Where should I buy a Honda Clone from?

sirmaxwell · 04-03-2019, 07:47 PM

Hey everybody, my name is Max and I'm a China Riding addict.... I have been looking into getting either a Brand New Grom Clone aka Vader, a Ct70 Clone aka Champion or even a z50 clone a.k.a. Leo--I kinda wanted a ct90-110 clone but havent found as many options there for a cheap price new or used. Anyhow, I am wondering where should I go for a New Clone that has good prices, actually sends an MCO/MSO most of the time and sends the bike on time, not too damaged or takes care of problems, etc...Where should I go guys? I really appreciate any answers as I have never bought anything from any of these websites.

Also, any input as to which I should get and why would be welcome advice. I have reasons for wanting all of them. The Vader is more modern, can easily throw Honda stickers on some of them and be hard pressed to notice differences unless up close. The Champion looks a lot like the CT-70 but with better performance, it's just a solid good looking bike to me. The Leo is well it's a goofy lil Monkeybike that makes people smile and MAYBE could pass as a no plates required moped if I were to throw some Z50 stickers on it--BUT it does only come with 8 inch tires and probably has an illegal seat height, even for a moped, in my home state of CT.

Thanks!
Max

I'm also looking for the Honda Monkey / Gorilla clone. Specifically something (about)125cc ultra compact with folding handlebars and street legal.
I found the 125cc Skyteam Bongo and Skymax/Dax, but they don't seem to be available in USA. Only in Europe and Asia.

The USA sites I have are http://www.saferwholesale.com/ - http://www.motobuys.com/ - http://powersportsbest.com

They all seem to come from Roketa.com, but not sure which are still in business. I personally don't care if the web-site is just 1 guy working from a hotel room and forwards orders to Roketa if I get what I want. You can't buy from Roketa directly and buying directly from China Alibaba has a 10-20 bike minimum. I may just do that if I build them, keep a couple, then sell the rest.
I understand, buying Chinese motorcycles usually require assembly, maintenance, and parts come from far away. I read the bikes themselves seem work well and a great deal after giving them some needed care.

EDIT:
There is a ultra-compact 50cc street legal folding moped available in the USA called the Di Blasi. But it's made in Europe and costs like it's from Europe. I like it, but it's too slow for me.

EDIT2:
I think I found what you're looking for here: https://pitsterpro.com - gokartsusa.com
But I don't know how good they are.

I like my DongFang rtx 50 and think you may dig the style, but redfox powersports (everything shipped by crt motor inc) was slow to act on everything. Goes 47 stock with a proper pdi. Nothing major except a front harness burn from rubbing turn signal nut. Seems like a good swap candidate.
