it's a mini spyder.....

[3tracs]

Uh... that has to be some kind of joke right? It's obviously a Spyder with some retooling (and not for the better).

[spyryder]

Looks like it has a hand brake though!

[Lamonster]

Looks like the Ridley of Spyders.

Chances are this will be one of those cheap throwaway knockoffs just like all the other China knockoffs. 250cc won't get you down the road very fast but it may get you to the store and back. You won't be crossing too many zipcodes, that's for sure.

I got to say there are some things I like about it. The front view looks pretty cool.

[Lamonster]

Well what do you know.

[spyryder]

Check the taillight and bodywork surrounding it.

[Smylinacha]

They allowed to copy like that?

I'm sure BRP will be all over that thing. It's way to close to their product.

I sure hope so! It may not be a but sure as hell looks close!

[IMRU3]

Just an IMITATOR. Not the ORIGINATOR. Thumbs down on this one.

[Rando]

Immitation is the best form of flattery...

[Derwin]

Hey, man..... This copycat thing might be just up my alley.....something I may just be able to afford!

But only 250cc?

You won't be able to keep up w/ anyone Derwin. Not a good investment IMHO.

Yeah, I know your right. But I'm just sooooooo anxious to experience this dang this.....even if it is a cheap no-good knock-off! Heck, I should be able to sell it after a while for at least a couple thousand, and that way I can have fun on it while I'm saving for the Spyder.

I don't know. I never did like cheap imitations of ANYTHING. But times are rough, man!

[kaiser]

Well I agree its a cheap china job. I would like to see one in person though, just because. How much are these? That Trizuma thing is pretty cool I've seen on the internet but its so not trying too look just like the one and only original Spyder!

[Derwin]

Well, I just got off the phone with a dealer friend of mine in South Dakota. He said he was speaking to an importer about these, and found out it would be wholesaling for around $3500 to $4000. I would think that would mean a RETAIL price of around $5,000 or $6,000 tops.

Anyway, I'm thinking of just getting one and using it until I can save up enough money for the REAL thing!

What do you think? Oops....maybe I shouldn't ask that question here!

Why not? After all it gets 100 miles/gallon and goes 120 MPH [/sarcasm]

Derwin, save your money. You were close before... should be closer by now.

[spyder3rdr]

check out the single - side swingarm on the rear ... i like that

[SpyderRider2492]

It is interesting, but so is a 'hot wheels' toy or a childrens peddle car from your local Mall. I do not think its even legal to drive this on the roads, its not even alowed to be sold in California as the disclaimer states, and probably will not meet many other states requirements.

( California customers should verify that the 'Rocketa' product you wish to buy is legal for sale in California).

Derwin, if you though you were taking a chance with the SE5, forget about this copy and contiue to save you cash and wait for the real thing, it may take longer but you will end saving the 6 grand you waste on a product with little on no resale value once purchased...

I know you want a Spyder as soon as, but don't jump into the fire and make things worse for yourself. Glad to see ya back and posting.

Oh so true! But, this toy lacks the sst; ebd; scs and other goodies of BRP. It does look different in the front. But workmanship is lackluster. Does it have a front trunk compartment? Reverse? Just wondering...
