Buy a used CBR instead. A mate has one of them sky jet things and its falling to pieces.
I have a 2005 cbr 125, i have done 20,000 miles on it and it has never let me down. Just needed a new battery last month. ____________________ JACK, MISS YOU LOADS YOU LEGEND. |

Here's a reply what I wrote earlier (Posted: 21:02 - 12 Mar 2007)
LeeR wrote: | Skyjet...hmmm my sister's boyfriend bought one about 18 months ago, he rates it and really enjoys riding it however, couple of problems:
Firstly - some muppet reversed into it breaking the side-stand, foot peg, and clutch lever, these parts were ordered at around £100 total and took an eternity to arrive and this from an "authorised" dealer.
Secondly - when he took the bike to have it repaired the dealer found that the rear-hub assembly was missing a bolt, one bolt had sheared and the third remaining bolt was in the process of rattling itself loose. He has had the bike serviced from new with the dealer!
Though covered the bike has been left outside since purchased in all weathers and shows little signs of deterioration, which is a positive.
So I say make up your own mind, personally I think the Chinese are on their way to global domination and would therefore rather buy Japanese as they appear to have slowed down a bit. |

Unfortunately the Chinese are doing what Japan did 40-50 years ago - copying western stuff and selling it cheap and it can also be nasty!!! Some is OK but some is really cack.
I've got a Scooter I'm fixing at the mo from a friend who bought it off ebay for £300, bargain as its done 131miles only and is a 55 plate. But fook me, its very Fisher Price!! It won't run more than 5 mins, the handle bars had come loose (only held on by 1 bolt!!!!! and no none are missing!!!) The throttle works both ways!!!! Except it only opened a 1/4 of a turn due a screw which had come loose and stopped the throttle opening. Just need to find why it doesn't run, seems like fuelling either too much or not enough, choke is fine and works, fuel is going in, next is see what compression is like. Its a 4 stroke.
But its only done 131miles!!!, but looks like its 10 years old with a rusty exhaust.
I think if you buy one with an open mind that you may wait months for parts, if you can source them and it may have reliability problems and shocking resale value, then it should be OK as they're cheap. Throw away after a year. ____________________ Yamaha R6 '05 model, upside down forks, radial brakes, Blue flame can, dubble bubble and clear turn signals - as they say in America |

Those skyjets are minging in the flesh, really cheap & horrible. I wouldn't want to ride on one.
