2022 Icebear Champion 125 , green , in CT
 

Throwing it out there in case anyone wants one .
Basically new with 51 miles ( will go up as I ride ) . Already did the 2 known essential upgrade / fixes , the carburetor and Delrin rear swing arm bushings .
Runs absolutely awesome now with the VM26 carb , starts right up even without the choke !!!
Rear swing arm tight like a drum now !!! NO wiggle !!!
Also has fuel filters in both gas lines .
The factory oil has been out since day one and replaced with quality oil .
The honest reason for sale is I am used to driving manual clutch motorcycles , so the semi auto is awkward for me .
The bike also will come with new , not installed Shinko SR426 120/90/10 tires and new tubes , and the "Honda " decal for the tank to really complete that CT70 clone !!!
Here is the breakdown of what I have total into the bike :
1) Bike - $1,850 ( extra freight surcharge and assembled , bought it local like this )
2) Carb - $60
3) Bushings $20
4) Tires - $135
5) Tubes $25
6) Decal - $15
For a total of $2,105 . Yes , I know you see them for $1,499 , but if you are on the East Coast you will pay another $100 for the freight surcharge ,
NTM Cajun shows late Oct / early Nov for these . You can have it now , assembled , shake down miles that shows you got a good one , no risk of coming in damaged / won't run , known issues done , and the cool extra parts .
$1,750
I'm torn cause I really do like it but could care either way if I sell it .
Pics to follow .

Can’t upload pics from my phone , files to large ,, gonna have to go the old fashioned route from my camera , next day or do .

Today's therapy session.

How will you feel when it's gone?
What will you replace it with?
Will you wish you had the Champion too?

1) Bittersweet cause they are a very cool looking little bike , sound so awesome , very peppy little thing , etc .
2) Don't know , will wait til next spring to think of something else . I am not without , I still have a bike to ride , really nice original 95 Kawasaki KE100 ( hence why I mentioned the semi being awkward ) . That's why it doesn't phase to sell or keep the Champion .
3) If I get the itch for another CT70 clone , I'll get the Amigo for the manual clutch .


here's the Kawi

That's a sweet little 100! :tup:

My hope is that the Champion will not sell at all, and you realize the best thing to do is sell the stock motor and drop in the 190cc or 212cc 5-speed.

You're welcome.

Apparently, Skyteam's clones will be coming back to the US. They were very high quality when they were available, and some were even California CARB certified. Available under several brands the last time we had them, including: Pitster Pro, SSR, Roketa, Pirahna, Trail Buddy, and I am sure one or two or more brands.

Was the Skyteam a manual clutch? Because I was wondering if the Champion was a rebranded Skyteam.

All of the above I believe share a lot of the same parts , the various distributors buy from the parts manufacturer ( frame / tires / rims / etc ) and then change colors , names , etc . Just like the Chinese auto lifts , a lot are exactly the same , just different name/model

Yes, they are/were manual clutch.

Distributors get to pick and choose their parts when they order from the factory, as well as get to check for quality control. Some are hands on, and some not. Overall, it seemed like the Skyteam, no matter who branded them, were high quality.

The Icebear and Amigo both suffer the sloppy rear swing arm bushing and crappy “lean” carburetor. I do notice the rear shocks on the Amigo are different from the Icebear .

It wouldn't surprise me if there is only one location in China that stamps out all the CT70 clone frames.

Bump ,...... $1750
