Questions on this bike
A couple of buddies and I are looking at maybe buying a some of these bikes off craigslist and leaving them in the Pacific Northwest to fly up and do rides every couple of months.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcd/4879410612.html They look like the Roketa DB-07, can you guys confirm? Our main concern is parts if we break something. Is their a list of what fits that we can source locally or carry as spares? Thoughts on this crazy idea? |

They look like the DB-07, except for the conventional forks (which is not a bad thing). I'd certainly consider a bike like that for what you want, as long as you can take the time to prep it first. I have a bike like that, and I've been really picky about prep; it has been a terrific bike.
Where in the PNW will you be riding? I love that area, and it's in my back yard.

I agree with Weld on all points.
 However, finding parts locally is always more problematic with a Chinese motorcycle.
