Eddy from Arizona (formerly Chicago)
Hi , my name is Eddy and I came to Arizona from the Chicago a few years ago.
Still trying to get used to the summers here. I am 45 years old, a mechanic by choice and driver by trade. This my current entry into Chinese bikes ........ ![]() -Roketa RKM 200 E- but i don't think it will be my only one........these things are addicting. So cheap it's almost like buying a bicycle from Walmart, you can have lotsa of fun with them without hurting your pocketbook. Should they get stolen or destroyed .....good excuse to buy another one ![]() This is the reason I bought a Roketa in the 1st place , my 1st bike ![]() I rescued this a few weeks before buying my Roketa, inital idea was to buy a bike exactly like the one I started out with 20 years ago, my 1981 Yamaha XT 250. Bought for a little under $1000, mechanically sound, but not running, carb needed to be rebuilt. Once that was taking care of, oh the fun I had...... so I decided to buy a new one, until I went to the motorcycle dealer that is...........Holy Hydraulics 8O 8O 8O talk about sticker shock !!! A slightly smaller bike , a 230cc i think it was,...... was almost $5000 dollars ![]() Then I saw these bikes at pep boys and I thought " if they only made street legal.....did some reasreach on the internet and voila. Can't beat it, front and rear disc brakes, electric start, great looking frame, rugged and good looks for 1/4 price of the current japanese bikes.... gotta love it ![]() |
