow is bright and shiny. I like it as Bar None has one in yellow. The white one is not as vanilla as it would seem. The red one is nice, too. But the blue one, like you got, is very traditional 'Honda CT70' maybe circa 197X, and ripe for Honda stickers to look like you are riding an original one!?

I could eliminate black living in the desert and 6 or 11 months out of the year, it is HOT!

The blacked out wheels and trim make them all look great, especially the black one (I would consider the black one if I did not live in the deserts of Arizona)!

Hey Fellas, I received the bike and it's identical to the photo (Blue with Blacked out parts). The bike was already assembled and strapped to a pallet. The cardboard box wrapped around it sort of fell apart during transit I suppose.

Powersportsbest told me they would assemble the bike, test it, then ship it to me...... and it looks like they did, as it had a bit of gas in the fuel tank. I simply put the key in and it started right up with the slightest touch of the starter button. I'm really impressed with the Quality and details in the bike.

Still in the process of making my video for a product review. I'll post it shortly.

Hi Weldangring, Yes I have 3 vintage VWs. In fact, I dont have a modern car, I just drive my VWs, as daily drivers. Sort of a lifestyle for me. This CT70 clone fits right in with my rides.

You can take your Skyteam with you on camping trips, I would think, inside the bus?

Adjuster 03-23-2015 03:44 AM

Please make some videos of your bike and your VWs.

Awesome! I'd love to see them; please feel free to start a thread on your old VW's.

I helped a buddy built a '58 23-window once, and it was a sweet old bus. He bought a rolling pan and a rebuilt motor (from separate sources), and we did everything. We installed a later big-nut trans, a complete wiring harness, an interior, new beltline stainless, everything. I even fabricated jail bars for the corner windows.
