You've obviously never dealt with Brad from First Kick aka Oldhonda.com aka theatvshop.com etc.. He not only has one of the worst reputations in the market, but has a laundry list of people he's screwed over the years. I can't believe that clown is still in business...

Not quite as good as the Honda ZB. Skyteam bikes are notorious for hubs cracking, electrical issues, poor frame welds. Every nut and bolt on the bike should be torqued and used with locktite.

Re: US skyteam st50/st90 dealers?
So outside of the one link above (since it appears to have negative history), who else is considered a trusted skyteam dealer?

This is another seller but not in the USA. Few guys on PM have bought ST parts with no problems, not sure about getting a whole bike. See what he can do for you.

It would be cheaper to buy a Mint condition ZB.

I had a hard time finding a US Skyteam Dealer as well, you can also search parts for a Honda ZB50. I bought parts for my Skyteam off of Ebay, CHP Race products, Classic Honda USA, Honda CT70, Z50, Pit Bikes, Monkey Bike, XR50, CRF50, NSR50, XR70, CRF70, Pit Bikes, Honda Minitrails, XR100 and NOS, Kitaco, Takegawa Parts and services. & TBolt USA - Pitbikes, Pitster Pro, OGM, G2 Moto, Honda 50 Engines it just depends on what you're looking for

I'm on that list...well, was.

It was only for a SuperTrapp exhaust, but he totally gave me the runaround. Sent it to me C.O.D. for starters, after I already paid for it. Then he shipped me an incomplete exhaust, then the wrong one altogether. Finally I sent it all back and hounded him for 2 months before getting all my money back. It was a nightmare, and needless to say, not sure the BBB was very effective in reaching a resolution.

Guy is shady to say the least. Never dealt with anyone so brazen in my life.
