Viva enduro bike a good or bad clone?
So i have some one selling a 07 viva 200cc clone type with 970 miles all on road for only 600. Is this a good deal or a bad clone type. Are parts available? If I was to purchase I was thinking 500, because it is a 2.5 hour drive.
I hope you dont mind all the questions but I appreciate the help. Chris |

If the bike is in good shape, that sounds like a fair price.
 The Viva can use Honda parts, and you can find a lot of Chinese parts for this bike on eBay. Incidentally, I know the Viva employs the same front wheel as my Zongshen Sierra 200GY-2.Spud

Viva was one of the lower end china bikes. GY2 style and parts are available. For $500 it is probably a buy.

I might be wrong, but I believe SamM stills owns a Viva. Perhaps you can send him a personal message, and ask what he thinks of the bike.

 For $500, I'd grab it if it's clean. Paying that amount for any running and titled DS where I live is a fairy tale.

I believe Sam parted out the viva.

We had two vivas in Hawaii about 4 years back and loved them. They take all the same parts as the rest of the honda clones. I would grab it at $600 if it is in good shape. In fact my avitar is with a viva. And there are lots of pictures on the site about our vivas and all the fun we had with them.

Thanks for all the help, but I am guessing it was sold. I called a few times today and nothing. It doesn't help my ford ranger decided to blow the u-joint today. At least its under warranty. So pick up would of been a issue.
Keep looking for the heard about Q Link deals I guess. -Chris |
