Found the best price here.
https://www.powersportsmax.com/produ...ducts_id/22422 Look at the order 1 price, not the red price. It still pulls up at $769 price. Shipping is $200. |

Got the bike, happy with it, gets up to sustained 50mph for me on side roads. Only problem I have had is the rear turn signal mounts were over tightened and a have cracked. The signals themselves work fine, but the right side rear dangles loose and i've had to MacGyver it into place. Also, the tax offices are closed right now so I'm not able to register it and ride it fully legal. LOL. That being said, I've already got my eye out for a bigger bike, but for now this will do.

Alright, Placed the order...
I am now $1100 poorer and hopefully soon one bike richer. We'll see how this goes, The panda left some pretty big shoes to fill (for a mini trail). |

Some of the things that I have noticed about the bike is that while the engine is pretty quiet, the bike does rattle depending on how much throttle its being given and the rear shocks are squeaky. I haven't been able to run down exactly what is causing the rattling yet but I am determined. I don't know that I would recommend this as a Daily Commuter bike for anyone that has to travel on roads with higher speeds. My main stretch to get to work has a speed limit of 50mph, but most people are traveling go at least 60-65mph. Not being able to keep up with traffic on that road would likely not be the safest thing in the world. That being said, anything that is 40-45mph or less would probably be ok. One additional thing I do like about the bike is that it is really light, its easy enough to pick up and swing around the rear end if I need to. Also, the bike has a regular kick stand and a mechanic stand, which makes storing it a little bit easier (for me at least) in our garage. I'll try to post some pictures or videos up later I will fully admit, I haven't had as much time to run down the issues on the bike as I'd like because work has been a little crazy. I still want to take it to an actual mechanic to give it a once over just to be on the safe side. |

Rattling on the Chinese dual-sports tends to be from the exhaust heat shield. I would start there. It usually sounds worse than it is.

Most of the noise seems to be coming from the front fork/handle bar area and the gas tank mount. The rear isn't too bad, just a little squeaky with my fat self on the shock absorbers LOL.

Sorry to hear...COVID has really kickstarted Chinese motorcycle sales to unprecedented levels. I do understand there are still Icebear CT70 replicas available, but those are selling out. The last one in red sold out the other day.
