Skyteam T Rex 125 Review

Skyteam is a mixed bag in the motorcycle world. They are not a no-name Amazon brand; they have been around for decades. But they are not a Honda.

The Good:

The Bad:

The Verdict on Reliability: It is a 6/10. If you are handy with tools, you will love it. If you don’t know what a wrench is, buy a used Yamaha Zuma instead.

Under the tiny teardrop tank sits a 124cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine—a clone of the venerable Honda CG125 mill. This is both a blessing and a curse.

Verdict: Ideal for short hops, errands, and putting a grin on your face. Not for long-distance touring. The Bad:
