rsx-200e model AKA 2007 Redcat rsx-200 - Page 2

RPM · 01-04-2007, 04:27 PM

This is a new one on me.
I have been a dealer of Redcat since Oct. 05 and have never seen these bikes. They were selling a Kazuma Cheetah at one time before I came aboard and then was going to bring in a DZ-200 which was actually a Lifan bike that is rebadged, but that was dropped for some reason.

Redcat has not sold any that I am aware of, but when they were headquartered in New Orleans before the hurricane, they may have stored some units that were not yet offered, but when Katrina hit, they let the insurance take care of the units that was left and were sold off in auctions as damaged units.

Just a thought to consider as I have never heard of a Redcat RSX-200 bike.

They are pictured here and some other websites (google them).
It looks very similiar to other chinese bikes.

2006 Roketa RSX-200 / Redcat GY-200 Cheetah.
Sorry, my earlier posts may have been missleading about the name and type, still not too familiar with Chinese bikes.

I understand. I even get confused sometimes.
I just thought I would try to help, but it looks like these are the Roketa bikes that he is selling.
These are good bikes and I am sure it will work for you. I sell something very similar to these that come from Hi-Bird that you can see in my gallery as well as the Lifan bikes.

He has two different bikes pictured on the add.
The Rocketta looks very much like my Tank 200 except the inverted forks.

Here is my Tank 200

Then the white bike on his website is labeled as a Redcat

To be honest (and I've been known to be wrong), I dont think he's actually selling the "Redcat" enduro anymore.
I was talking to him this fall? and he said Redcat stopped making them or something due to regulatory issues (this is from my very poor memory).

It could be he just never removed the "Redcat" from his website.
I do know he is stocking/selling Roketas.

That would be my bet, too.

The pic on the website for the Redcat bike is actually an old pic that was on the Redcat site quite a while ago, but was removed prior to Oct. 05 when I joined. I am pretty sure that there aren't many around left to sell.

Most likely, you will receive a Roketa if you order one.

Redcat, Roketa, Cheetah, too many names for basically the same product.

The Roketa would be fine. I am just looking for a street legal, inexpensive, dual sport bike to cruise the back roads of Southern Indiana

You guys have a good weekend and keep both tires on the road :P

Hi guys. The bike I now sell is the Roketa RSX-200E. It's on my site as the "Redcat GY-200" because 1) for a time, I had both, and 2) many people google GY-200 and since it's a similar bike, I wanted my site to show up. I only switched to the Roketa model when Redcat ran out. I do have picts of both on the site since they do look similar..

However I won't say they are the identical - since they are not. The 06 Roketa is a *far* superior bike to the 03-05 Redcat/Lifans. Without going into specifics, the overall QC is just much better.

Sorry for the confusion everyone. Feel free to visit my site for more detail: www.drummondpowersports.com ...

Hi Eddie,

Nice to see you joined up and cleared this up. I know you from the Redcat board and I was pretty sure that you didn't have any of the Redcat bikes left and these were the Roketa bikes that you are selling. I know when I have something sitting for 6 months, I red tag it and give it a new home.
Great to have you on here and feel free to join in on the conversations. We can always use another dealer on subjects that come up.

BTW, are you a Tank dealer by any chance?
