I have an opportunity to get some skyteam ZBs and monkeys here in the US and would like to see if there is some interest in these models.

I've been focused on racing pitbikes and I've always done a lot of research and testing on my models prior to offering a new model.
This will not be the case with this endeavor......I would only be able to offer the existing models as they come built from the factory.

If anybody is interested, I'd like to know....if there is enough interest, I'll get them along with parts to support them.

Thanks,
Mike

what's the price?

firepower354 · 10-28-2009, 11:24 AM

I'm sure they'll sell well, even with their shortcomings. You'd wanna verify they can offer them as street-legal before boating a bucket of them over.

If u grab them I may be treating myselt to a Surprise Christmas present

nickypoo · 10-28-2009, 01:04 PM

i will take one if its possible to get it cali plated

psychomonkey · 10-28-2009, 01:08 PM

price and if street legal or not would be the deal makers or breakers. very interesting reguardless.

Advantage of the skyteam monkeys is you can fit some big engines in them without hitting your front tire. The neck of the frame is one inch longer than an original honda or panda monkeyframe.

I do not know if they did this trick with the pbr(zb) as well. My 2004 st90 takes a jialing 138 without any problem.

Great Idea !!

fatcaaat · 10-28-2009, 02:11 PM

I had a 157cc in a skyteam for a while...I could hit 80 on it. It was stable at that speed with good inverted forks. It was just too small and cramped for me. BTW I'm 5'9".

I'd be interested in a lot of the aftermarket support parts though....many are adaptable to ct70 and z50.

nielspbr · 10-28-2009, 02:22 PM

Skyteam does ct clones as well (st50-6 and st125-6)
(the newest versions have a widened frame which holds a 5,5 liter tank, the skymax version)

Any more pics of them?

Raider357 · 10-28-2009, 04:12 PM

If you can get the plated I think you would have ALOT of interest!

I know I would be...my advice is go for it!

sous · 10-28-2009, 04:19 PM

can u get the original monkey or gorilla on order ?

50-50 · 10-28-2009, 05:28 PM

Yeah price would obviously be a huge factor in determining if people want these things.

Z · 10-28-2009, 07:22 PM

www.skyteam.cn for pics.

supernes550 · 10-28-2009, 09:07 PM

should be a nice option especially with parts support.
cali legal would be even better.

ducatilover · 10-28-2009, 09:14 PM

I would take either one. Hopefully they would be street legal.

The Gorilla would be another good one to have.

icm856 · 10-29-2009, 11:57 AM

I would be interested in a ZB style bike. I like the ST125-1....

sous · 10-29-2009, 12:12 PM
